It's all Clinton's fault.

"2002 was the second year in a row that Louisiana has had more cases of gonorrhea per 100,000 residents than any other - and the fifth in a row that it has been among the five worst for both gonorrhea and chlamydia."

Compare this outstanding acheivement with the educational test results from LA & what do you get - indications of inbreeding and knuckle-dragging probably. Way to go cajuns!!

I guess there's a lot of lovin' going on in the Bayou.

Let's give Louisiana a standing O!

Everyone: Start clapping!

Doesn't a state HAVE to be #1? Is this really all that significant of anything?

I live in New Orleans. It's dirty here. When it rains downtown they call the runoff the French Quarter Cocktail. A mixture of vomit, urine and human waste. The high school graduation rate is 28%. Waste and fraud are the norm. We have dead people on the govornment teacher's payroll. The superintendant of schools father was making $70k a year, as a janitor. We have one fortune 500 business headquartered here. People are leaving in droves. We have been voted fattest city a couple of years ago. We have high retardation rates due to family incest. We have the worst streets in the US. The city is below sea level and we live in a region that is frequently hit by hurricanes. A hard rain floods the city. The best description of the city is Third World. And who do we have to thank? Decades of Democratic liberals leading the charge into demoralizing obscurity. I, like many others, live here because my parents are too old to move and unable to take care of themselves. But rest assured, the promised lands of Florida and Texas are calling. Take my advice, if you want to see a third world country without getting a passport, come on down, just dont forget to bring your antibiotics!

And I'm sure all the drunken celebrations after the big LSU win isn't going to help matters much ;)

I am re-posting this because I had previously listed the wrong link. This link is quite useful for death stat.s. on every state + various causes of death.
