BROWN: BOBBY IS, ONCE AGAIN, FULL OF IT
MAR 23 Jim Brown blogs about Bobby Jindal's claim that he's traveled Louisiana more than previous governors in this post. Brown said he made some calls and can't find too many people who've experienced a "Jindal sighting" in Louisiana. Edwards, Treen, Foster and McKeithen all traveled within the borders a lot more often than Bobby has, Brown says. But listen - if a hurricane hits, you'll see him -- just as soon as those national TV cameras start rolling.

MANN: TIME FOR JINDAL TO HANG IT UP
MAR 23 In this post, blogger Robert Mann makes the argument for Bobby Jindal to just put himself out of our misery. He argues that it would/could benefit Jindal's delusional Presidential campaign, but it also would give Louisiana a chance at surviving the damage he's already done. Maybe if Mann could figure out a way that a resignation would help the Koch brothers or Grover Norquist it might actually happen.

MAR 23 Columnist Clancy DuBos has some advice for the legislators who are hoping to fix the budget mess we're in: listen to blogger CB Forgotston. CB has some good advice, he says, but at the same time Clancy predicts that the legislature won't have the intestinal fortitude to accomplish it.

MAR 23 Columnist Stephanie Grace takes a look at the recent articles highlighting the power Grover Norquist has in Louisiana. It prompted a tweet from the man this week that some might call humorous and others might call arrogant in the extreme. In any event, Grace says you can't blame Norquist; he's only got the power our governor has simply given him.

MENTALLY ILL MAN ATTACKS OFFICERS AT NOLA AIRPORT
MAR 23 You never know what you will see at the New Orleans airport, but the Friday night incident was off the charts. A man described by police as mentally ill sprayed two security agents with wasp spray and cut another with a machete. He also had explosives, this story on WVUE says. Sheriff's deputies shot him, and he refused any medical care at the hospital, the story reports. The man died, but all the law enforcement officers will recover.

IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME, YOU'RE GREEDY OR STUPID
MAR 23 Here's an interesting column in the Picayune by Erick Erickson. (His mama named him that?) In it, Mr. Erickson opines that Bobby Jindal is a fantastic, reform-minded governor. If you don't agree with that, you're either someone who saw your "entitlements" disappear or there's just something wrong with you, apparently. The column is bizarre, but if you're looking for entertainment, skip to the comments. They're hilarious.
Monday's Blogs from the Bog!
Jim Brown says Bobby's pants are on fire. Again. Also today in La La Land, Clancy advises our solons to listen to CB and Mann advises our governor to resign. Happy Monday!
