....Five and one quarter, Five and one half ...
There have been many times where I have pondered shutting down this blog. Each time I have asked friends about doing so they have asked me not to do so, "it has merit" is the usual response. I have watched, ney ... allowed ... personal friends to be maligned by bloggers on this site. I know the intricities of the truth, while others presume to know. I find it disappointing that untruths are posted here. It is unfortunately the nature of the beast. My grandfather would tell me time and again ... "it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are stupid than open it and prove it". What a wise man my grandfather was ....

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 945 Newer› Newest»I think we are confusing two different and unrelated facts:
1) Aymond is dispicable:
2) Aymond was right about the water district.
We have been so committed to #1 that we are unwilling to consider #2. Right is right and corruption is corruption. And dispicable is dispicable.
So Aymond was right. It gets a little old after awhile. He is useing this blog to go on and on and on in his harrassment of the waterworks. It has become a mental thing with it. Accept the fact you have been fired, deal with it and get on with your life before the hate consumes you
And, I might add, it doesn't seem as though his crusade is causing anyone but himself any pain. All I have seen so far is a slap on the wrist as far as those that got caught doing unethical things.
So Aymond you won. There, you happy. Ain't nobody going to jail ain't nobody gonna pay a fine, the mayor has his water and the sun shall continue to set over the little town with the world reknowned trash cans "keep Ball(s) clean"
Who is the Alexandria medical dude that is booping the Rep. Princess?
We have gone on and on about illegal contracts with the City and lawyers, Rodney Alexander's shennanigans, unethical deal with the City and so forth. I think all corruption should be exposed in this state, no matter where it is located. So carry on Aymond and all others, in exposing corruption.
Who are the Alexandria Medical Dude and the Rep Princess? What is that about?
Of course, the positive reinforcement to Aymond is always from Aymond but it is my hope that he will not feel the need to drag this in front of us endlessly and daily like he has in the past. He has an "I told you so" coming and he hs collected so maybe he will go away. Don't know how to solve the "dispicabe" problem. Sorry.
From We Saw That
24 October 2006
is the town talk promoting prostitution?
Ya know, We Saw That, always had all the markings of a bicycle seat sniffer and he confirmed by suspician by passing judgment on a Town Talk advertiser that he knows a lot about but has never patronized. I think We Saw That might hang near schoolyards.
ha ha nice one.
Lamar has an interesting post that exemplifies the reason for my rantings about he current council and administration prior to the elections just in case anyone thought I was off my rocker. Of course there are more shenanigans than the indiscretions in the report, but at least that much is official as contained in the Legislative audit report.
Alexander had a choice to remain loyal to his party, his country and/or his constituents. I think the party is not important, although I find it interesting many more democrats are changing parties, especially in Louisiana. Why do you think that is? I think the national Democratic party has become a totally collectivist, "govt (we) know best what is best for you" entity and many people are afraid of that trend. Republicans at least give lip service to the U.S. as a republic which has as its purpose protecting individual rights. Many in Alex and La. go with the individual rather than the party. That is why Roy (D.) is going to trounce Brewer (R.) Jindal is going to trounce Blanco only because he is perceived to be intelligent, honest and limited gov't inclined. I watch the knee jerk response by yellow dog Democrats and true blue Republicans and feel like I'm at a high school pep rally. Both are just pawns for the big boys in each party who are enjoying the power and money it brings them. The joke"s on the poor drones who just don't get it.
You idiots---the the State Representative who is a woman is not necessarily a Republican!!!! You are such MCP's. You obviously can't find your ass in a hole in the ground! You do not deserve to hear from people with inside info-- f*** heads. Go blow yourselves!
I'll sleep well after the last few posts.
You are such MCP's. You obviously can't find your ass in a hole in the ground! You do not deserve to hear from people with inside info-- f*** heads. Go blow yourselves!
And yet another intelligent argument from another, no doubt, scholar from the hills.
An excellent TV spot Jacques. Full of plans for the future instead of Delores' Charlie Brown "why's everybody picking on me" ad.
Note: Acronym Finder has 95 definitions for mcp. http://www.acronymattic.com/results.aspx?q=mcp.
So which of these MCP's were you referring to us as Anon? Can MCP's be associated with any particular political party?
Well I see from Tommy Wahlder's new TV commercial that he is out to corner the old black Mississippi Delta Blues artists personal injury victims market. Rap or Heavy Metal fans need to seek other legal respresentation. Course all of the rest could always get the Kaplan committment.
We Saw That for "DA: Dumb ASS!
Right on, We Saw That! you obviously have the time, the means & the wherewithal to research your information. Unlike most of these drones depending on Fox News propaganda. Keep up the good work!
MCP? Whoa, that’s definitely a blast from the past. Fast forward: MCP=misogynist.
In light of local politics, this may seem a non sequitur, but it isn’t. The last line of the article says it all.
To Anon. October 24, 3:22 p.m.
You asked why the city settled with the 3 former employees. Same reason they were ousted. Alban Provosty's legal opinion was that they had to go. Alban's legal counsel later was that the city should settle for what he called "peanuts" and put the matter to rest. He also demanded that the administration never discuss details of the case with the media. It was his show. His and Jock Scott, of course, who represented the 3.
