We still remember all the comments about Louisiana’s reputation for corruption made after Hurricane Katrina by those who were skeptical about spending federal money for recovery.
Critics wondered why those outside Louisiana should send billions to a state with such a checkered past.
This newspaper takes a back seat to no one in its distaste for corruption, and we readily admit Louisiana has had its problems in this regard. But we’re far from alone when it comes to scandal, as we’ve been reminded lately while following New York’s political scene.
Eliot Spitzer resigned as governor of New York in 2008 amid revelations he had been involved with prostitutes.
His replacement, Gov. David Paterson, recently withdrew from the race for a full term after allegations he used his influence to shape the investigation of a close aide for assault, and that he lied under oath during an ethics investigation.

This new FBI probe called a ‘Civil Rights Investigation’, will abet unjust invasions of privacy, witch-hunting, selective prosecution, patronage for elites and cronies, and augment political agendas. (Note: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was no better off from FBI investigations and surveillance on him.) Alarmingly, neither citizens nor businesses in Louisiana are safe from sham probes that aids coverups, cooking the books. For example, the way the identities of the Canal Street Brothel “Johns” were concealed (no doubt to serve crony purposes or useful for future arm-twisting). Or, like doctored information that prevented federal Judge Thomas Porteous (whose impeachment hearing is now before the U.S. Congress) from a similar fate as the judges, sheriffs, and others who went to jail in the “Operation Wrinkled Robe” scandal. Yet, harbored federal and state courts in New Orleans are more corrupt than Gretna. (Even a federal court affidavit shows that the Clerk of Court steers newly-filed lawsuits to the judge of her choice, rather than randomly allot cases as civil procedure requires.) Irrefutable det …

Canal Street not Canal Side: Now There’s an Irresistible Destination!
March 7, 2010 11:26 AM
BRO Submission By Peter Dow:
Google “Canal Side” and what do you get? Housing developments in Lockport, Irvington, Texas, and Columbia South Carolina. Google “Canal Street” and now what do you find? Vibrant urban streetscapes in New York City, New Orleans, and Manchester New Hampshire. Let’s start by getting the name right.
Remember Ward Fuller, the dynamic head of American Steamship, who years ago proposed that Buffalo revive Canal Street? No, he was not suggesting that we bring back brothels, prostitutes, and seedy saloons. He saw the waterfront as a downtown destination that recaptured the vibrant spirit of yesteryear – a place where Buffalonians could relive their past as an inspiration for the future, and have a great time doing so.

Daniels committed to neither a candidacy, nor a political party during appearances in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette, Shreveport and Delhi last year. She touched lightly on issues, discussing support for a national sales tax and support for troops in the Middle East, while pushing to remove child pornography from the Internet and keep minors from viewing adult material.
She said at the time that she had decided to explore a possible run after a movement was started by fans. The Draft Stormy movement arose after the phone number of incumbent Sen. David Vitter was linked to a Washington prostitution ring in 2007. Daniels was not involved in that scandal. And though the draft movement was seen as an attempt to embarrass Vitter, she said that was not her purpose in exploring a candidacy.

His two sets focused most on his latest album “The Blueprint 3,” but his songs still managed to span his 14-year recording career as he roamed the stage in front of giant screens.
He used a mixture of full songs and smoothly transitioning medleys to hit all his major singles and other crowd-pleasers.
And the 40-year-old rapper, one of the biggest names in modern music, managed to make every bit of it feel personal — even for patrons in the upper decks completely across the arena.
Jay Z kept conversation going with his fans between songs and got them involved with calls for hand-motions, chants and moments of respect for the deceased of the rap world.
Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur and Pimp C were all honored during Jay Z’s two sets and the Jeezy set that divided them without any letdown.

Those who were raised in New Orleans know well the neighborhood called Tulane-Gravier. The only time an outsider ventured into that blight of ram-shackled decadence, was to seek out a drug dealer, pimp, or a quick turnaround after getting lost. Young drivers were well warned for decades of the dangers there, as traveling through even in broad daylight gave evidence of negligence on a grand scale.

My money is on Flanagan’s “resolution” will hinge on his turning state’s evidence, in return for probation. If this happens the people who hired/bankrolled Faux Pimp and the Young Republicans could find themselves in some very deep shit. (As Tommy Chong was told by his neighbor/lawyer, “Plea bargain, Tom, because you can’t beat the feds; they have all the resources.”) I really hope this leads somewhere, although I won’t count on it happening under the leadership of Eric “Place” Holder.
