That being said, she is showing some class here, but how great would it have been to have a true Reaganite, Bobby Jindal, in the Governor's mansion this week?
Thanks, North Louisiana, y'all did us a big f-ing favor by voting for Blank-o.
Nope. I happened to be in a Louisiana state office building two days ago, at precisely the time when the governor's memo to all state offices was being distributed. The employees were all annoyed that no closures were announced. Not because they loved Reagan and wished to see him properly honored, mind you. They were just hoping for a long weekend.
At the coffee machine this am a woman was whining about the Reagan stuff being overblown.
I resisted the urge to speak freely, and just said I disagree, He was a great man. then walked away.
Belated welcome to FR. :)