I was in a meeting yesterday with a group of local businesswomen. The discussion turned to the Brewer rape ad and the mayor's race. EVERY woman, white and black, said the ad offends them. A couple of them said they had been strong supporters of Brewer at the beginning. But they said that it's not just the ad, it's the press conference, the rants against the current administration, the flip flopping explanations and other behavior, etc. that have convinced them that Brewer lacks the good judgement needed to be mayor. ALL of the other ladies in the group agreed. A few commented that they would be concerned that Mr. Provosty would be running the city if she were elected. They also commented that she would not be able to handle the council. Several made the statement, "Who's advising her? They're giving her very bad advice." Others asked how she would be able to get a job in this town after this? It was a very eye opening and sad conversation. IMHO, there is a small group around Brewer insulating her from the truth. Nov. 7 will be painful for her and her camp.
I hear the same thing and it seems logical but I find it hard to believe that Brewer would embrace such a huge mistake in strategy. She, for whatever reason, is resting her whole campaign on that Ad.
Notice that neither side has mailouts or other contact activities. KRAZIE
Does anyone else think the timing of the Mayor's request for an audit is strange? I don't even begin to know how the city government works, but it just seems to me that if he were supporting Brewer, who is a part of the administration, he would have waited until after the election.
The audit was requested months and months ago when quesionable activities were discovered. These things take time once the Leg. Auditor's office is involved. It was not looked at or "timed" to hit at any particular time, such as election time. There's no control over when the findings are released. The audit was ordered by the mayor because it was needed and it was the right thing to do, IMHO. It has nothing to do with Brewer--other than she was at the city during the time the stuff was going on.
Say what you will, but IMHO, the system worked. The mayor and administration discovered irregularities, dealt with the allegedly responsible city employees, then reported to the AG's office and called for an audit by the Legislative Auditor. It may not be pretty, but IMHO, it was the right thing to do. Also, IMHO, it was fine for the mayor to keep quiet until the audit report came out. The media and the public can read it and understand it from an official, impartial finding.
I think that this request was made months ago. Nobody could have anticipated her attack upon and estrangement from Randolph in this runnoff, particularly with the Provosty/Lawson factor trying to hold the gang together. This article does point out that while she does have experience in managing city matters, the experience reeks of incompetence, self-dealing, favoritism, and corruption. She should be hiring one of them criminal trial lawyers about now.
This also serves to show that Albin is quick to find misconduct if it gets rid of his enemies.
Lawson is not in cahoots with Provosty anymore. You guys are funny. Try to keep up with the current alliances. "Politics makes strange bedfellows."
Home sick today. Yesterday, at work I heard Mr. Provosty is no longer special counsel to the mayor. But I don't know if that's true or not. Have ya'll heard anything?
Lawson suffers from wandering cahoots. Whoever serves his purpose at the moment is his pal. Provosty loaded personal and firm money on Myron for the primary. That's got to tell you something.
Coemployee - guess at to scenarios:
1. Provosty tried to finally get rid of Kelvin and Bridgett and council cut him loose; or
2. He is displaying more of his famous loyalty and deserting a sinking ship.
Anonymous 8:46 you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Delores Brewer had no control whatsoever over any dealings with bids etc. for subdivisions and utilities. Nice try though. You are so obvious with your attemp to dump all of this on DB. And, by the way, I've been doing some calling and most of the people I've called are still voting for DB. This includes men and women.
You didn't call me !!
ANON 11:27 You are wrong about DB. She was the capital works coordinator and she did have say over subdivisions. Also don't thibk that she had no input on things Ned did. They were coworkers and confidents/best friends. You're out of the loop..
As capital projects director she would not have had a say in subdivision projects. BUT she would have had a say in capital projects or developments - such as major city projects like the incubator, the new customer service center, the Coughlin Saunders building. Streets and drainage, I do believe fall under engineering and PLANNING. So, even though Darrell has tried to say he did nothing wrong and it's all the utility department's fault, he can't escape the fact that the bayou crossing and drainage were his domain. Natural gas projects and lift stations to support sewer projects were Sonny's.
The council was more concerned about meetings Harold and Sonny had with Cleco regarding the attempt to have an audit rather than a lawsuit and supposedly revealing the City's strategy than they were the development agreements.
The administration discovered the development agreement problems and got and AG opinion prior to dismissing the 3. Darrell knew exactly what he was being dismissed for prior to his leaving. In fact, I as understand if the 3 were not dismissed or had not resigned, the City itself could have found itself in more trouble than just what is indicated by the audit. It was highly recommended to the administration for the three to be separated from the City. Now by whom, I don't know, but I was led to believe this recommendation came from Baton Rouge, not the firm across the street from City Hall.
I wasn't called, and I know I'm not voting for the blonde.
Well thats strange because I heard that Leo Hamilton( the city's Labor Law attorney from Baton Rouge) told the city to settle the case with the 3 amigos because they didn't have a case. As for the AG ruling, if that's the case then why weren't the 3 told WHY they were asked to resign. If you have something from the AG then provide it. put up or shut up cause you don't know what you're talking about.

So what's the deal? Is Albin in or out?
IMHO it would be much better for Alex if he was out. He has raped our city for log enough,IMHO
Did he rape the city of its integrity or was it that old "weenie in the beaver" kind o rape?
the other V in V&V is Joey Vercher. And I believe he is one of the head honchos over at the Parish Tax Office.
