julie mcconathy political mail-out front
julie mcconathy political mail-out backwe logged on to metairie, louisiana's wist talk radio am 690 a little after one pm. caroline fayard a candidate for lt. governor was scheduled to be on mitch gibbs "the world according to gibbs" program around 1:15.
we started recording right away because we werent sure that we would be by the computer when ms. fayard was on -- it being such a bee-you-tee-full day n shit.
we're glad we did too, when we were surprised to learn jay dardenne had an interview immediately preceding ms. fayard and we had caught it.
so we got two for the price of one and didnt even have to edit anything. wist & mitch gibbs rock.
after some sports talk by mr. gibbs about the new orleans hornets, who are 2 - 0 and on the road tonight against san antonio (UPDATE: the hornets won. 99 - 90);
jay dardenne is on at 5:45 and caroline fayard from 18:22. unfortunately, ms. fayard who was phoning from palmetto island state park had a few drops in her mobile fone service.
caroline fayard one of two candidates for louisiana lieutenant governor on this coming tuesday, 02 november 2010 ballot, was in studio, live, in lafayette, la around 7:25 this morning. ms. fayard was on the news radio 96.5 kpel morning show.
although ms. fayard didnt touch upon her um obamacare faux pas from the league of women voters of baton rouge, la. debate of 22 october 2010 -- she did mention a few times about how all the political, governmental and judicial corruption are major problems in louisiana needing to be addressed.
the gist of ms. fayard's remarks that we got anyway was that it doesnt matter what kind of good job the lt governor does in promoting the state -- if the police and underlying government -- state, local, city, parish, whatever are corrupt then honest respectable people will continue to shun louisiana.

FAYARD DISTANCES HERSELF FROM OTHER DEMS ON MOON GRIFFON SHOW - THE DEAD PELICAN 2010 @ www.thedeadpelican.com/2010/fayard.htm 
scott linzay is a candidate on the 02 november 2010 ballotcaroline fayard is a candidate for lieutenant governor of louisiana on the tuesday, 02 november 2010 ballot.
this morning around 11:05 am ms. fayard was campaigning down the bayou when she stopped by for an in studio interview by the klrz "talk on the bayou" program.
among the subjects ms. fayard touched on were:
(1) in reply to a caller who asked "how can a candidate admire a president who on tee-vee cheated on his wife?" like ms. fayard and the program host we assumed the caller was on about bill clinton, but after listening to that part again we're not so sure. anyway, ms. fayard said: "when it comes to social issues and morality i am in no means in favor of hurting families and being embarrassing." she said that "it was certainly very damaging to me to see that (between the clintons) happen."
(2) said that obamacare is "a scary proposition" and that there "is a lot we dont understand about it." ms. fayard also supports the attorneys general lawsuit against it and said that she thinks that its well within the rights of the attorneys general to file suit.

The following ad is scheduled to run several times (Oct. 17-22) on three New York radio stations: 1010 WINS, 770 WABC and 710 WOR.
This message is brought to you by True Torah Jews, an international organization of hundreds of thousands of Torah-abiding Jews.
As the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks continue, the leaders of the Israeli government would like to claim Jewish identity for the State of Israel.
It is our belief that the State of Israel is not a Jewish state; it is a Zionist state.
It is our view that ever since Jews were sent into exile by Heavenly decree, Jews were permitted to live in all parts of the world, including the Holy Land, but only without Jewish sovereignty.
In our view, the coalition of the Israeli government, both secular and religious, represent only themselves.
They do not speak in the name of the Jewish people or the Jewish religion.
Our message to the Israeli government is clear: the Jewish people have paid far too much to allow you to claim Jewish identity for the State of Israel.

