STILL POLLING AT 1 PERCENT

JUL 9 Bobby Jindal better start spending some money if he wants to break that big 2 percent barrier. This post on Breibart takes a look at a recent poll up in North Carolina - which Donald Trump is leading (yikes). Bobby's bringing up the rear again with 1 percent, but at least he's beating Rick Santorum, John Kasich, George Pataki and the Easter Bunny.

RIEGEL: TIME TO GET REAL ABOUT BR'S SHORTCOMINGS

JUL 9 This post on the Baton Rouge Business Report by Stephanie Riegel is pretty stunning in its honesty - because she's talking frankly about why Baton Rouge isn't attractive to big bidness, and that's not something that usually gets talked about in BR. The problems start with the airport, but include a lack of talent - which arises from a lack of diversity. (No kidding, Steph. Do the words "St. George" mean anything to you?)

JINDAL'S GREATEST HITS

JUL 9 This post on a Seattle political blog takes a look at Bobby Jindal's top pandering quotes which might appeal to the ultra right religious wingnuts that he (apparently) thinks are his ticket to the White House. (One might say that his best chance at a ticket to the White House would be the kind anyone can get for the tour, but we digress.) Bring the Pepto, because all at once it's kind of nauseating.

HOW DO WE GET THIS HERE??

JUL 9 NOLA Defender posts this tantalizing bit about a new alcohol delivery service in the city. Drizzly delivers beer, wine and liquor - as well as necessities like ice and limes - via an app. Hello? Come on, entrepreneurs! Get it together and get one of these here in Laffy!

BROWN ON TRUMP, IMMIGRATION AND MISS USA

JUL 9 Jim Brown is blogging about Donald Trump and his recent insertion of his (no doubt) fancy Italian leather shoe into his big ole white trash mouth. Regardless of his remarks, at least Trump's talking about immigration, Brown says. The rest of the (extremely large) GOP field just wishes that issue would go away, he says.

JINDAL MAKES POLITICO'S LIST OF CERTAIN LOSERS

JUL 9 Politico posts this story about the long list of Presidential candidates who don't have a sno-cone's chance in hell. And yes, Bobby Jindal made the list - but his imminent failure didn't even rate its own sentence. Dang.
