Things have really gone down hill since Katrina. New Orleans was where you went if you were Southern and didn’t fit in at home. It was the focal point of all of the South’s creative energy, because that was where you could be whoever you really were.

So much has been lost. Now Louisiana struggles to stay ahead of Mississippi, and is losing, even as Mississippi slips further behind because of its flawed response to Katrina.

If it wasn't for Lousiana's crazy open primary system, Piyush would have never won a primary in Louisiana, at least not as a Republican. Even with Mike Foster appointing him as his duly appointed successor, even with all of Piyush's attempts to turn himself into an honorary redneck like calling himself "Bobby" and getting regularly photographed in duck hunting gear with a brace of ducks, the old guard Republicans (of whom David Duke is not unusual except in his willingness to actually verbalize what they all believe) would have taken one look at Piyush and said.... "Nah." Sad to say, Piyush was elected by Democrats. Piyush seems to have forgotten that though, based on his attempts to raise his profile amongst national Republicans while not running for President. Oh well, the youngster will learn. In the meantime, poor Louisiana. But what else is new there? - Badtux the Former Louisiana Penguin Badtux´s last blog post..WTF is up with this weather?

The crown of misrule, which is derived from the jester’s horns. Clowns have long ruled many Southern states, but we call them Republicans.

That’s a Mardi Gras hat in the proper colors and shows what a real Louisianan he is.

Kryten, he has been systematically dumbing down since he started running for office. They’ll accept honest, they won’t like it, but they’ll accept it. What they won’t accept is intelligence. You can be clever, but must never appear to be intelligent, or they just won’t vote for you in a Republican primary in the South.

Good hat! 😀

…but… It might make him look… you know… more intelligent than he apparently is? And it might upset the real US Jesters, like Stewart or Colbert. 🙂

Maybe one of those really silly clown hats I used to see at the Circus when I was a lad might be more appropriate. Strangely… they give kids nightmares you know. 😉

That’s it! That’s the hat that will put him over the top.

He needs a flashier hat than that, maybe something with wings or horns. In that hat he would look normal. Of course, if he used Mardi Gras colors it would help.
