DO WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE INDIANA LAWS?
APR1 This post on the Picayune takes a look at Louisiana's "religious freedom" law which apparently allows people to be rude and hateful in Jesus' name. Although it is not as far-reaching as Indiana's law, it could be construed as similar, and could cost Louisiana as Indiana's law is costing Indiana. Oh, and btw: #boycottindiana

WITNESS TAMPERING IN THE CNSI CIVIL CASE?

APR 1 A car was destroyed by a Molotov cocktail in Uptown New Orleans last week, WWL reports in this post. Witnesses saw some "college-age" boys around the car right before the fire, so the owner thinks it's a university thing. Boys will be boys, but weren't we just reading about a beheaded goat found near some Tulane frat houses? What's going on down there?
Wednesday's Blogs from the Bog!
Do we have one of those Indiana hate laws? Also today, RHT says Bobby Jindal's no tax virgin and charters are manipulating student selection - no kidding!
