Andy, Barn’, and Otis
A couple of things on my mind today:
“Slick-Willie” Jefferson is in the news because several members of both parties are calling the search of his office unconstitutional which may be a clue as to where the missing $10k went. In some protest letter his attorney said the following:
“The actions of the executive branch are an affront to the constitutional separation of powers and a violation of the absolute privilege and immunity that members of Congress enjoy…”
What?!? What was that again?? “absolute privilege and immunity”?!!?? I don’t remember anything in the constitution about Congressman having a right to take bribes from companies they partly own to in turn bribe officials in other countries. I’m starting to think “Slick-Willie” fell for that Nigerian email scam that’s been floating around the internet for years.
Willie, they have you on video!! The CEO of iGate plead guilty and rolled over on you! When you prostitute yourself out and shit goes wrong, all you can do is swallow and back away slowly.
And in other news, the State issued a statement today that they’re satisfied with the evacuation drill yesterday in spite of the fact that even in absolutely perfect weather there was miscommunication and no one knew who was responsible for calling the evacuation of the drill trailer park near Baton Rouge. As a result, it seems they couldn’t organize a couple of hundred volunteers (who are in no doubt, pretty good health) and get them moved out of a trailer park. So to summarize the drill, they put some wrist bands on people and brought in a few buses - sounds more like a bachelor party in Los Angeles.
On the bright side, several hundred inmates have been released from OPP because they were running out of room in the jail. They assure us though, that these are all non-violent criminals. And it’s also nice to know that the Public Defender’s Office has been abandoned since they don’t have any money. So if you commit a crime in Orleans Parish, you’ll just have to sit in jail without talking to an attorney until they just decide to let you go. What kind of Mayberry bullshit is that? - remember how Otis, the town drunk, used to come in at night and lock himself up, have breakfast in the morning and they’d let him go home? Maybe we need to send them over to Mount Pilot for processing.
I really didn’t mean for this post to be so pessimistic, but what can I say?

What can you say?? Well, for one thing - Jefferson is a whore. How’s that monkey-boy?
I was driving to Lowe’s and I was thinking about your post on Jefferson. I started to cry. I really did. Isn’t it so very sad Jack? Doesn’t it make u sick? With all that we (everyone in the area) are dealing with, here is a guy with pure greed. It’s all about greed.
This storm hit my family very hard, everyday is a struggle yet we pursue. And then we read about Jefferson and it makes you wonder about the evil in people.
THe evil in people does not interest me unless no one knows it’s happening. If we allow it, then the things that consume a few of us will consume all of us. He’s and elected official, and though I may not be the most responsible citizen, I have not given up hope that thing can be changed.
Don’t cry, it istn’ that important, but keep it in mind and rail against all the things that make your life harder than it needs to be and you won’t feel like crying anymore.
Life isn’t hard and it isn’t difficult - it just seems like that sometimes.
We’ll all be just fine, I promise.
Three year old wanting popsicles have all the answers too.
Blessed Be.
