I have a request of all you bloggers. I ask that for just one day, no one insults anyone or intentionally misconscrue facts in an attempt to assasinate someone's character.
When I read the postings, sometimes I want to hit DELETE for the entire blog. I am in total agreement with Horace. If you haven't jumped in to help out, then you have no say. Let's start 2008 intelligently.
Merry Christmas ... Happy Chanuka ... Merry Quanza ... Merry Hajh (??)

This guy is almost too stupid to bother with--->Sunday, December 23, 2007 4:53:00 PM, but I can't help myself, he's too easy a target to pass up.
Lets address your moronic assertions one at a time shall we?
First, you say, ...did not know the law re ethics and his practice and you’re an idiot because...Faircloth could maintain his private practice and serve as Executive Council because there is no law or ethics ruling that says he can't...period.
Second you say, ...who is the atty for the Gambling industry and you’re an idiot because...Faircloth was the attorney for the Coushatta Indian tribe. That same tribe operates a single casino. They had an attorney before Faircloth and now that he has resigned as their council, they will hire another attorney. Are you saying that because they operate a casino they don’t have the right to council? Are you saying that because they are Indians, any attorney they hire is un-ethical? Like I said, you’re an idiot.
Third you say, ...whose legacy at Pineville will be trying to prevent transparency of what goes on in Pineville government and you’re an idiot because...Name for us one thing the City of Pineville has not been transparent about? Wanna see e-mails? Call and ask, they’ll set up a computer just for you so you can look to your hearts content…for free! Need copies? Pay the copy charge and you can get all you want. Looking for arrest records? They have every arrest logged in at the front desk of the Police Department and stored in a binder. Look all you want! Need a copy? They are $1.00 for each copy. I challenge you, peabrain, Name one, just one instance where the City of Pineville tried to hide anything.
No, you’re one of Aymond’s sick little minions who tries to stir the pot with half baked lies. You hate Faircloth because he has ripped the cover off your little e-mail forgery scheme and shined a spotlight on it. Now, just like cockroaches, you’re running from the light.
Well so much for the "let's play nice" speech Quint lol
Name one, just one instance where the City of Pineville tried to hide anything.
Ok, how about Villar's letter to Aymond saying that the booking records WERE NOT PUBLIC, and denying him the right to purchase a copy? Don't take my word for it, read Villar's letter yourself at WeSawThat's http://wesawthat.blogspot.com/2007/10/pineville-keeps-police-blotter-secret.html. Ok, there is your one instance. LOL
Yep, Quint, you created these monsters. Can't stop them now...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all.
I hope this new year will bring us all together for the betterment of both the cities and parish of Rapides. We have a long way to go but I believe that we have started the journey and with the help of all we can make this area better for the everyone. Let's strive to make a change for the better.
I hope everyone has a safe holidays.
Horace
It is my understanding that public figures cannot sue the publicfor defamation of character because of their public figure status. Does this include any public employee?
Not quite true. Public figures have to prove actual malice so their burden is greater for recovery.
Also, if memory serves, Pineville was very resistant to providing any access to Aymond's requested materials and their present willingness to permit on-sight inspection is a result of Aymond's efforts. That is why ALL of the local media supported Aymond's heroic efforts.
What evidence do we have that the local media favored or disfavored Aymond's actions?
It would seem local media would only be interested in someone's attempt at obtaining access if it eased the work necessary to meet their requests and Aymond's legal actions against Pineville just strenghens local media ability. As far as Aymond's actual case I don't think the media gives a flip.
The local media is in a win win situation. If the the bottom feeder is successful they can now obtain CD's for a fraction of the cost of the copies. If he loses they have lost nothing nor sullied their name.
Never ever blieve Aymond is conducting this witchhunt due to some high moraled principles. He is seeking revenge and a big pay day. He subscribes to Beuatiful Brigitte's mantra "it is now his time."
In closing Quint should realize that at times the truth tends to bring disrespect to the person being spoken off. It is kinda like perjuring one's self under oath. Discredits the individual in all aspects of that persons life. Would it not be a logical conclusion that one that would perjure himself/herself under oath but proclaim to be a Christian and outwardly living a Christian life would be a hypocrite?
So if the truth discredits or demeans someone then the only opion would be to say nothing. With nothing to say there would be no need for the blog. I think in amongst all this posting there a many gems of truths. his blog seems to be the only way the actual truth can be told to the Public in this area. Our local media is a joke. Local bloggers spin things on their sites to present themselves in the best light.