SmellyPelican,
Just as you did yesterday in the Town Talk's Story Chat, you're completely and recklessly misrepresenting the facts.
Mr. Chambers is not in Jacques Roy's shadow, is not involved in the Roy campaign, and will not be involved in the Roy administration.
Jacques Roy has repeatedly denied these accusations, including on KALB's Video Blog.
Chambers appeared at ONE Roy "news conference," the one in which Jacques announced his intentions to run. That's it.
For now, go watch Jacques' Video Blog.
Lamar, are you authorized to speak for the Roy campaign in all matters or what? You certainly talk like you have the bully pulpit and I know you enjoy feeling relevant, but really.
If I am a bully for pointing out the facts to a blogger who has twice posted that Chambers will be involved in Roy's administration (despite the facts, including a direct videotaped denial), then please accept my apology. I think it's more important to correct the record.
Lamar, I suppose my question is may we hold Roy responsible for those representations and assertions that you make on his behalf, or are you just in it for the applaise?
Lamar, it appears that you are arguing with idiots again. The facts have been available for all to see and yet there still remain people that do not pay atttention. I appreciate your efforts and quest for factual truth.
. . . . also, sometimes called "applause".
Spanky, Lamar's position is that Roy already answered that question. Others are saying that this does not appear consistent with the activities they observe. And, as for arguing with idiots, I do not feel that I am arguing ;>)
Look, I'm not writing here for the applause or the laurels, because, after all, Cenla Antics is not exactly known as a bastion of kindness and appreciation.
But I will continue to question those who claim to observe behavior that contradicts the facts.
I would say that Jacques answered the question directly that Harold Chambers is not involved in his campaign nor will be included in his administration. If you have information to the contrary, then you need to divulge it in a straight-forward manner. Why would you deny the arguing part and not the idiot part of my statement?
"wesawthat... Says:
2:50 PM
as southern baptists ourselves we have to say that its a sad pathetic day that louisiana college would promote and ordain this bush evil to come into our midst. no wonder today is overcast and darkened. surely the hand of god will move in judgement upon not only louisiana college but the baptist faith as a whole."
We Saw That you make me ashamed to be a Southern Baptist. An extremely large number of Baptists, excluding We Saw That, the Leadership at LC and the Leadership of the Louisiana Baptist Convention, have intelligent, functioning brains. The typical Baptist is not a conspiracy nut - oh hell just a nut period as We Saw That.
Spanky, I have no information contrary to what Lamar said or the other party that alleges a Chambers affilliation. My question was/is, does Lamar speak for Roy. That which Lamar describes as "fact" are merely assertions by one of the factions. What appears on the KALB blog is not necessarily fact, whether it comes from Roy or from Brewer.
The simple truth is that none of us know what part, if any, Harold will play in either administration. That is the "fact".
We won't have the facts on who is in and who is out until they are in or they are out. Everything else is speculation and political posturing.
On the idiot thing, I feel no need to defend my intellect and I am not sure you are wrong about me.
Jesus Christ couldn't get a job at LC now, with their conditions. Even though I am an LC alumni, I will not recommend that institution to anyone.
Many of you are a perfect example of why we should require an IQ to prior to allowing one to vote. Good God, pull your heads out of your asses, clean your ears out and listen to what Jacques said about Chambers on the interview at KALB. How dumbass can you be? Now run back to Delores and help make up a new lie.
As you can see, Spanky, a FACT is a pretty reliable piece of information. I think Lamar was using the term to loosely. My apologies to Dead Horse.

Smelly,
The audit was an “investigative” audit, meaning they did look into all these issues. There were NO problems with the issues you questioned; hence NO finding that anyone was participating in “shady” “under the table” deals. It’s not ILLEGAL to have relatives and just because you do have relatives doesn’t make you a crook. And believe it or not there are people with ethics, morals and standards that work and have worked in government even at the City – obviously by your alias, you are not one nor could you recognize one!
Have you ever wondered WHY the city has a City Attorney and WHY this attorney signs off on every contract prior to the mayor authorizing it to go before the council for approval? Every cost share agreement makes its way to the council and the City Attorney is the one that should have NEVER let these go through if there was a "legal" problem. The three amigos were scapegoats, pure and simple. As I recall the significant part of the settlement was the exoneration from the mayor of “any personal wrongdoing”. After the mayor’s recant as reported in the paper today, it would appear that the three may have another claim against the city.
To Anon. 12:30
Bullshit. One of the partners in he firm across from City Hall had EVERYTHIMG to do with the dismissals. Baton Rouge lawyers weren't working on the subdivision development stuff. That is just NOT accurate.
That was NOT a direct quote from Ned in the paper today. Gunn probably drew conclusions and wrote it up.
Filing another lawsuit would be silly at this point. It would only serve to draw very negative attention to the three guys over and over again. But if they let the story die on its own once the media does its pitiful coverage, people will forget about it in less than a week.
Check out this quote from We Saw That's latest expample of truth and objectivity. "We" is pretty inrresponsible. Aside from all of his sick extremist views , he is a liar.
" babs zimmerman is a high up executive at kalb tv, her husband jim leggett is an executive at the alexandria daily town talk."
To Anon. 11:27:41:
You keep on believing people are sticking with DB. There, there, if it makes you feel better. You are obviously a family member, or one of the blue hair Republican women or Mr. Provosty. Other people acknowledge the truth.
