sammy kershaw lieutenant governor political event at pineville la

today we ventured over to the parking lot of furniture world in pineville, la. to see a hayride-stump speech by sammy kershaw.

mr. kershaw is running for lieutenant governor in a special election to replace mitch landrieu who this last winter went on to be selected mayor of orleans.

this was the first time we've ever had the opportunity to see a professional musician without having to pay first and we even got free swag + it was short and sweet. so that was nice.

this playlist is divided into three segments instead of two -- because in the bright sun (today's weather is excellent so far) we couldn't read the counter on the screen at all. we didnt want to run over youtube's ten minute limit.

we obviously have no sense of time either. but at least it wasnt windy. much.

wouldnt you know it though that a few minutes ago, for the first time, we noticed that youtube has increased their vid length to fifteen minutes.

we havent made up our mind who to vote for lieutenant governor. we know who we wont be voting for and that's jay dardenne and roger villere. only a crook or an imbecile would vote for either.

we would like mr. kershaw a lot better if he would have repudiated the republican party and ran as a no party candidate. we'll see.

    a who dat cease and desist letter

    via: the dead pelican

    click picture to enlarge
    the lunacy never ends. on the other hand, surely "who dat" has reached the over saturation point by now anyway.

    also, it would seem that with all this publicity about the complaining the monistere brothers are doing over the rights to "who dat" that they are running the risk of ruining its marketability by attaching to it in the public's mind a lot of negative feelings.


    davis, cedillo & mendoza's "trials & transactions" slogan is pretty clever though.
    Let’s be clear what’s happening here. The Monistere Brothers are shaking down local businesses like Storyville and threatening them with lawsuits if the local merchants continue to sell “Who Dat” merchandise.

    They are essentially claiming something that they do not own and attempting to prevent anyone else from making money from the phrase “Who Dat.” ~ read more

    even paris hilton forced to own up to her crimes

    hotel heiress paris hilton appeared in a clark county, nevada courtroom this morning to plead guilty to cocaine possession and obstructing justice by lying to a police officer.

    Standing before Justice of the Peace Joe Bonaventure, Hilton admitted that both 0.8 grams of cocaine and the Chanel handbag where it was found were hers and said she was guilty of misdemeanor drug possession and misdemeanor obstructing an officer.

    "I was in possession of cocaine," Hilton said in a meek voice. She then told Bonaventure that she had lied to a Las Vegas police lieutenant when she told him the handbag wasn't hers. ~ read more
    meanwhile, here in louisiana -- the most corrupt state in the nation -- someone from a prominent family who ran over and killed three people -- supposedly while intoxicated, in what some consider one of the most gruesome crime/accident scenes in recent memory -- can stand before a judge and not have to say one word to give account of himself or apologize while being sentenced under the terms of a very plum plea bargain.

    imagine what the really wealthy, patrician families here in louisiana are getting away with.

    kudos to the clark county, nevada district attorney for doing his job.

    BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Shoppers enjoying a Sunday afternoon inside the Mall of Louisiana got a scare after a mid-day robbery caused chaos inside the shopping center.

    Crowds rushed out of the mall after initial reports indicated shots were fired. Authorities later confirmed shots had not been fired. Rather, two masked thieves had robbed a jewelry stand inside the mall.

    is 9th jdc judge thomas yeager a crook or just incompetent?

    UPDATE: gannett/the town talk sunday 26 september 2010

    Justice Louisiana Style
    ====
    ----ORIGINAL POST----

    9th judicial district court judge thomas yeager
    photo: www.9thjdc.org

    gannett/the town talk is reporting this morning that yesterday, ninth judicial district court judge, thomas yeager sentenced a deville man to thirty-four years in prison "for two counts of vehicular homicide in a wreck a year ago on the cottingham expressway in pineville."

    reportedly, jeffrey deville, of deville, louisiana, was driving on the expressway when his truck crossed the median and struck a car killing lsua professor, barbara frye and her companion louis tyner, both of pollock, la,.instantly.

    mr. deville might have been intoxicated at the time of the wreck because it was reported "tests showed" that he had "drugs in his system at the time of the crash."

    so whats the big deal -- 34 years ... that sounds about right eh?

    well contrast this sentence -- to the one handed down just a couple of months ago, also by judge yeager, in the mysterious case of justin paul brouillette.

    mr. brouillette, like mr. deville, was also suspected of barreling down the highway under the influence when he ran over and killed three people -- a mother and her two daughters who were walking somewhere on the shoulder of the road. its believed that they too were killed instantly.

    at the time, it was said that this wreck was one of the most gruesome; heinous accident/crime scenes in recent memory.