In closing never forget "a hit dog howls." Those desiring the closure of blog sites basically are angered by the disclosure of information. As one Alexandria City employee stated: "He (another City employee) was mad because someone was posting City business on this blog site and know everyone knows." Employees of Governmental Agencies do not think they are subject to the scrutiny of the public.
"Merry Christmas, you COCK SUCKERS!!!"
....and Happy New Year to you too, Mr. Wizard.
an unfortunate display of republican public anti-cocksucker rhetoric - hiding latent tendency
.
Aymonds, you don't have a problem with the STATE telling Huffman to remove his sign just because it wasn't located in front of or around a business????
I know it is rather early to start a discssion on the next local elections, but now that Jam Downs has announced he intends to run for re-election as Rapides Parish District Attorney, I am curious as to what others think about the race. Possible competition, issues,etc. Any thoughts?
Yikes, did I mispell DISCUSSION? Sorry!
I hope all had a merry Christmas and wish all a peaceful and prosperous New Year. The Smokies are beautiful even though it has been raining off and on and snow is on the horizon for Tuesday.
Love,
Spanky
Have you been able to climb up them BIG mountains on this trip Spanky. Lots of others slid into them slippery slopes. Aint like Virgin snow if you know what i mean.
Wow what a big man you must feel typing that vulgar crap. Did you orgasm when you typed that crap with one hand? You are among the dregs of society.
There a few contenders for the DA position, but Downs has a lock on it.
I agree Downs is most likely to retain his office. However, there are a few who could make it an interesting race. Downs must work and campaign. Remember, Slocum had a "lock" on the Sheriff's race.
Much to my disappointment, Downs is the most "political" DA in my lengthy memory. His decisions are based on political considerations instead of justice, fairness, or law enforcement. It's a shame.
Andy why is prosecuting that lady for arson the most important thing he can do in the next term?
Unfortunately, much of our city problems stem directly from Down's unwillingness to enforce the law on issues such as open meetings, Marshall's felony status, and certain conduct of Myron Lawson, Charles F. Smith, & Bridget Brown of which he is painfully aware.
I think the importance of prosecuting the Gutweiller case is more about ego than justice. Mike Small made such fools out of that office that they are busting their asses to try to recover face and reputation. Lots-0-luck.
Downs is a good guy, and he does what is right, not what is politically expedient. It is those who work fo him who have gotten him into political trouble. Some of his assistants are ego driven and seek their own power by running for other offices or getting very involved in trying to be kingmakers in other races. These ego driven power grabs are creating vehement enemies who are gathering at the base of the mountain.
Who might you be referring to?
It is those who work fo him who have gotten him into political trouble.
Then why doesn't he fire them?
Who am I referring to? Take your pick. Secretaries are even taking active roles in campaigns. Assistants are seeking power bases by running and/or running others who they will control. If you haven't noticed it yet, hang around and observe this year's round of elections.
The Gutweiller fiasco could certainly be a millstone around Jam's neck. But I think few, if any, opponents would be willing to play that card. There isn't an attorney that hasn't lost some case. Everyone of them comes with "baggage".
The only King Maker was John Flynn who left the office some time ago. I heard some bad stuff about Down's secretary but that seems to have blown over. If you are talking about that office's part in the Slocum defeat, everybody on the 3rd and 5th floors of the courthouse had an active hand in that. Since you are unable to name names I must conclude that you are probably Slocum and/or full of shit.
What exactly do you think JOHN FLYNN did to cause any of these people to be elected? Give me something specific that he did if anything?
No sense in us arguing. Talk to Jacques Roy and Chuck Wagner and they will credit their elections to John Flynn. He happens to be brilliant and that seems to help.
I voted for both of those candidates, and I have never heard Flynn say anything nor have seen him assocaited in anyway with those campaigns. I thought that WE the voters, listening to the candidates' messages, are the ones that got them elected?
That's the way Carville, Rove, and Flynn operate. They manage the candidate to influence the voters. He's good.
That's a lot of BS
So, if one person decides to run against Downs, doesn't everyone that's interested have to run too?
Downs will be re-elected, and then the Philip Terrell era will dawn. Philip will be DA as long as he wants it. The line of succession is set!
Flynn's decision to switch Chuck from Republican to Democrat in the spring was the brilliant move. The rest was history.
The fact that you are in the dark on the crucial and pivotal roll that Flynn played in recent elections is a genuine tribute to his brilliance.