Filing another lawsuit might be just the ticket to finally expose Ned, Alban and Kevin for what they are.
That's an indirect quote. One that does not have quote marks around it. If you look on page 1, there is a direct quote from Ned and it has quote marks. The indirect quote is more "Billy bullshit." IMHO, the Mr. Gunn needs some intervention.
IMHO, now that the audit has been completed, a lawsuit would hurt the plaintiffs much more than the city or its leaders past or present. But hey, it's a free country and you can sue a ham sandwich if that floats your boat.
Who cares about Ned, Alban and Kelvin? They are the PAST. They're on their way out and a new administration will be going in. Alban won't be a special counsel to anyone at the city and Kelvin's going back to private practice with Ms. Brown. Fhugettaboutit! They're finished, capice? Myron is another story--you the voters put him back in...so you gotta keep dealing with him, CFS, Silver, Hobbs et al.
If Babs is a high exec @ KALB and Jim is one at the TT, then I am Bill Gates. Both careers have gone only downhill since their arrival in Alexandria decades ago. They still hang on to an obligatory social standing that only exists in their minds, but have abandened any hope of being taken seriously years ago when they decided to sell out in order to be popular with the blue blood, silk stocking gents and dames. They were at a failure at that too.
Hey, I hear the following are gonna run for DeWitt's seat next year. Glenn Beard, Lance Maxwell, (who have already declared) and now Chuck Fowler and Butch Crenshaw are telling people they plan to run. That could be interesting.
Kelvin Sanders and Herbert Dixon are reportedly going to run for Bo Curtis' seat.
Babs and Jim have more knowledge about Louisiana government and its players in their little fingers than any of the young, johnny come lately reporters have collectively in their brains. Babs and Jim are under appreciated because of the giant companies that bought channel 5 and the Town Talk. Media General and Gannett. Both companies are known for ruining what they purchase. The execs that run the tv station and the paper wouldn't recognize real reporters and writers if they were hit over the head with them. They don't care. It's all about the bottom line. What's your beef? Did you do something wrong that they exposed on tv and in the paper? That is their job. Our Democracy depends on freedom of the press. But the bad guys never like it when they're on the hot seat. Whoever you are, you make me sick.
Hey Guys. We Saw That is a nut and now we all know it.
What's your beef? Did you do something wrong that they exposed on tv and in the paper?
No, one beef is yesterday Babs reported on a story, only as to one offender, and left the other offender out of her story. She also lied when she misquoted a public agency. Her news story on this appeared yesterday at noon, and after her facts were reported as being biased and wrong, to Michell Goddard, that story did not run in the evening or 10 pm news. As of yet, KALB has not corrected the erreoneous facts not included the other charged offender. Jimbo has the same information and it hasn't appeared in the Town Talk. Babs and Jimbo are either liars or incompetent and their is documentary proof of it.
Carry on speaking the truth We Saw That.
Hey Guys. We Saw That is a nut and now we all know it.
Comment: Yet another brilliant argument from the hill country. The news story We Saw That informed upon, point out exactly which points were "nuts". Perhaps you should pick your banjo up and play another round of dueing banjos, and leave high level thinking to others.
RE: Anon 6:05:21 - Hey I hear the following...
Another name to watch for in the race for the retiring Bo Curtis is Pineville City Councilman Kevin Dorn. Dorn is someone who has political clout on both sides of the party isle, and both sides of the river (which the District now covers) and has built strong support through his employer International Paper. Kevin Dorn will be nice change from the politics of the two previously mentioned candidates.
I wish I understand that remark about We Saw Squat and dueling banjo's and such. s the anon saying We Saw Squat is a nut that plays a banjo in hill country - wherever that may be. Is there a special,secret language spoken on here? We Saw Squat is a radical, conspiracy minded "the sky is falling" chicken little who is ignerent. Now someone may speel incorrectly, spit backee and have no teeth but all that doesn't make We Saw Squat any smarter.
If the poster was referring to We Say Squat's copied remarks concerning Bush that is what the fool posted relative to Bush's visit and why the fool had to incooperate us Southern Baptist (You'll Cum) I will never know.
For those without sufficient brainpower to already know this, let me take this opportunity to enlighten you.
When one disagrees with what someone else says the correct way to rebut the premise is with counter facts and argument. Calling someone nuts, fat, ugly, asshole, STFU and etc...,ARE NOT valid arguments. Remember that some on this blog have gone higher than your achievement of the 6th grade. Perhaps you should search for a wrestling blog, upon which you may feel more at home.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration,
What I'm referring to concerning We Saw That is his constant tirades and conspiracy rants about conservatives. He refuses to enlighten us on how Rodney Alexander is a "proven criminal" and calls George H. Walker Bush an evil person. Apparently, he is a total nutcase.
Daisy: Babs and Jim went south before Joe D. sold the TT and Kalb changed management. You sound like the Johnny come lately. I have been around before Babs and Jim came to Alex. They could have had a career but sold out and failed to expose the things they could have have given them an honest career in journalism. Their social standing was more important and their fate was sealed as legitimate political pundits. Don't get mad at me for pointing out what everyone already knows. They are so far out of the loop it is not even funny. Why else would the big story Babs gets to report is which dog at the animal shelter took a poop yesterday and Jim is rahashing last week's news on the Sunday review. You hit my real beef: Babs and Jim never ever put anybody on the hot seat mainly because they were so busy kissing all of the politicians' asses they didn't have the courage to report what everyone knew.
