Are you from Louisiana? If so, how dare you insult my home state. We put Democrat criminals in prison, unlike the Obama America. See: Edwin Edwards, Freezer Bill Jefferson.

MY wife is from New Orleans, and I lived in St. Mary Parish for three years. Edwin Edwards' game of in-and-out of office, using placeholders when he wasn't the governor (not to mention his children's "most favored citizen" status), and Huey P. Long were who I had in mind when I wrote my post. And, if I remember correctly, Jefferson was brought up on federal charges, not a violation of state law, but I could be remembering incorrectly. And the various parishes got new roads when they voted correctly (How long did it take for U.S. 90 out to Morgan City to get to its current much safer condition?)

Now, don't get me wrong. My wife's jambalaya and gumbo, or a good crawfish boil, are my definitions of gustatory heaven. And I seriously enjoyed the view of the cypress and Spanish moss from my living room window. But we have to call things what they really are if we are to make progress.
