sometimes keeping a blog is great. for instance, occasionally we can get a pretty good idea of what kind of stories kalb and the town talk are working on because of the way they arrive here usually via google.
then, there are other times, like late thursday night when we noticed a couple of local googlers searching "jimmy chevalier died."
we only met mr. chevalier once, some years back. he helped us out with something when he didnt have to and we always remembered him and was appreciative of him for that. mr. chevalier would have been our choice for alexandria city marshall. although, it wasnt until just a few days ago, when we viewed the cenla light's 2008 election guide that we realized that the city marshall candidate was the same jimmy chevalier
if mr. chevalier was your family member or friend we are very sorry for your loss.

Worried that welfare costs are rising as the number of taxpayers declines, state Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, said Tuesday he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied.
"We're on a train headed to the future and there's a bridge out," LaBruzzo said of what he suspects are dangerous demographic trends. "And nobody wants to talk about it."
LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue to the government. He said he is gathering statistics now. ~ read more
the idea came to labruzzo after hurricanes katrina and gustav when the state was forced to evacuate, shelter and care for tens of thousands of people. ~ new orleans city business
whether or not governmental encouragement/mandate/paying for, sterilization of human beings is right or wrong is another argument for another day.
the question that no one ever asks is where in the republican party platform is a policy like this even addressed?
for example, the louisiana republican party's 2008 platform at article iv: sanctity of life
#6 "we support all developments in biomedical research and technology that enhance and protect human life. but we oppose any new development that does not treat all human life as a precious gift of god, or that does not treat every individual human life as a locus of unique and irreplaceable dignity no matter how weak, immature, or dependent." click here to download the 2008 louisiana republican party platform. [eight page .pdf]
the 2008 national republican party platform calls for the repeal of the sixteenth amendment, which established the federal income tax. [.pdf page 31] why isnt representative labruzzo and the rest of the republicans as well as everyone else talking about that? think of how much more money everyone would have on hand and could even save some, if there was no federal income tax. caveat: the republicans want to repeal the sixteenth amendment and replace it with an equally egregious national sales tax or even worse value added tax.
another question that no one ever asks is where is the republican party leadership at and why do they never speak out against all these fake republican crackpots, fraudsters and rino's who are authoring/cosponsoring and voting for anti-republican legislation?
is it because of reagan's so called "eleventh commandment?" well guess what, ronnie raygun was not god and just because he said something does not make it so or even necessarily a good idea. in fact, this "thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow republican" garbage actually hampers the republican party.
what a minute you say, what about the greater new orleans republicans who came out and criticized representative labruzzo? well a closer look at gnor's statements shows a pattern by them that is very mysterious, suspicious as well as deceptive.
in a statement dated 5:10 p.m. 24 september 2008 and posted to the dead pelican website representatives of the gnor wrote [excerpts] "this is one of the dumbest ideas i have ever heard of." "...against the republican party plank..." ah, theres mention of the seldom if ever mentioned republican party plank. click here to view the screen grab.
then, apparently what happened was that an even bigger criminal in the republican party read that statement, didnt like it and ordered the "young professionals" at gnor to change it -- because:
a new, much shorter statement dated 9:49 p.m. was suddenly posted without explanation to the dead pelican. in the new statement gone was any mention of a republican party plank. because, we suspect, they cant afford to have people thinking that there is actually a written guide that they are supposed to be relying on now can they?
replacing the plank wording was the much more ambiguous "...representative labruzzo's advocacy for sterilizing women is contrary to the gop..." someone also removed the names of the gnor president j.t. hannan and board president mike bayham as well as their individual comments. click here to view the screen grab.
on thursday 25 september 208 representative labruzzo was interviewed on cnn. we missed that interview. however, cnn replayed excerpts of the interview as well as their viewer reaction to it today, which we were fortunate enough to catch. that video is below:
this is an interesting clip that rachel maddow played on her msnbc show last night [thursday 26 september 2008] concerning alaska governor and 2008 republican vice-presidential candidate sarah palin and a religious service she attended at a church in alaska in october 2005.
its easy to see what the so called african witch-hunter preacher thomas muthee [here is his zionist approved wikipedia entry]. was on about. although, his use of the term "israelite" is incorrect. the term that pastor muthee should have used was khazar or ashkenazi seeing that it is they who are "running the economics of our nations," via their central banks and so forth and who are descendants of the khazar savages who, due to political expediency, converted to and have been masquerading as and impersonating the biblical israelites since the 700s a.d. these khazar's who are originally from khazaria, (located in modern day russia) are in no way related to the biblical israelites. these imposters have however, taken over the true name of the jews.
anyway, you wont see the msm playing this clip over and over ad nauseum like the rev. jeremiah wright clip because it might make people stop and think. what christian or normal thinking person could disagree with the substance of what pastor muthee is saying?
its likely that this clip was played to send a message to gov. palin and the mccain campaign that they had better get (palin} fully in agreement with the policies of the zionists and especially those of zionist israel.
this would appear to be unnecessary in light of gov. palin's recent statements such as 'israel is the 'good guy'' or her statement to israeli president, shimon peres "the only flag at my office is an israeli flag." no alaskan flag? or united states flag in the governor's office? how pathetic is that.
governor palin's rabid zionism has already caused brother nathanael kapner, himself a jew who converted to orthodox christainity, to observe on his real jew news blog that "governor sarah palin is quickly, lamentably, emerging as a resolute and dangerous zionist shill (or dupe) — if not an outright rabid war monger pushing for ww iii." ~ read more.
perhaps, what the zionists really want, is for gov. palin to repudiate pastor muthee in order to show that once again any mention of or connection to "bankers" and "israelites" which will bring to mind "jews" in most peoples minds, will be met with fierce condemnation.
united states senator for alabama, richard shelby says that he had "an interesting meeting with the president and the vice president...and a lot of the leaders in the banking committees of both houses [of congress],
i can tell you, i dont believe we have an agreement, i have voiced my concerns all along...i have a five page, five pages of the leading economists in america, that wrote to me and the leadership saying -- 'the paulson plan is a bad plan, it will not solve problems, it will create more problems;
we're rushing to judgment, that we do have stress in our financial markets -- but this is not the best way, we ought to look at alternatives.'
this is not me, this is economists at harvard, yale, mit, university of chicago, our leading university's, five pages, it ought to tell you something. i brought it up in here [the white house meeting] i'am probably not welcome again."