Wasn't Leggett locked up in a nut house a while back?

Subject Classified Sales Center
In order to use our classified call center resources more efficiently and provide greater sales opportunities for more of our Louisiana customers, we will be creating one South Classified Sales Center in Lafayette. Effective February 5, 2007, our classified call center functions will move to The Daily Advertiser. This includes advertising solicitation responsibilities for recruitment, private party, obituary, and commercial advertising.
As a result, five current call center job positions in Alexandria will end at that time. Two positions will remain one to handle legal advertising and one to handle weddings and engagements, and assist our classified walk-in customers.
As part of this advertising restructure, a number of new positions will be created here and in Lafayette. Our current call center representatives are eligible to apply for any of those jobs if they choose, as well as any other openings which arise between now and February 5 here or at any other Gannett property. It is our hope they will choose to remain with us through the transition.
The call center and advertising staff members were informed of this change earlier today. We are sharing this information with you because we believe its important every employee is kept informed of company changes. That said, for now I am asking you not to say anything about this to our customers during the course of your business conversations. We will provide you with the proper communication to our customers at the appropriate time. Until then, we will continue to meet all of our customers business needs as we do currently.
Please understand that this is a challenging time for those employees in affected positions. Please respect their feelings and be supportive of your co-workers throughout this transitional period.
The Post Office is trying to consolidate services and move them from Alexandria to Lafayette also. The Town Talk people ought to join with the postal workers - those guys now how to air a greivance.
Is it true that we are about to get our own CBS affiliate here in Alex? I have heard that Media General (KALB owner) is about to launch it and, unfortunately, they will share the local newscast with KALB. I wish that we could get some competition for local news coverage.
In reading the TT chat room info and this blog, I noticed smellypelican was incorrect in one comment. John Flynn will not be the new city attorney. Billy Allen has been promised this do nothing job. Lamar, please tell us, why Alexandria needs a city attorney when the city has all these attorneys on retainer? Or, why all these attorneys on retainer when you have a city attorney? How is changing from Sadler to NB&A an improvement?
I have not been promised anything.
Well, here ya go Billy, I promise that Roy is going be. our next mayor and were going to be very glad we made that decision very soon. Good luck to you. You will serve us well if given the opportunity
Hi,
I just finished listening to Ms. Brewer on KSYL. I have a strong feeling that she does not like me. She wants to cancel all of the contracts made with the city when she becomes mayor. Good luck, honky mo fo.
Apparently, I was dizzier than usual, this morning, and came late to the Talk Back Radio interview with Delores Brewer. One of her answers made me believe that, if she is elected, Jock Scott will be her City Attorney. True? Another of her answers revealed that Rick Ranson may hold a position, as well. What position?
I think that Roy will hire a City attorney and two assistants and eliminate ALL the contract attorneys. Its kinda ridiculous having different attorneys working for the same entity but fighting each other. Whoever heard of a city council with its own lawyer designed to fight the "special cousel" to the mayor who, in turn, fights the City attorney. Its absolutely insan.
Isn't jock Scott Lawson's attorney?
Me thinks Flynn is your next City attorney, BOOK IT!
how many lies can delores tell in one hour? Now David Pugh is Jacques media consultant according to delores. Just another in a long string of lies that she just can't help herself from telling. What a desperate woman she has become with the help of Rick, Jock, Albin and Fletcher.
It is common knowledge that albin called Ned and told him he would never speak to him again if Ned didn't publicly endorse delores. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. With friends like that...
Oh, it's common knowledge huh? Just what is "common knowledge"? Can you name names of people who were there during that phone call and heard that conversation? Who exactly told you that? As Lamar always says, "I'm not going to allow you to spread malicious lies without absolute proof". Can you give us that proof?
Just the facts ma'am.
call ned and ask him; how about that smartass

"Delores had nothing to do with the Cost share agreements"
Anon 7:59 you are wrong. Delores's signiture was required to pay the invoices for all of the projects listed in the Audit report. When it left her desk the invoice went to David Crutchfield (Finance Director) who issued the check. She was just as much a part of the process as Craig and Williamson. Chambers only role in the whole process was to sign the fact sheet that requests the Council approval of the Cost Share Contract after it was reviewed by Kelvin Sanders for legal issues. He did not approve invoices for payment. The Auditor cited the City for an illegal policy that was set by the Mayor and Council not the Division Directors. They don't set policy, but are charged with implementing the policies. Seems like the legal department failed here. Ned and Kelvin are Lawyers,not Delores, Sonny, Chambers or Williamson.
Did Ned tell you that Albin had called him and made those statements?
I think it would be a good idea to have only a City Attorney and assistants, and do away with contract lawyers. There will be times that a specialist may be needed, such as taxes, bonds, evironmental and etc... There is no excuse for the City Attorney not to handle grass cutting and collection cases.
I hear that smellypelican, the blogger who has been writing the lies about Harold Chambers and Jacques Roy, is none other than our own former State Representative, Randy Wiggins.
