Huey Long broke the power of the aristocrats for a while during the 1930's, and Edwin Edwards fought a holding action for a good while longer during the 1970's (which is why they had to track him down THIRTY YEARS LATER and put his geriatric self in jail, that was revenge, pure and simple), but now they're back, and they're back to the same old sh*t they've always been up to.<br /><br />- Badtux the Former Louisiana PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.com
