I Almost Forgot...Congratulations Governor Jindal
My home state, Louisiana actually has returned to some degree of sanity and elected a Republican Governor. Getting rid of Kathleen Blanco the incompetent Deomcrat governor who refused to activate the Louisiana National Guard when President Bush requested it, has been dumped.
Ooh-lah cher, I bet dem folk down dere in Mamoo and Morgan City country be some hot. I gaa-rontee you dat. Dey been Democrats fo' long time now, dat fo' sho.
Well, I'm from North Louisiana which has always been more Republican and all I can say is it's about time. Kathleen Blanco grossly mishandled her number one obligation, to protect the people of her state, as I pointed out at the time in my articleBlanco's Territorial Imperative. Remember that article? Just the same as Ray Nagin did when he sent all those folks to the Superdome and left them stranded while he flew off to DFW.
Remember all those buses he allowed to get flooded? Here's a picture just to remind you Democrats who are now crying in your beers:

and here's another picture of them just a friendly little reminder for all you Democrats out there:

Please be sure and notice just how close to the Superdome that second group of buses was.
The really astounding thing is that one little teenage boy, Jabbar Gibson. was more concerned about his fellow citizens than was the Mayor of "Chocolate Town."

Jabbar's story was detailed by Rick Casey of the Houston Chronicle as I posted in this pick-up:
Hurricane Katrina's First Public Civilian Hero
The only question remaining is why the Democrats in New Orleans were gullible enough to re-elect a cowardly incompetent like Nagin...I guess Ann Coulter is right again, If They had Brains They'd be Republicans...and they'd vote that way too.
Heck, they should have elected Jabbar Gibson, at least he had the guts and wisdom to know what to do.
Well I'm not proud of my home state a lot of times, they have a really checkered past as far as ethics in government (if that's not an oxymoron). Huey P. Long, Earl Long, Jimmie Davis (who built the first "Bridge to Nowhere"), and of course the wonderfully outrageous Edwin Edwards...my personal favorite...not a very good record.
Anyway, congratulations to Bobby Jindal. Hope you can turn things around down there, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
Long Live Our American Republic!!!
