Attention elected officials, we the people do not want and will not get politically behind things like DUI roadblocks, red light cameras and most especially placard reentry… Car placards to be used for re-entry in case of mandatory evacuation this hurricane season These are the types of government that voters hate. People want better roads,…
‘Mistakes Were Made’
I sense a ‘mistakes were made’ moment in the future… From Wikipedia “Mistakes were made” is an expression that is commonly used as a rhetorical device, whereby a speaker acknowledges that a situation was handled poorly or inappropriately but seeks to evade any direct admission or accusation of responsibility by using the passive voice. The…

I Don’t Get Republicans
I get conservatives. I do. Less government. I understand that. Don’t agree with it. But I grasp it as an ethos. Probably more than many Republicans. I’ve been following John Labruzzo since the tube tying for poor folks debacle in 2008. Lately, he is all about HB 617, his push for the state to drug…

President Coolidge, I mean Johnson, I Mean Bush, I Mean Obama is Coming!
President Obama is planning another visit to the Gulf Coast to view the progress on the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. Before he arrives, he should be advised that the people of South Louisiana are cynical of presidential visits. We have seen viewing of disaster areas before. We have heard promises and speeches before. There…
