FEB 19 Columnist Clancy DuBos takes a look at the "do as I say, not as I do" method of budget cuts we're seeing from Bobby Jindal. State departments are facing deep cuts of millions from their budgets, and state universities are facing even worse, but all Bobby can come up with is $10K out of his budget. That's mighty white of him, ain't it?

FEB 19 Blogger Robert Mann says we should be watching the implementation of same-sex marriage over in Alabama, so that we know what to do (or not do, as the case may be) when legalized marriage comes to Louisiana.

BROWN TO JINDAL: DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE

FEB 19 This post on the Red Shtick takes a look at the recent Iowa poll which checked in on likely voters' views of the potential presidential candidates. Bobby Jindal is beating Donald "Captain Hairdo" Trump, but he's trailing "uncommitted," "not sure" and everybody else, including several guys who aren't even running.
Thursday's Blogs from the Bog!
Bobby Jindal's cutting his budget - but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the cuts other state departments are staring down. Also today, Jim Brown has some words for the guv, and Girouard does it again.
