Dirty Laundry: Musings of a Former News Man

“News is history shot on the wing. The huntsmen from the Fourth Estate seek to bag only the peacock or the eagle of the swifting day.” - Gene Fowler, American journalist and biographer

Ask yourself Louisiana citizens: Am I a taker? A welfare queen, a drain on society, a tax-sucking 47%er who refuses to take responsibility for my life? Have you ever sought relief for a serious illness but didn’t have the $ to pay for it? If you answered yes, then first of all, shame on you. […]

JindalCare – Don’t Take My Word For It…

May 15, 2013

I’ve been very fortunate when it comes to my little blog and I want to say thanks to everyone who has commented and messaged me.
