- IF YOU SEE JURASSIC WORLD, LOOK CLOSELY
  
  JUN 15 This post on NOLA Defender tells how the feature film Jurassic World used the NOLA Six Flags site, a ghost town attracting nothing but out-of-town hipsters since Katrina, to create an amusement park in the movie.
- MANN: HISTORY WILL BE RUTHLESS TO JINDAL
  
  JUN 15 Blogger Bob Mann makes his prediction here about how history will evaluate and record the legacy (such as it is) of Governor Bobby Jindal. History won't be kind, he predicts, but among all of the Jindal's miserable failures as the "leader" of Louisiana, Mann says his complete ineptitude in fiscal matters will be the most egregious.
- FISCAL TIMES: JINDAL'S EMBARRASSING BUDGET TRICKS
  
  JUN 15 The FIscal Times details the fiscal side of the ridiculous results of the session that ended last week. In particular, the publication is reviewing the Legislature's attempt at sleight of hand (HA) in passing the so-called SAVE plan.
- BROWN ON THE MINJAREZ DEATH
  
  JUN 15 Jim Brown is blogging about demonstrations and racial strife and police brutality here. Since protestors only seem to come out when black people are killed by police - and not when black people are killed by black people - do they truly believe that rallying cry that "black lives matter"? And if we're just worried about police brutality, why no outcry over Minjarez's death? Interesting questions, all.
- MALICE, DECEIT AND THE ANTI-TAX AXIS
  
  JUN 15 Here's an interesting guest post from a SLU prof on Louisiana Voice. It's an analysis of the common call in the Legislature to cut down on the number of colleges and universities - but what's really interesting is that Tom Aswell prefaces the guest post by saying he's cutting down on his usual posts so he can finish his book on Bobby Jindal. THAT will be an interesting read.
- BENSON: KIDS' BETRAYAL 'FOR THE BIRDS'
  
  JUN 15 Fox Sports gives a round up of the trial, over in Texas, of Tom Bensons' family'sattempt to wrest control of his empire from him. His daughter and grandkids sued when he took their control away and gave it to his wife. They claimed he is nuts. Benson says he knows how it will come out - he could tell by looking at the judge.