wow. kudos to ms. becky.
apparently, someone took the time to investigate the background of some reelect cedric glover mayor of shreveport, la. campaign fund contributors from the 02 october 2010 disclosure filing and discovered that several of them who were listed as contributing thousands of dollars reside in section 8 housing.
"this means" according to my bossier that section 8 residents "have a good part of their rent paid by a government housing program because they have certified that they do not have enough income to pay rent on their own."
which begs the obvious questions of did they really give their own money or were they merely conduits from the real campaign financier and if so who is it? see couple living in section 8 housing donates $5,000 to glover campaign.
in a subsequent posting my bossier reveals:On October 4th, the Glover campaign filed a new disclosure form to supersede the Oct 2nd filing. In this one, the names of the Harveys and Theresa May and one other person had been removed and other names put in – to equal the same amount as the first report. ~ read more
for a couple of days earlier this week, we had criminal jury duty at the ninth judicial district court in downtown alexandria, rapides parish, louisiana.
we had started on a post recounting our big adventure ... but, friday evening, gannett/the town talk reported from its website that "judge koch declares mistrial in domestic abuse case in rapides parish." click here to download town talk scan one page .pdf 196 kb.
while we werent on that particular jury, per se, we did witness its selection and a part of its voir dire.
gannett reported that the prosecutor in the case was monique metoyer. however, the assistant district attorney who handled the prosecutions voir dire portion was numa metoyer. the defense attorney was glenn cortello.
while we seriously doubt that any juror or witness, etc. would ever stumble across wst..., "out of an abundance of caution" (this some new lawyer words we learnt) we will wait until later to finish.
UPDATE: tuesday 29 march 2011: gannett/the town talk lewis acquitted of domestic abusethese flowers, even before the smattering of rain we received on monday and tuesday, 11 and 12 october 2010, were and still are blooming quite well all over rapides parish, louisiana.

By Law and Grace, Inc.:RE: David Vitter ad slammed as racist by advocates for immigrants
If David Vitter's campaign ads would more closely address and resemble the issues facing Louisiana, he would fare a whole lot better!
By: Jonathan Tilove
Times-Picayune @ nola.com
We have SO MANY Louisiana problems which need addressing, Vitter could help undecided voters --including me, to better ascertain what he intends to do about them!
Whether or not David Vitter dislikes people based upon the color of their skin, his pattern of operation demonstrates that he favors the ELITE class of people --to the unfair and unjust disadvantage of others (probably including immigrants, and not all Blacks --as I feel sure he has his 'tokens').
His pattern of conduct indicates that he thinks he has superior thinking skills to his audience by showing TV ads that talk about what Charle Melancon did or did not do for or with President Obama.
I don't give a flip about hearing Vitter's SAME STUPID OKEY DOKEY talk.
I PREFER to know which of the ISSUES & CONDITIONS affecting every day / non-elite people Vitter intends to address!
I have a grasp on what he does to make things better for the rich and powerful, but they are not the only residents of Louisiana --and many of them are getting old, and some are or will be indicted.
It is aggravating to hear Vitter on the television, Melancon, and others --but especially Vitter because he does it ALL THE TIME, continuing to talk about what is least significant in these crucial economic times!
I could have better respect for Vitter if he had better respect for his listening audience and talked about the issues of Louisiana which desperately need answers since not everyone is interested in pleasuring him or her self, or going hunting, and other gratifying things while being worried about economic conditions.
I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN that I never hear Vitter say anything those things because he does not intend to do anything.
I don't know if I want to vote for Melancon, but the jejune finger pointing at Melancon rather than concrete discussion of the issues wastes my time!
I am trying to give Vitter the benefit of the doubt since I against any politician who engineers judicial benches to be filled with inept and corrupt State as well as Federal judges; and who underhandedly influences appointments of U.S. attorneys!!!
I am further against politicians who pleasure themselves with travel and life's finest while their fellow-citizens endure constant ravages of crime and corruption, with no end in sight; and while their cronies receive slaps on their wrists when their acts of corruption can no longer be whitewashed.
Those are some of the issues for which Louisiana has needed answers for a very long time!
I reiterate my assertion that nearly every social problem in Louisiana can be linked to when controversies require judicial remedies and no other choice except face judges --whom, being friends and giving the best gifts or doing favors for judges ensures good outcomes.
And although there are many intelligent attorneys here, it does not require intelligence nor knowledge of the law, nor even submitting lawful grounds to become granted favorable rulings by certain judges, say for example, Ivan Lemelle and Kurt Engelhardt.
Now, since there seems to be changes in the way comments become posted here at nola.com (particularly for Vitter and his worshipers) here is what I'm posting throughout the Internet:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now is a good time for election candidates to be talking about solutions for the LOUISIANA CORRUPTION TITANIC rather than each other.
What REALLY is wrong with Louisiana is inept and / or corrupt judicial and U.S. Attorney in positions, that were mainly orchestrated by political placement power!
The justices’ abuses are EASILY PROVABLE by looking at Louisiana real estate / mortgage illegalities, and facilitating court judges.
Thankfully, FORECLOSURE FRAUD has center stage in the national media.
The light will shine brighter in this judicial corruption that has been hiding in plain sight here in Louisiana –and directly linked to Louisiana’ blighted communities \ commercial and residential frauds \ insultingly blatant Bankruptcy lawlessness \ illegal evictions \ unjust homelessness \ disintegrated households \ poverty \ violence \ joblessness \ substance abuse, etc. (Of course, I have approached lawmakers –to no avail– with suggestions, only to incur severe reprisals. And, an option does not exist for me to retreat from doing what I believe is right, nor moving away from loved ones.
Presently –from Judge Thomas Porteous’ impeachment trial, testimonies about the “Louisiana Way” of giving gifts (bribes) and doing ‘favors’ for judges– members of Congress have more than ample information which makes it silly to impeach Porteous and disregard Louisiana in-your-face lawlessness.
Foreclosure fraud has now been explained so clearly, even a child can understand that some people have indeed been illegally tossed from their homes, it will not be hard to detect the unlawful foreclosures that occurred here –especially the illegal foreclosure that unjustly caused people to be Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita exiled from their homes (but their neighbors erroneously blame them for blight).
In fact, a mere GLANCE at Louisiana fraudulent property transactions surrounding Freddie Mac, Wells Fargo, and certain foreclosure mills here –supplies additional reasons for Capitol Hill to probe Louisiana.
**The current congress members who represent Louisiana have done zilch about decades of PRIMA FACIE foreclosure and mortgage fraud!
To reiterate: David Vitter, Charlie Melancon, and other candidates: You have the opportunity to show worthiness of people’s votes by not insulting our intelligence with finger-pointing at each other, but by talking about your plans for addressing the LOUISIANA CORRUPTION TITANIC; it seems headed underwater with all of us on board.

