    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.

New Orleans Needs Five More Years To Recover Says Landrieu
 Five years after Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans, the city's mayor said Thursday that its recovery will take at least another five years. Katrina and the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico brought the Louisiana coast "to its knees," New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu (D) told those attending a luncheon at the National Press Club. The city's transformation will be slow and dependent on resources, but Landrieu said there will be more immediate transformation in the city's safety, schools and job market.