UPDATE: copy of the aforementioned letter:
To the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate:
As economists, we want to express to Congress our great concern for the plan proposed by Treasury Secretary Paulson to deal with the financial crisis. We are well aware of the difficulty of the current financial situation and we agree with the need for bold action to ensure that the financial system continues to function. We see three fatal pitfalls in the currently proposed plan:
1) Its fairness. The plan is a subsidy to investors at taxpayers’ expense. Investors who took risks to earn profits must also bear the losses. Not every business failure carries systemic risk. The government can ensure a well-functioning financial industry, able to make new loans to creditworthy borrowers, without bailing out particular investors and institutions whose choices proved unwise.
2) Its ambiguity. Neither the mission of the new agency nor its oversight are clear. If taxpayers are to buy illiquid and opaque assets from troubled sellers, the terms, occasions, and methods of such purchases must be crystal clear ahead of time and carefully monitored afterwards.
3) Its long-term effects. If the plan is enacted, its effects will be with us for a generation. For all their recent troubles, America's dynamic and innovative private capital markets have brought the nation unparalleled prosperity. Fundamentally weakening those markets in order to calm short-run disruptions is desperately short-sighted.
For these reasons we ask Congress not to rush, to hold appropriate hearings, and to carefully consider the right course of action, and to wisely determine the future of the financial industry and the U.S. economy for years to come.

cnn's john king speaks with a boulder, montana cattle farmer, who according to mr. king says that when he listens to the president talk he doesnt believe him and who makes a very wise observation. he said "i was born during the days of fdr, fdr said that we have nothing to fear but fear -- well this is exactly the opposite, they are preying on our fears -- 'if we dont bail them out, the rest of you are going to go down the tubes and we'll have another depression' and i dont like the idea of this fear tactics. who knows what its going to do to us? we dont know. they may understand that and thats where fear comes in."
