MAR 18 Here's a post on the Jim Romenesko blog about a story that's almost as dumb as the Mobile Leprechaun. Seems somebody at the Associated Press got Robert Durst, a murder suspect arrested in NOLA this week who has been the subject of stories, books, a movie and a documentary, confused with Fred Durst, the former front man of Limp Bizkit who is also about 30 years younger than the accused murderer. Um -- K. Really?

MAR 18 Although she says neither seems destined to make any political splash next year, Jill Lawrence writes that Bobby Jindal's Louisiana and Martin O'Malley's Maryland are worth examining side by side. On the U.S. News and World Report site, Lawrence is writing that O'Malley's progressive/liberal policies and Jindal's conservative/Norquist policies have had very different outcomes.

MAR 18 Blogger Rod Dreher, who writes more about gay people than most gay people we know, is writing about gay people mad at gay people about a comment regarding gay people in this post.

Seems a Mother Jones reporter was arrested in the country near a private prison up there, with a camera-equipped drone. A day or so later, another Mother Jones reporter quit his job at the prison. In other words: Hmmm.

HAVE NO FEAR, ELBERT GUILLORY IS HERE
MAR 18 Elbert Guillory issued a press release, this post on the Advocate's politics blog tells us, to assure voters that he's alive and kicking. He's worried that we're worried about a report that he doesn't have a war chest for his campaign for lieutenant governor. (Yo, El, we're not. We didn't even notice. But thanks for worrying about us!)
Wednesday's Blogs from the Bog!
Sure, some people are square, we get that. But how do you confuse a 44-year-old rock star with a 71-year-old real estate heir? Also today in La La Land, Dreher is talking about gay people again and a couple of Mother Jones reporters are up in Winn Parish.
