Let’s talk politics
The politicians in Louisiana are:Confession time: I love politics - love love love. But, having moved around so much as a military wife - found local politics almost impossible to keep up with. Instead, I always try and stay up with the news, world politics etc....I do vote locally - but often times leave things blank and/or vote straight tickets. I am registered to vote in Louisiana and feel a little throw-up in my mouth when I think about having to vote for anyone in this state. BTW - there is a Brangelina watch on NOLA.com - why not a Nagin or political figure watch? It would be a great school project for a 3rd grade class - put pins on all the places outside of Louisiana where our politicians are! BTW - if I thought I could win - I would run for something - anything! Heck, anything is better - I'd be a hero and so would anybody "NEW."

Greta! So young, yet so cynical! Of course politicians in Louisiana deserve most of the caustic remarks, but there are a few outstanding folks that we are lucky to have. One of them is Mert Smiley, who represents the area where I live, and is a member of my Rotary Club. He is an honest straight shooter, and he says what feels, even though he sometimes stands alone. We need to elect more folks like Mert (and maybe like you!) who not only care about Louisiana, but aren’t afraid to take the right stand.
So my advice is to bash the elected folks who deserve it, and support those who deserve to be supported.
Good luck with this blog, and your future here!

Gasper – Me cynical? no just dripping with sarcasm! I know there are good folks out there and honest and politician can go in the same sentence (on rare occasions). But don’t you think it might be better to start fresh and get rid of the “ole-boys” network? At least in NOLA??? Big hooah to Mr. Smiley
