Standing offer still stands

I'm still happy to advise anyone looking to run against Steve Scalise next year.  As an example, here is an idea. Just keep asking him why he hates LSU so much.
The U.S. Senate is expected to sign off on the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" as early as Tuesday evening, following a near party-line vote in the House earlier in the day. Due to a procedural issue raised when it reached the Senate, the legislation will likely need one more vote in the House slated for Wednesday morning, before it's sent to President Donald Trump for his signature.

Tucked inside the bill is language that would eliminate a deduction for college sports fans who donate to their schools as part of priority systems tied to season ticket sales.

LSU officials say that potentially as mch as $50 million for the university's heralded athletic programs could be lost through the change.

"It could be disastrous — for not just us, but every athletic department in the country," LSU athletic director Joe Alleva recently told The Advocate.

Louisiana Reps. Steve Scalise, Garret Graves, Mike Johnson, Ralph Abraham and Clay Higgins, all Republicans, voted in favor of the legislation. Cedric Richmond, the lone Democrat in the Louisiana delegation, voted against it.
This and many other fantastic winning ideas are available to any candidate willing to give me one million dollars.
