Only time will tell. We have about as many Negroes in the Assemblies of God Church, as the Soutern Baptists have in theirs: very few, if any. Even the United Methodist Church–at least in Lake Charles–has only a very, very few. As a general rule, Negroes worship one way, and Caucasians another way. Negroes like a certain kind of church music; and, as a general rule, Caucasians like another kind. And only time will tell if Jindal is on the Republican Ticket; but, if not, get ready for Obama to be President. McCain can’t beat him without Jindal as his Vice-Presidential running mate. And I wonder; is McCain’s first wife still living? I wonder whom she will support, the Negro, or her X-hubby who transhed her for the millionairess whose father is the second largest alcoholic beverage distributor in the U.S.? Again, only time will tell. s/Hardy Parkerson, Lake Charles

And Barack Obama is married to a trasky,sleavy, shysterlawyer.

The Democratic Convention will be very interesting to see. This convention will most probably be the deciding point to decide if the party remains the party we have known or will change as Obama has promised. For myself I see no bright future for the party to represent me and my views, however I can never allow myself to become a Republican.

In the early 60’s I worked as a Top 40 Disc Jockey working at W L C S in Baton Rouge and other great stations in the nation. I played lots of Bo Diddley in my time.

Bo Dddley was born in McComb, MS and would come to Baton Rouge two or three times a year. He would visit relatives that lived in the Baton Rouge. And he would always pay us a visit at W L C S.

He was a fun person to be be around..

Talk is cheap on an internet site. But reality you would drove right by, now wanting to get involves.

All because of shysters lawyers.

Today HB1369 formally HB 948 passed the Senate insurance committee with another set of amendments. This time Property Insurance PIAL got its claws on it by mounting a heavy lobbing campaign. The bill was primarily designed to provide some oversight into the PIAL controlled fire insurance rate making process. Their objections and lobbing forced representative St Germain to give in and relinquish control back to the PIAL. The fire service retains a small input into rate credits through some sort of subcommittee of the PIAL board. The sub committee has little power but to recommend rate credits for efforts such as fire prevention and fire investigation programs. The Insurance Commissioner who wanted to get rid of the dubious PIAL also objected to the fire service backed bill. It seems that he just couldn’t or didn’t want to understand that the bill would provide for a transition to removing PIAL and substituting ISO. He wanted to do this with SB 334. It was defeated in committee due to its poor wording and explanation as to how it would effect rate payers. HB 1369 was patterned after a similar law passed in Texas when they transitioned from Key Rates (like PIAL) to ISO. The Commissioned refused to acknowledge that the fire service knows what its doing when they talk about reducing fire risk and giving credits to the rate payer. The end result of this is that PIAL is as strong as ever and the fire insurance rate payers are still at their mercy. There is little chance that the Commissioner or legislature will have the guts to regulate PIAL or get rid of them. Representative Kleckley still has a bill pending AG’s opinion that would require PIAL to give its grading requirements to the fire service. PIAL is objecting to this of course. Why should they explain how they do business?

Dear Dr. Molly, Go to “Jim’s Music Selections” on left-hand side of his Home Page and click on Number 12, and listen to my song to you. Been missing you, gal! s/Hardy

Dear Willie Walsh, How do you know Mr. Tucker and others didn’t listen. Mr. Tucker and also had input from other voters that approved of a raise for for our legislators.

Just because you were against the raise, don’t mean that people like myself felt the same way.

Stop you whining.

Gerald, those clowns didn’t appoint themselves to the job.

Everyone of them were elected by people like you.

TOM, just where do you think your going. Every state has its challeges. There are malcontents like you, in every state. Even if the Pope was elected governor of Louisiana, you would still something @itch about.

Now al you people need got a life.

Already Too Many Laws!

You have heard it said that we have too many lawyers. I say we do not have too many lawyers, but too many laws. Napoleon said that since every man is presumed to know the law and ignorance is no excuse for violating the law, that there should be no more laws than would fit in a one volume code that would fit in a man’s hip pocket or a woman’s purse. Thus the Code Napoleon, which Louisiana adopted as its own and which served us well for over two hundred years, until the Louisiana “Law Explosion” of recent years.