A google search of smellypelican and a review of his Town Talk profile reveals that he is a 55 year old insurance salesman from Pineville who enjoys officiating sports games. Smellypelican was also one of the very first writers on this blog, which was created by a board member of Cenla GoPAC.
Randy Wiggins is also a board member of CenlaGoPAC, a resident of Pineville, an insurance salesman, and exactly 55 years old, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State.
Coincidence? I don't think so.
It should be no surprise that those who bash Roy the most are members of a political action committee for Republicans.
You there, smellypelican?
i've been out of town on a wild goose chase looking for delores' integrity. no luck. i did bring back some great photos of big foot from canada. did i miss anything important on the blog?
wb biff ^5
Isn't it funny that people on this blog started spreading the rumor in January that Wiggins would be running for mayor of Pineville?
Looks like WeSawThat has a post about the Cenla Antics/Cenla GoPAC connection
wesawthat. :)

The word around the Alexandria Police Academy is that a Quent Carrier will run for Mayor of Alexandria. He's the chamber of commerce candidate."
It's great to see them kissing each other's asses.
Wiggins? Haven't heard much about him and his Chiclet smile lately.
Ruh Roh, if Randy Wiggins does run for Mayor of Pineville, Rich Dupree may have to go to trade school to learn how to do something.
Now that is just plain funny. Even Wiggins would flash some chiclets after reading that one.
Cenla Antics has a link to a homosexual blog. Does that mean that either the owner of Cenla Antics or us posters are queer?
We Saw That is past being a conspiracy idiot. Now he is seeing hidden messages in the position of a star on a banner. There is credibility attached to this person?
Sow a republican organization has a link to this blog site. Big deal.
Hey Nero Glistro.
You really think we're all that stupid?
You really think that we don't know who started Cenla Antics?
It's more than just a coincidence.
Cenla Antics was created by at least one person on this list--
* Wayne Ryan, Chairman
* Milton Gordon, Vice Chairman
* Chuck Tosten, Secretary
* Alice Bryant, At Large
* Quint Carriere, At Large
* Steve Durr, At Large
* Larry Jeanne, At Large
* Garland Lawrence, At Large
* Matt Seaton, At Large
* Bill Thomas, At Large
* Randy Wiggins, At Large
Randy Wiggins was our State Senator before and after Joe McPherson. He only lasted one term and only got that because Joe didn't run for the Senate that time.
The only reason there is a link to a homosexual website is because the idiot who created this site couldn't figure out that there is a difference between the Baton Rouge Advocate and the Advocate Magazine.
hahahaha
Anon 1:02:20 PM, Randy Wiggins ran for the State Senate against Joe McPherson, in ’99, and lost. Prior to that, RW was a State Rep. – the seat that Rick Farrar now holds.
Oh no Cenla GOPAC has a link to the Black Republican. That means, according to We Can't See Shit, because cenla Antics is linked to Cenla GoPac I am the one in the woodpile and a republican at that because I post on this blog.
As far as the Baton rouge Advocate the Advocate link is still a link to a homosexual blog site so, as Steve figured out even though he never turned, I must be a negro, republican queer. Jump down turn around pick a bale of cotton
There is no way Randy will beat Clarence if he decides to run again.
Randy? You mean smellypelican?
Wasn't he the person warning us about the FBI being in town?
What a nut.
Suzy, of course they are.. the FBI is always in town. I was talking about his paranoid delusion that they were investigating corruption at City Hall.
I thought ya'll said Cenla Antics was the guy who has PJ coffee House?
Yeah Quint Carriere, board member on Cenla GoPAC... just like Randy Wiggins.
So this blog was originally started as a way for Republicans to spread their message?
Not a big surprise.
I wonder why they feel like hiding their names, though.
What's that?
To: Thursday, Anon. 10:24 a.m.
Actually, here is the real story as told to the city council--Mr. Provosty didn't even provide the mayor with the courtesy of a phone call to say he wasn't showing back up for work at city hall. Once the mayor didn't endorse Brewer, Provosty sent the message through Ken Juneau that he was out. Furthermore, Mr. Provosty wouldn't take a call from the Mayor. So, that arrangement is apparently over.
Are you sure it didn't have something to do with ex-president Bush being in towm/
It may come as a suprise and all you have to do is look at the archives to see the origins of this blog to discover that it was started to have a free and open exchange of ideas and information. Of course, as more intelligent, educated, and rational folks such as yourselves become aware of its existence, it is only natural that you would assume that it is a propaganda instrument. Or could it be that I would suggest that you may think that it is a propaganda instrument so that you would not think that it was but that it really is. Ya know, it really could be a conspiracy. Well, gotta go cuz I have to fuel my black helicopter.
Suzie, rummors have been abound for some time now that the FBI is investigating a lot of things locally. Several dealings by Alexandria City Council members, the Sheriff, incuding his camp in Mexico, Ball Mayor Roy Hebron, and several other matters have been suggested as being included in such investigation.
lol spanky quit buzzing my house.
i know the fbi is investigating me for taking toilet paper from my office.
And here I thought the FBI was after Joe Fuller and Bridgett Brown again...
Just one question - how can Quint be the Chamber of Commerce candidate when he isn't even a member? Are they now supporting people who don't support them?
I don't know. Ask Randy Wiggins.