    mr. brouillette from judge yeager, "received a 15-year sentence -- which could be completed within 3-and-a-half years."

    in a 23 may 2010 [original source link] [seven page .pdf 70 kb] column, the gannett editorialist, cynthia jardon, revealed that mr. brouillette comes from a prominent family apparently "with enough cash;" including a mysterious unnamed retired judge and also a suspicious connection between the rapides parish district attorney's office and mr. brouillette's defense attorney.

    previously, on 11 may 2010, the gannett repeater, abby brown doyle, (this might be important: judge yeager officiated her 27 march 2010 marriage ceremony.[original source link] [two page .pdf 86 kb] gannett/the town talk, 09 may 2010), reported how at sentencing mr. brouillette remained silent. this means that he was not required as part of his plea bargain to allocute to his crime.

    everyone whose ever watched "law & order" much must be familiar with that term. despite the fact that "law & order" is a fictional, tee-vee program, supposedly set in the city of new york, allocution is a real word and a real operation of law:
    Allocute generally means to formally declare something...In the legal context, it refers to stating specifically and in detail one's actions and motices, [sic] often in relation to commission of a crime.

    In most United States jurisdictions a criminal defendant is allowed the opportunity before sentencing to offer an explanation for the crime through allocution.

    Some jurisdictions provide that this is an absolute right for all defendants, without which, a sentence may be overturned, and a new sentencing hearing must be held.

    Allocution is sometimes required of a defendant who pleads guilty to a crime in a plea bargain in exchange for a reduced sentence.

    In such cases, allocution is intended to provide closure for victims or their families by removing any doubt as to the exact nature of the defendant's guilt in the crime. ~ source
    louisiana style allocution, the loony looziana supreme court teaches us, for example in the unpublished appendix to opinion in state of louisiana v ricky joseph langley, (a capital case) pages 41 - 42, that the right of allocution is a defendants right at the sentencing hearing.

    the supremes quoting our own third circuit appeals court wrote:
    “right of allocution has normally been reserved to a defendant addressing the sentencing judge.”
    in louisiana there is nothing to stop the district attorney from asking for or requiring a criminal to allocute to his or her crime and give account of himself. especially... especially, in exchange for when a criminal receives such a plum plea bargain as it appears happened in mr. brouillette's case.

    when you read between-the-lines of ms. jardon's piece, doesnt it seem possible that one reason judge yeager, the rapides parish district attorney's office, the mysterious unnamed retired judge and the defense attorney kept out the allocution was to protect the brouillette family's assets?

    after all, if the victims family filed a civil suit against mr. brouillette, isnt it likely that his allocution in hand would strengthen their case?

    it appears that ms. jardon's questions about the deville case were answered. it doesnt look like mr. deville had a prominent attorney or judge in his family to call in favors for him, or a lot of cash, or a defense attorney playing slap-n-tickle with the folks in the district attorney's office.

    it's not mentioned whether or not mr. deville allocuted.

    if louisiana had an honest, respectable legislature -- instead of freaks, perverts and criminals themselves, they would immediately move to convene the house judiciary committee in joint session with the senate committees on the judiciary and investigate both of these cases and get to the bottom of what is wrong with our lousy louisiana judicial system and fix it.

    "amazing betrayal" civil rights photographer ernest c. withers was an fbi informant

    ATLANTA — That photo of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. riding one of the first desegregated buses in Montgomery, Ala.? He took it.

    The well-known image of black sanitation workers carrying “I Am a Man” signs in Memphis? His.

    He was the only photojournalist to document the entire trial in the murder of Emmett Till, and he was there in Room 306 of the Lorraine Hotel, Dr. King’s room, on the night he was assassinated.

    WOE UNTO YOU LAWYERS
    Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

    And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

    Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

    Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

    Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

    That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

    From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

    Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. ~ jesus christ at saint luke chapter eleven

    michael springman, chief of the visa section at u.s. general consulate, jeddah, saudia arabia, 1987 - 1989 says "during my period there, i was involved in what turned out to be a visa for terrorists program, with people coming to the consulate recruited by the central intelligence agency and its asset usama bin laden .... i believe that the american government was working with various arab and muslim organizations -- whether it was al qaeda or whether it was people that became al qaeda, to be trained, to be armed and to be sent to the balkans to over throw slobodan milosevic and anybody allied with him."

    that office in jeddah issued many of the visas that were used by the hijackers to enter the united states. marina montesano, university of genoa, author of "american mystery."

"i'm not a conspiracy theorist. i'am a parent looking for the murderer of my son and you have to be a moron to think that nineteen arabs did it." ...