Now each time the Louisiana legislature meets it passes over a thousand new laws, not like the early years of my legal career when it passed a few laws only every other yearly session. Now instead of our having a code of laws, accessible to every man, now to find the law one must be trained in legal research and delve into literally hundreds of volumes containing literally thousands of black letter statutes. Louisiana’s citizens are inundated in an ocean of laws. Law has become a major industry in Louisiana: courthouses, courts, judges, clerks of court, court-reporters, bailiffs, lawyers, district attorneys, thousands of cops, law offices on every corner; and all of them busy as a one-armed paper hanger. There is no need for so many laws, for such a law industry. It is easy to understand why we need many doctors and hospitals, for we all need health-care; but law should not be such a big part of our daily lives. The less laws the better.

It’s time for Louisiana to return to the idea of codification: the publication of laws in plain and simply understandable principles of law contained in a one-volume code that will serve to guide the citizens and the courts as they interpret and apply the law. It’s time to tell our legislators to quit passing so many laws and to vote against those who do, to tell the governor to use her veto more, to vote against them or her if they do not, to elect to office only those public officials who will pledge in advance to quit passing so many laws and to reduce the number of laws already on the books. There is more to it all than this, but this is

something to think about.

The legislature should have to ask the people and we decide if they get a raise since they are our employees. We could decide every 4 years by ballot.

The elephant strides at his own gait, and dogs do trail behind and bark.

Dear Governor Jindal,

I say the legislative pay raise was not excessive. You should just let the present situation be, do not say that they should back down. In Calcasieu Parish, the unelected parish administrator makds $225,000.00, a year, with benefits. Why should an elected official be low paid, compared to that? You are doing a great job! Don’t back down. Hold your own! Pretty soon, I predict you will be Vice-President of the U.S., and no later than four years later, the President of the U.S. Keep up the good work! Again, you are doing a great job; don’t let someone else pressure you to go against the legislative will, as it has been expressed.

With kindest regards, I am

Sincerely,

Dear Bobby:

I continue to contradict myself and that doesn’t please me because I have always tried to be a man of my word.

After you failed to return three telephone calls and not respond to three letters I told you I would never contact you again. After reading these two articles in the paper it has stimulated me to try one LAST time to communicate with you.

I am deeply grieved by all the negativity & criticism that you are receiving from the media and the voters in our state. Sigmund Freud and William James said, “the greatest kindness you can give a friend is the truth.” With that in mind, as your friend, I want to be 100% honest to you because I like you and want you to be successful.

Apparently those advising you are not doing a very good job or you have closed your mind to them and the public. Being the LSU basketball coach for 25 years I am well aware of the criticism that comes from a high profile position, and I wonder if you are really aware of the dissatisfaction people feel toward you at this present moment. Never would I ever be so rude to not respond to a friend’s letters and telephone calls. I am not trying to sound like a know-it-all but I do want you to succeed and after 44 years of coaching I then fully recognized my limitations, mistakes and distance from the ideal. I hope you will take this correspondence in the spirit that it is written. I trusted you, believed in you, and promoted you to everyone I possibly could. Now, I am wondering what happened to the Bobby Jindal I knew.

A disappointed friend,

Dale Brown

What more can I say! I am not against Obama
because he is Black. I am against him because
he has his roots in Islam. I fear he may be an
agent of the Islamists, who feel it is their duty
to “Allah” to destroy America and what it stands for and to kill all Christian and Jewish “infidels”. Obama may indeed be a “born again” Christian; but I fear him as President George
W. Bush’s successor, as there are just too many unknowns about him. Let him serve longer as a U.S. Senator and prove himself to the American people before he becomes President. There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about.

“McCain will win with Jindal as his V.P. running mate; he can’t win without him.”

