Is Jindal Selling Our Children?

The short answer is Yes. Jindal has spent most of his life trying to dismantle Public Health, Public Schools, and Public Jobs. So the latest news about his wife's Foundation scheme comes as no surprise. The Daily Kingfish wrote a nice short piece about it. Jindal is very creative in getting money out of corporations like Marathon Oil, AT&T and Northrop Grumman.

Of course, donating money to Supriya Jindal Fund for Louisiana's Children sounds good, but AT&T donated a quarter million and got the right to sell cable television services without having to negotiate with each Parish.

Marathon Oil was approved to increase production after donating the same amount to the fund.
Yet Jindal's press secretary said "It is a completely nonpolitical organization created by the First Lady, who as an engineer and the mother of three children, has a passion for helping our young people learn science and math."

Oh, yeah, no quid pro quo, just coincidence.

Huey Long

Something you need to remember: Huey Long, a man who was not a progressive, not a liberal, he actually did good stuff for Louisiana. Was he corrupt? Sure, but balance his corruption with what he did for the state, think highways, Charity Hospital, LSU; you have to give the man his due, and compare him to Jindal, Huckabee and that stupid man in Mississippi.
I am not for corruption, I would like to see it gone, but Huey did more for Louisiana, more than any other politician in our time.