"assuming some unforeseen scandal does not break between now and election day"
hmmm mmkay. remember this is the nutter who endorsed caligula over the marquis de sade.
speaking of sammy's -- it looks like sammy kershaw is all in for the republican party. jay dardenne and kershaw's camp have sent out media advisories in advance of their joint news conference at lafayette, la., 10 am.thursday.
nola.com reports:The news conference is expected to result in Kershaw's endorsement of Dardenne, but neither camp would confirm that an endorsement is imminent. ~ source
we still think that mr. kershaw should disown the republican party and run for state representative next year as a no party candidate.
if indeed it turns out that mr. kershaw endorses jay dardenne in the morning -- if he's planning on staying in the republican party he would just about have to, we wont hold it against him. but if he does we'll never vote for him again.
its dry. it hasnt been this dry since the 1998 - 2000 drought. back then it took two years to get this dry; whereas, now its only taken a couple of months to get to that level. or something.
during the gustav "event" we never could have envisioned it being so dry ever again.
anyway, today, we set out to see if we could locate miss bone stripper and her brood. in the '98 - '00 drought all the alligators that were around moved away. its only been in the past couple of years that any number have returned.
fortunately, it didnt take that long to find her; and we were thankful to hear at least some of her hatchlings chirping. that was a good sign. in the first vid you might can hear one but there is a bird in there too.
you can see how dry it is -- where she is laying at today is in the exact same spot where we photographed her back in april.
the first vid the wind was pretty still so there isnt much wind disturbance and you can hear insects.
in the second vid the wind had picked up so there is some wind disturbance. but its not too bad, at around 1:17 miss bone stripper gives us some sexy winks and a lil wiggle before settling back in.
the little water remaining is all covered-over in some sort of green plant growth. its likely stagnant too. pray for rain.
in oz, everybody must go to the polls or face fines if you do not vote.
the electoral commission will require a response from you as to why you did not vote;
if they are not convinced that you have a good enough reason or that you're lying you will be fined AUS 20 - 50. USD $18 - 45
the commission can take court action against you for not voting and you could be liable for court costs as well.
australia believes that civil duty trumps civil rights.
