Poll PositionToday was primary day, and most of the elections went as planned. Vitter and Melancon trounced their opposition and will face off for the Sneate Seat. Cedric Richmond easily won a position as Cao's executioner avoiding a runoff. (Sorry to NoDef favorite Juan LaFonta.) The BIG NEWS is Huner Downer's race against the Tea Party which appears to be heading for a runoff. StormFrontPorn Star turned Perhaps Poltico, Stormy Daniels, has announced that she is switching parties. The lifelong Democrat now Republican wrote, "...While this decision has not been an easy one, recent events regarding Republican National Committee fundraising at Voyeur, an LA based lesbian bondage themed nightclub finally tipped the scales... ...As someone who has worked extensively in both the club and film side of the Adult Entertainment Industry, I know from experience that a mere $1900 outlay at a club with the reputation of Voyeur is a clear indication of a frugal investment with a keen eye toward maximum return..." Only in Louisiana, kids! Hot Button IssueDriving safety is in vogue with our elected officials these days - don't worry though, the drive through daquiri shops are still safe. Everyone is concerned about texting while driving. Vitter cosponsored a bill in the Senate that will withhold federal funds from states (those in pyrex abodes!) that do not enact laws against cel calls and texting while driving. Not to be outdone, Senator Mary has cosponsored a similar bill focused on texting while driving alone. On the state level, lots has been going on. |
