  • Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties

    Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties The Louisiana Secretary of State carefully records the political party voters choose when they register to vote, which is how Louisiana's voter roll came to include 217 political parties, 86 which have only one member.  Included in that list is the Bull Moose Party, with its five members, 12 Jedis, 20  members of the Banana Party, one Monarchist, 16 Whigs, two Cajuns and a list of equally amusing party choices.  Read Gannett's Mike Hasten's hilarious account of those who list their party registration as "other" at the link below.

Advocate Editorial Hits Jindal on Adoption Message --

The Baton Rouge Advocate hit Governor Bobby Jindal in an editorial today, for wasting taxpayer money to make his anti-gay stance clear.  In a case in which his administration refused to issue a birth certificate with both parents names to a Shreveport baby adopted by a gay couple from San Diego, Jindal's position was first overturned by a federal court and now shamed by the Capital City's daily newspaper.  "The real genesis of this waste of taxpayer money is found in the Jindal-directed Department of Health and Hospitals...", the paper writes.  The Advocate charged that the department failed to consider the interests of the child to make the political statement.  "The only basis for the state's policy:  we don't like gay people," the editorial concluded.
