Don't forget the heavy French influence in Louisiana. 3.8 million Americans speak some version of French, mostly Louisiana Cajuns and Acadians. Never fear: they're fully Americanized. Most are Catholic and will vote for Bush.

"Americans speak some version of French, mostly Louisiana Cajuns and Acadians." The CORRECT statement would be "Louisiana CREOLES and Acadians". Creoles being those of French ancestry who resided in Louisiana BEFORE the Acadians (Cajuns) made their way down from Nova Scotia.

10 years in Cajun country (and 30 lbs heavier) a coonass can influence you more ways than one, (FOOD!) I had never had real Bread until New Orleans, and have not had any real bread since.
ZIP bread rocks.
(I'd pay $20.00 right now for a greasy burger patty a slice of tomato in-between a sliced piece of zip bread)
I miss little Arabi, I miss the Parish, the West Bank, Boudreaux and Thibodeaux and Benoit
