"I'd sure like to know what Robert Jindal's middle name is.."

His name isn't Robert. He took the name Bobby from the character of the same name on the Brady Bunch. His name is still legally Piyush Jindal.

Why do legislators need a raise? Ann Duplessis (D-Da Hood) doesn't need a pay raise if she can afford this...

Pass this along to the other LA Freepers - we need to bring the heat on Jindal to veto this...

The House should amend it, a pay raise may be warranted, but 200%, tied to US Congress and effective July 08? For part time work? LA would be the eighth or ninth highest paid in the nation. That state ranks 49 and 50 in all rankings.

Jindal will not need to veto, if public is outraged, this should fail in the house.
