Public relations manipulation. Last week I did a little random sampling of cable TV news shows as research into the biggest waterfowl-related scandal since Daffy and Donald were photographed topless in the August ’78 Outdoor Magazine, Duckgate, the Duck Dynasty/GQ story that only deaf/mute under-rock dwellers and Himalayan sherpas are unaware of at this point.

Attention singles, I know Valentine’s Day is a tough day but take heart, you could be dating Oscar Pistorius. This morning President Obama came out firmly against the drinking of Drano. Tea Party folks, I think you know what needs to be done now. FOX News hires Herman Cain cause screw Michael Steele. Herman Cain […]
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. Some of my blogs about JindalCare have even been reposted on south Louisiana websites and across the Twitterverse, as a result I was contacted by someone who works at the […]
I attended a public meeting concerning the fate of EA Conway Hospital last night. My own self interest led me to the Emily P Robinson recreation center in southern Monroe. You see, EA Conway is my doctor’s office, and the doctor’s office for thousands of people just like me across northeast Louisiana, we’re the working […]

When I decided to catch up on Duck Dynasty I wanted to work my way backward, watch the 2nd season later and stay current (blog) on the 3rd as it aired. So I’ve missed some stuff and for that I apologize. Several personal messages and Facebook comments have corrected me regarding things revealed in season […]
Jase Roberston and I have something in common. Well, besides the fact that we’re both northeast Louisiana natives with unkempt facial hair. Neither of us wear wedding rings. Jase because he doesn’t like rings, me because I’m broke. My wife and I will celebrate 6 years of wedded bliss this October but we’re still waiting […]
Modern-day tall tales are called ‘Urban Legends’ but despite that moniker modern folklore often originates far from urban areas. Such is the case with Louisiana black panthers. Country folks from Mansfield to Mandeville swear black panthers roam our woods while Louisiana wildlife experts say there are no, none, zero, zip, zilch – black panthers in […]
More in my quest to catch up on mega-hit Duck Dynasty, the reality show that stars a redneck family from my hometown: Truck Commander The episode kicks off with Willie & Korie Robertson facing a classic dilemma, teenage kids and cars. Their son John Luke (did they name that kid after Captain Picard?) has brought […]
The Duck Dynasty gang wants a raise… http://goo.gl/1BmwT And they’ve earned it. According to the Hollywood Reporter, in the 18-49 demographic, THE age group advertisers crave like a vampire lusts after blood, Duck Dynasty is second only to The Walking Dead on all of cable and tops all broadcast offerings in its Wednesday time slot.
