• THIRD TIME A CHARM FOR LANDRIEU?

  New Orleans professional contract awards criticized, debated
  
  Meanwhile, those defending the status quo -- the City Charter, which can be changed only through a citywide vote, gives the mayor sole authority to award professional-service deals -- generally have been African-Americans averse to changing a system that recently [...]

  I've watched this story about 7 times now and I'm still curious if Dr. Vera Triplet actually "agreed" with anything Ray Nagin said:
  
  
  
  The dangling Nagin quote was, "I just think having...the number of candidates in the race...is gonna split the vote...whether you're talking white, black, hispanic,'" [...]

  Having said that, there [...]

• Mary Landrieu the useful idiot

  —The Old River Road

  Mary Landrieu is voting yes:

  My vote today to move forward on this important debate should in no way be construed by the supporters of this current framework as an indication of how I might vote as this debate comes to an end. It is a vote to move forward.
