Well, I hope ya’ll are doing well after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. We continue to recover after Gustav and Ike. The last household of my immediate family got power back yesterday. There was no significant damage to any of their houses. Phew.

After all that excitement, it is hard to get focused back on Louisiana politics, but we have an election coming up in just seven days now. There are some storm delays in the election cycle due to the Hurricanes.

The at bat is in 7 days. These elections were delayed from Sept 6 due to the hurricanes. So who is running and what do we know about them?

Lets take a first swing at listing who is running. Please let us know more about these candidates.

The media is in a tizzy over all things ‘Palin’.

Goodness gracious, they need to come up for air.

One of their complaints is that she strong armed the firing of her former sister-in-law’s husband, a state trooper. Now that is a very serious allegation.

Apparently, the trooper in question needed to be fired. He used his taser on his nephew - in a training capacity. That is completely inappropriate conduct.

Here is the disciplinary letter that the Alaska State Troopers in March 1, 2006.

The Senator in charge of the trooper gate investigation is Senator Hollis French (D). Here he is in a picture attending an Obama ‘08 rally! So he clearly is NOT impartial and should be replaced.

Apparently, Rep John Coghill (R) asked the Alaska Legislative Council to remove him from the probe. This request was denied by the head of the legislative council, Senator Kim Elton (D). Senator Elton also attended the same rally for Obama. So he is also clearly not impartial.

Apparently these democrats have scheduled to release their report in late October just 4 days before the election. Early enough to get maximum exposure and effect on the election, but with insufficient time for any lies, slander or misrepresentations to be cleared up.

So the actual scandal here is ‘Dirtgate’. It is certain corrupt legislators and their friends in the media trying to influence an election through the misrepresentation of facts.

Give it a rest already.

This slanderous, scandalous behavior by the media needs to stop.

Sigh, same song second verse. Could get better.

Stay safe.

Stay safe everyone.
