But, then, there is LOUISIANA Politics! A state where the job of County Tax Auditor was a hereditary office until just recently. Where every candidate has a NUMBER as his official ballot designation (on the assumption that lots of illiterates vote and this is easier for them) followed by a nickname like "Skeeter" or "Coonass".

An absolutely true story that almost made me homesick was when, two or three years ago, an African American civil rights attourney ran for Attorney General and went to court for the right to use "Super N!##er" as his nome de chad abuse since the Cajuns routinely use "perjorative" and "ethnic" names as theirs. I think his name was something like Andrew Jackson or something as well, too funny!

And...don't forget...they manage to re-define Chickens as not being animals for purposes of animal cruelty laws in order to preserve the sacred Gentleman's sport of Cockfighting!

Les bonnes tons roulet, Roberto
