RED SHTICK PUBLISHER TANGLES WITH CB!
APR 8 Not since the Sharks and Jets have we seen such a conflict as the Twitter war between CB Forgotston and, possibly, no one last week. Jeremy White, publisher of Red Shtick, made a comment about CB telling Twitter to "get off his lawn." CB wanted to know if that was all there is, and White's failure to respond with sufficient speed got under CB's skin. After that, it gets weird.

VITTER'S PLAN: STOP BAD STUFF. SORT OF.
APR 8 This post on WWL reveals some details from David Vitter's plan for Louisiana. No, there's nothing in here about diaper-changing stations or converting all state vehicles to Ford Escorts. But there's not really a lot of detail either: he'll call a special session to deal with the budget crisis. (And?) And, he'll listen more to Louisianians. Oh, ah. Cool.

ZOMBIE: AND YOU THOUGHT OUR POLITICIANS WERE CROOKED
APR 8 Blogger American Zombie posts some stinky gossip here about some shenanigans related to the Bayou Corne settlement. You think our politicians are crooked? That's nothing compared to what's going on in the courts, Zombie opines.

NEANDERTHAL PRINCIPAL GETS CALL FROM DOJ
APR 8 The Louisiana high school principal who told a gay student she can't wear a tuxedo because "girls wear dresses and boys wear tuxedos" (ever heard of Janelle Monae, asshat?) has attracted the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice, this post on the New Civil Rights Movement site tells us. Hey, maybe they can get him a calendar, so he can see what year it is.

NEW POLL: ANTI-GAY MARRIAGE SENTIMENT SHRINKING
APR 8 Here's some interesting news: the latest data released in the LSU study of Louisiana opinion is looking at social issues. Two major issues are showing growing support: gay marriage and marijuana legalization. As usual, the younger folks (18 to 29) are more in favor of both things - which tells you what things might look like in the future.

BOOKS? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN BOOKS
APR 8 The Advocate's Lanny Keller waxes poetic here on those in Baton Rouge (and they are legion) who believe that enough money has been spent on the libraries. (After all, you got the Duck Dynasty books and a couple Ayn Rand epistles and what else you need? As long as there's a Bible that nobody reads!) Lanny is opposed to this position, and we must say that perhaps the last thing Baton Rouge wants to cut is money for books. We mean that in the nicest possible way. Or, maybe not.
Wednesday's Blogs from the Bog!
It's a rumble! The Red Shtick and CB throw down! Well, sort of. Also today in La La Land, Vitter's going to do all the things when he's governor, and the DOJ gets involved in that stupid "girls can't wear pants to prom" thing.