Someone pull up the entry from a week or so where someone speculated on Ranson as Chief of Staff and read what he said. I think it was something like...He isnt interested or isnt considering and that the suggestion was silly.....Hmmmm.....Mispeak? Birds of a feather.??
Ranson specifically denied any suggestion that he would consider the position. I can not find the actual entry but if anyone can please repost it here. I want to say that it was on a Sunday evening but im not sure when...
Here's the entry:
Rick Ranson said...
It's very interesting to see so many people concerned about my future. It's also interesting to know that I'm in danger of losing my bank job - especially since I've been there 27 years and we have have enjoyed record profits the last several years. Oh. I almost forgot, I've been promoted twice in three years.
I have spent a lot of time (and money) planning my future. What a waste of time! I should have consulted some of you bloggers so I wouldn't have to worry about what the future holds.
Your intelligence and forecasting ability is overwelming! If anyone has any more they would like to share with me please call. I can be reached at the following numbers-

As has always been my practice, I do not respond to anonymous requests. If you don't have the backbone to stand behind your statements, then I must assume they are posted for our amusement. And I must admit, they ARE amusing!

Note: he doesn't deny being asked about Chief of Staff or considering it. He merely says we should call and ask him direct.

"There is no way Randy will beat Clarence if he decides to run again."
I disagree and I don't even like ol' buck tooth!
Hell, he handed Rick Farrar's ass to him on his first try and almost beat Joe (who is a MUCH better candidate that THE RICKSTER or Clarence Dupree)
GO RANDY!!!!
PS...i wanna bang your daughter(s)
I just listened to Mrs. Brewer's KSYL interview. IF Mr. Ranson and Mr. Scott actually agree to work with this woman it would be the only way for Alexandria to survive her term of office. Her pie in the sky plans sound great to the uninformed but are not based on fiscal reality.
Do the citizens actually believe her? Oh I forgot, it doesn't matter if you confuse them enough.
Charming, mesohorny, really charming.
Hey, lucky for us, we're not going to get to find out how that works out. I guess Alban would fit into staff scene somewhere. With Jock Scott as City Attorney, Rick Ranson as Chief of Staff I guess that leaves Alban as da "extra" special counsel to da maya chick.
Former President George H. W. Bush said today in his chapel service address that politics has become too mean and negative. I'm thinking the Brewer rape ad would not please him very much. He also talked about values. That ad doesn't represent good values.
Does anyone know what happened to Dr. Duke today at LC?
I hear she was escorted out of her classroom by security.... something to do with a remark about terrorism.
Any details?
Who's Dr. Duke and what did she say?
http://www.lacollege.edu/faculty/duke.php
No doubt who'd be running the city and who would not if Brewer were to win. Her male posse would be in charge and she could smile and cut ribbons.
OK, Anon. 6:17, are you a student who wants to get out of doing your homework for Ms. Duke's class? If so, you are busted. I find it hard to believe that the new strict fundamentalist LC would still have a teacher who said something off color enough to be escorted out of her classroom today. I think anyone who thinks freely has already been run off from LC. So, I don't buy it.
Boy that Dr. Aguillard is so very impressed with himself. The intro his staffer gave for him at the Guinn Auditorium ceremony today was twice as long as the intro for former Pres. Bush. It was so over the top. Plus, he and his Mrs. A were given a big award. This guy is the biggest blow hard right wing nut job I've seen in a long time. No wonder all the good professors have bailed out. But I did like the choir and the football players's presentation at the luncheon.
I am glad Bush got an honorary degree from LC. Shae that he can't be eligible for a job there since he drinks wine. That speaks a lot for the new fundamentalist education at LC.
i never could understand the baptist wine position. wasn't the firs miracle of Jesus, turning water into wine?
You betcha that was the first miracle. Lucky for me, us Catholics don't have a problem with consumption of the fruit of the vine. Of course, we don't have a problem with consumption of beer, scotch, vodka, bourbon, rum or any other spirits, either.
Unfortunately, Louisiana College is on course for self-destruction. I, for one, hate to see it.
I agree. It is a shame. I hope it can be saved from the fundamentalists and return to being the great institution it was under Dr. Lynn and Dr. Lee. IMHO, we cannot afford to allow it to become marginalized and turned into a joke i.e., a "Jimmy Swaggart Bible College."
they're not done yet;
it wasn't enough for jock scott to attempt to torpedo any chance the city had to hold cleco accountable as a supposed mediator - he was fired from this once already
- and it wasn't enough for rick ranson to fleece the city by selling regions bank for millions - had he shown the guts his constituents asked and voted against this boondoggle in stead of conveniently "abstaining", the vote would have gone the other way - all the while casting every vote he could to derail the city's attempt at holding cleco accountable for fraud
- now they're both back in the saddle for db - aiming to continue years of corruption, cronyism and coverup - w/ albin as the chief engineer of all sorts of nefarious double dealing
not much hope for "those people" having a voice in db's mayoral regime
According to the Baptists, Jesus' first miracle was to turn water into Welches Grape Juice, which they use for their communion services. Next time a fundamentalist Baptist tell you that he belives the Bible from cover to cover, as him why they don't serve wine then.
in high school, the baptists wouldn't drink or dance, but we felt one out of three was just fine.
Albin will be under the covers with whom?
not ned anymore.
