Jindal faces troubles in his home state

Hey hey hey. Everybody knows that New Orleans is Louisana and the rest of the state is our backyard.

The rest of Louisiana saw New Orleans as another country, where people can go and do crap they can't do anywhere else in the United States. New Orleans is like Tijuana, Mexico. If California teenagers wanted to get a drink and some paid for loving legally, all they had to do was cross the border to Tijuana. I guess that's why New Orleans is the only place in Louisiana and probably outside of Las Vegas and Atlantic City in the United States that has a full bloom land base casino that's not on a Indian reservation. :lol:

Well with that Mississippi and Texas mashed into Shreveport and Lafayette, and MONROE, all rolled into one, that's an identity crisis! :lol:

We are the only ones that know how to keep you mofos in other parts of Louisiana from killing each other. Have you ever seen rednecks and Cajuns go at it? Not only there's a language barrier between the two, it's definitely not a pretty site. :emlaugh:

Gulfport, MS. has a land based casino. I normally stop there and grub when I'm traveling home. It is off of hwy 49 going towards the Gulf. As a matter of fact it is literally across the street from the Gulf of Mexico kind of situated similar to how Harrah's is right near the Mississippi River. I wouldn't say it is as nice as Harrah's though. However, the food is as good and probably better depending on what day of the week it is.

I remember many college bound students from New Orleans felt like their right to passage was to matriculate at ULL in Lafayette. Couldn't quite figure that one out. :lol: :emlaugh: I have been away from Louisiana for a minute so I'm not sure that still goes on. The ULL vs UNO basketball game was "large" at one time.

Katrina made that happen. Before Katrina, the gaming part of the casino used to be over water.

It's still somewhat like that. New Orleans kids had to find a school away from home that they could relate to and ULL was the closest school they could find.

Not sure what made it happen but it's definitely land based and there. Folks in Biloxi/Gulfport always thought they could "burn" being only 45 minutes away from N.O. In some places on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, they really do have a serious Louisiana flavor to their cuisine.

I know one thing, the food is off the chart in both places. :lol: :emlaugh:

Yes it is, but there are places in other parts of Louisiana that have some good food too. The best pies in Louisiana comes from Lea's Pies in Lecompte, LA. They ship pies all over the country during the holidays.

Below is a youtube video of the founder of Lea's Pie on the Johnny Carson Show. I wonder who he was referring to when he said others pronounced it "puckcoin pie". I guess his old azz didn't want to say the N-word on T.V., because he knew he probably would have caught hell from the brothers and sisters in Lecompte, Cheneyville, and Bunkie. They would have been waiting on his old azz once he got back to Lecompte. I'm sure that's why he probably stop serving beer, because once those brothers got drunk, they probably whipped his azz on general principle. :lol: :emlaugh:

That was one funny interview. Kind of reminded me of Justin Wilson. Now that was one funny Cajun.
 



This should bring things back into perspective.

BATON ROUGE -- A Baton Rouge judge has thrown out Gov. Bobby Jindal's revamp of teacher tenure laws as unconstitutional because it was contained in legislation with too many other items.

Judge Michael Caldwell previously had thrown out parts of the education law that limited the authority of local school boards. But he had upheld the provision that made it harder for teachers to reach the job protection status of tenure.