A Harrisonburg man is coordinating an effort he hopes will result in the recall of northeastern Louisiana legislators who voted for a legislative pay raise that Gov. Bobby Jindal vetoed last week.

DeWayne Guice is the regional coordinator for Louisiana Clean Sweep, a grassroots organization that started after the Legislature voted to more than double its pay.

“We’ve got them in our sights, and we’ve got blood in our eyes,” Guice said. “I consider what they did immoral.”

But the statewide coordinator of Louisiana Clean Sweep said interest in recalling those who voted for the raise has waned since Jindal’s veto.

“Our goal was to get every legislator who voted for the raise recalled, but to be honest, I’m not sure the interest is still there,” said David Simpson of Covington, who administers the Web site http://www.lacleansweep.com.

Simpson said organizers were to meet Tuesday night to discuss how to proceed. No recall petitions have been filed on northeastern Louisiana legislators.

Those who voted for the raise from northeastern Louisiana include Reps. Rosalind Jones, D-Monroe; Noble Ellington, D-Winnsboro; Frank Hoffmann, R-West Monroe; Bubba Chaney, D-Rayville; Rick Gallot, D-Ruston; Hollis Downs, R-Ruston; and Sens. Francis Thompson, D-Delhi; and Bob Kostelka, R-Monroe.

Ellington represents Guice in District 20.

“The only thing I can say is that the people have elected me for more than 20 years and that I intend to serve as long as they want me to serve,” Ellington said. “If they don’t, that’s the American way. I’m sure there’s not a lot I can do to change (Guice’s) mind, but I appreciate the opportunity to serve my district.”

Guice said despite Simpson’s assertion that the enthusiasm for recalls has diminished, he plans to move forward.

“I know it’s hard to recall anybody, but if we don’t get them in a recall, we’re going to get them in the next election,” Guice said. “They’re hoping in three years the public will forget. But we’re not going to let people forget.”

North Louisiana refuses to let the pay raise issue go away.

Mitt Romney will be McCain’s choice.

Jindal is not even close to being in the running.

Someone wrote on Politicsla.com that McCain had rejected Jindal as his V.P. running mate. Well, then it’s too bad for McCain and the Republicans!
If McCain and the Republicans don’t put Jindal on that ticket as the V.P.
nominee, they they don’t have a chance of winning. If they do include
the Catholic Jindal on the Republican Ticket, Obama does not have a
chance. It’s that simple!

Simple, ordinary, everyday words are words of clear and unmistakable meaning. President Reagan demonstrated this when he spoke, “Mr Gorbachve, Tear down this wall.”

The American people have been waiting for Congress to address the energy crises, yet both houses of Congress adjourned and went home leaving the energy mess behind. Further, to prevent any commentary from the house floor while the House of Representatives was on “vacation,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, turned off the lights and the C-Span cameras. We understand that Speaker Pelosi also had the capital police prevent any assembly of Representatives on the House floor. Under public and Congressional pressure, the lights were turned back on and assembly of Representatives was permitted. But, the edict against the C-Span cameras continues.

The Louisiana Conservative Party, in the pattern of President Reagan’s simple words here states, “Madam Speaker, the House is the peoples’s house, not your house.”

After deliberation of Speaker Pelosi’s actions, the Louisiana Conservative Party appeals to our Louisiana citizens who are upset with the House majority leadership to write your local Congressional Representative to create a bipartisan committee of the House of Representatives to revise House rules for the operation of C-Span, all under the control of the House Clerk and not by any elected official.

Where is Hardy Parkerson?

McCain finally has discharged all rumors of Jindal being a candidate for VP. true to his past McCain made a decision that is revolutionry to the GOP by choosing a female candidate. Could under the leadership of maverick John McCain the Republicans are becoming more progressive than the Democrats?

Jim I can’t see a Jindal/Palin ticket in the future but Palin/Jindal maybe interesting.

How i may contact the administrator of a site? I have a question.

It just seems like it all just for fun and I hope it stays that way.
