Two items we could not let go unquoted

  • James Gill on PBJ's Holy Helicopter adventures:
    Although Jindal is a Catholic, he has an ecumenical streak and takes Protestant services in stride. The Advocate viewed a video of Jindal among the Baptists of north Louisiana declaring that it would be "arrogant to do anything but get on my knees and worship Him."

    His humility does not come cheap for the taxpayer. The helicopter runs $1,200 an hour, meaning that just the 14 trips documented by the Advocate cost $45,000, and that does not include the salaries of the aides and cops who are obliged to spend Sundays in such burgs as Coushatta, Robeline and Rayville. Perhaps these guys are all pious too, but they'd still need the patience of Job.


  • Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand on the subject of teenagers dancing atop the hoods of JP squad cars.
    "We're looking for any information relative to these three knuckleheads and the shenanigans that they (play) on that automobile,"


    Unfortunately for us, the video of the the "knuckleheads" has been removed from Youtube.

    BTW, what is up with JPSO cruisers suddenly becoming the hot new dance venues in town? Knuckleheads are doing it, strippers are getting into the act. I call shenanigans!
