The Third DegreeGOP's Landry, Boustany Lock Horns for Single Cajun Country Seat in Congress In Louisiana's 3rd Congressional District, two Republican incumbents - one Tea Partier and one Grand Old Partier - are squaring off in a winner-take-all battle for to represent Cajun Country in Washington. Tea TimeTalking FreedomWorksDuring the locally-staged, nationally watched Republican Leadership Conference, Michael T. Martin sat down with David Spielman, a member of one of the most influential organizations in the Tea Party faction. Timely Words Updated 4:15 p.m. Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head today outside a Safeway in Tuscon, Ariz. The story seems destined to blow up into a partisan firestorm, as the Democrat is already being linked to tea party political hit-lists (literally), before we can even get clear word about whether or not she is alive. So, at this hour, it's worth taking a second to read something she wrote back in 2005, after another national tragedy occurred. Giffords went to Houston to help people displaced by K. In a blog for her campaign website, she recounted the unthinkable size and weight of the devastation on the people moving throughdisaster relief lines. To close, she wrote, "But we can and should learn from their experiences when sifting through the evidence of what went wrong." Sounds simple enough, right? Modern Day DiasporaMarigny Musings Since it now appears that there are no longer any issues which are deemed to be too parochial for federal congressional elections, it's time for out of state federal congressional candidates to weigh in on true New Orleanian issues. Marigny MusingsGod Is A RepublicanYep, the secret is out. All you heathen Democrats, Independents, Socialists, and all other third partiers better repent and switch affiliations to save your souls, for God is a Republican and anyone not voting the party line is sure to have cast their after-life to hell. Tea BaggingMarigny MusingsNo, not the sexual practice (go view John Waters’ opus “Pecker” in case you need to be educated), or the fine makers of Luzianne but the political party that has placed itself somewhere to the extreme right of Joe McCarthy (Come on now, am I that damn old?) With all due respect to the Fab Four, folks there’s a revolution occurring, and too many of us are willing to watch the kettle boil instead of dousing the flame.