The reason Baptist are opposed to pre-martial sex is that they are afraid it will lead to dancing.
three immutable laws of religion. jews don't recognize jesus. protestants don't recognize the pope. baptists don't recognize each other in a liquor store.
Is there some kind of connection or is this just a coincidence? (Note the name in bold.)
John W. "Jock" Scott, II, (born June 29, 1947) is a lawyer and college professor in Alexandria, Louisiana, who served three terms in his state's House of Representatives, first as a Democrat (1976-1985) and then as a Republican (1985-1988). He was defeated in a race for the Louisiana State Senate in 1987. He has also lost two bids for the United States House of Representatives: a 1985 special election, when he ran as a Democrat, and in the 2004 jungle primary for the Fifth Congressional District, when he challenged fellow Republican U.S. Representative Rodney Alexander of Quitman in Jackson Parish.
Scott was born in Alexandria to Nauman Steele Scott, II, (1916-2001) and Blanche Hammond Scott (1920-1985). He graduated from Bolton High School in Alexandria in 1965. He received his bachelor's degree from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1969. He obtained his law degree from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. He was in law school at the time that President Richard M. Nixon named Scott's Republican father to a new Alexandria-based U.S. Districit judgeship.
Scott has been married to the former Cynthia "Cyndy" Henderson since 1972. They are the parents of three grown children, Natalie, John, III, and Elizabeth. And there is now a grandson in the Scott family as well.
anon, 8.36. i wondered about that. no connection, huh?
Don't know - thought maybe someone else might. I also find it very interesting after reading his Wikipedia bio that he was not supportive of the ERA amendment. I wonder how Delores feels about that. Without that amendment she might not be in the position she is in right now.
Here's something rather interesting - Judge Nauman had a brother - Albin Provosty Scott.
Things that make you go hmmm....
OK figured that one out - Judge Nauman's father - also Nauman married a Provosty. So, Jock's grandmother was a Provosty - the daughter of Albin the First.
I wonder how many of the Cenla area drag queens will be going as Delores Brewer to Unique Bar Halloween night? Scary, isn't it?
i plan to dress up as delores' integrity for halloween.
Im going as the Garden District Rapist!!!
7:36 You don't know what the hell you are talking about. Not only that, but you are damn wrong!
There ain't no 7:36! Put down your wine glass & go to bed! Do you mean 7:30:26?
"Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand, whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I blog?'
"Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand"
I have called my Johnson a lot of things, but Wine Glass?????????
Albin, you need a vacation......
Isn't it interestimg that 1/3 of yesterday's posts came from the offices of KJA? What's wrong Sam and David - not enough business to keep you busy?
How do you know where the posts are coming from? Clairevoyant or what?
It's called egging people on to get angry posts out of them.
I am heading to the Halloween Shop today to see if they have the Delores Brewer Integriy costume. i am afraid they will be hard to find.
Operation "FALCON" is a Joint Law Enforcement endeavor comprised of Federal/State/Local LEO's to apprehend judicially adjudicated sex-offenders...
NOT here ref former President G. H. W. Bush...
Suzy Q
Whats the deal with your continued fed posts? The FBI is ALWAYS here, they have an office in the Federal Building downtown. The Marshals are ALWAYS here as well, they have a few offices here. I guess I am just missing your point...
Any further word on the Alex Mayoral Debate between Brewer/Roy???
Who is the moderator supposed to be???
Which news outlet will host???
I'm hoping for @ least 2 hours @ Coughlin-Saunders Center or the RiverFront Center like between 6 & 8PM or 7 & 9PM, preferably on a Fri/Sat night (kinda like a major boxing event!!!)...
ANY definate info available yet???
Cenla Antics Moderator, could there possibly be a new thread in time for a weekend full of new posts...
kinda, sorta, maybe like... pretty please???
What was Jacques talking about on KSYL this morning when he said Delores went to see some lawyers? Something like that. I missed the beginning of the statement.
Biff,
Found Delores's integrity. Son-of-a-gun, Jacques had it the whole time.
No Suzi you don't understand. When Delores stated on KALB, on election night, that she wanted a debate, she mispoke. Apparently you have not yet learned that the political double speak for lie is mispoke.
"nero glistro said...

NEW THREAD PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE
Excuse me, Biff could you exercise a bit of your knowledge/wisdom/influence & charm to perchance bring about a new thread...
Pretty please???
have pity on the dial ups. it's hard for them to post. :)

Another interesting thing about the Scott bio is the daughter, Elizabeth Scott. Isn't that who just filed the sexual harrassment suit against Alexander? De plot thickens.....
that elizabeth scott was not from louisiana. not the same gal, from what i can gather.

This Town Talk poll was very accurate last time. What is the real word on the street THIS time with a little over a week to go?
Alexandria mayoral race
Which candidate do you prefer in Alexandria mayoral race?
29.7%
Delores Brewer
70.3%
Jacques Roy
Total Votes: 2384
yeah anonymous 2:48:53 PM you caught us. our lithium is running low since its near the end of the month and all.
oops make that anonymous 3:45:02 PM
I just found out who We Saw That is. The epitome of a true weirdo.
I just saw Brewer's new commercial. She lickens Roy to a pig at a trough. It even has a picture of him with a superimposed
pig snout. Boy, if that isn't the pot calling the skillet black!
Don't you mean, "the pot calling the kettle black?