I wouldn't be so sure on that Terral prediction. I think that there are much stronger candidates out there, some of which are already in the prosecuting business.
Seems like a judge would also know a thing or 2 about criminal matters too.
Let me tell you something about Flynn. In 2006, he gutted the Delores Brewer movement. In 2007, he gutted Lance Maxwell and Mike Slocum. To a lesser extent, he gutted Kelvin Sanders. In 2008, he will gut_________? You fill in the blank.
Flynn has proven to be more than competent in handling these races. He also has had alot of competent help with each race. Derailing Slocum was like hunting over a baited field because that guy was so easy. There are a couple of people that Flynn may sign on with if they ran against Downs. So far, they ain't running. Downs has done a good job - he's just not much for politicin. Should be a calm election cycle this time. A Judge race or 2, City Marshall might be interesting, City Council?? Don't look for anyone to challenge Downs - it would take at least $300k and the Sheriff's race grabbed up most of the local big $ for a while.
Flynn didn't "gut" anyone. Brewer was a Republican candidate running in a district that was 51% African-American. She never had a prayer. In three years Mayor Roy will get beat by Roosevelt and nobody can save him on that one. Maxwell was 29 years old. He was up against the Mayor's brother, the Mayor, the former Alex police chief, the town talk and now your also saying Flynn. If it took all of them to beat him...then that speaks more for Maxwell than Flynn. Slocum's race is interesting. I think the KALB "smoke and mirrors" story and Bill Robinson's all out push for Wagner did much more than any other aforementioned figure. I say if Fynn is such a "great" political mind...why doesn't he run. He has always wanted to be DA. This would be the year. Lets see how smart he really is.
Rumor has it that our latest, "sexually confused" weatherdyke has a new live in girlfriend. She's a 19 year student at LSUA.
Just goes to show that lesbians can rob the cradle too.
Why are you so threatened by a TV weather person that you don't know and may see for 30 - 45 seconds a day? Why would her or anyone's sexual preferences matter to you. You sound like that lunatic on My Space screaming "leave Britney alone!"
He or she just wanted to fit in here, by saying something insulting about somone that is doing more with their life than the anon. It is similar to the kid in class that stuck pencils up their nose and said "look at me".
Sounds as if the poster at 5:10 AM today may be a bit jealous!
So what if some woman has a lesbian lover! I say congratulations to the new couple. And if one of them is 19 years of ago, big deal. Look at it this way, this could be an answer to the rising number of illegitimate children! Think of the savings for taxpayers.........
Is there any reason why ISHTAR or whatever his name is who does sports on KALB can't Shave before he comes on the air? I keep wating for the trifacta results on camel races in Iran. This station sucks more everday.
You mean the guy who tries to Hypmotize the viewers with his unibrow?
I am fascinated by people whose lives are so empty that the only relationships they can maintain are with local celebs on the KALB TV screen. You should pretend that you are an alcoholic so that you could attend some AA meetings and relate to other lonely people.
You must have been frantic when Merv Griffin needed a haircut.
Does the City of alexandria have employeed a city employee that is a licensed, professional Electrical Engineer. If so, who is it?
PS: To my knowledge the City of Alexandria has several Engineer Interns but is there a city employee that is a registered professional Electrical Engineer? One who can design, certify, etc. You know one who can design circuitry, "stamp" and certify an electrical drawing as meeting codes as a professional engineer can?
(2) A professional engineer shall be either:
(a) An engineer intern, or an individual who meets the qualifications to be an engineer intern, who has met the requirements for progressive engineering experience in work acceptable to the board, who is of good character and reputation, who has passed the written or electronic examinations required by the board, and who has satisfied the requirements of R.S. 37:694.
Practicing engineers
In most countries, a Bachelor's degree in engineering represents the first step towards professional certification and the degree program itself is certified by a professional body. After completing a certified degree program the engineer must satisfy a range of requirements (including work experience requirements) before being certified. Once certified the engineer is designated the title of Professional Engineer (in the United States, Canada and South Africa ), Chartered Engineer (in India, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Zimbabwe), Chartered Professional Engineer (in Australia and New Zealand) or European Engineer (in much of the European Union).
The advantages of certification vary depending upon location. For example, in the United States and Canada "only a licensed engineer may seal engineering work for public and private clients".[
§700. Enforcement proceedings against other persons; procedure
A. The board shall have the power to take enforcement action against any non-licensee or non-certificate holder found by the board to be guilty of any of the following acts or offenses:
(1) Practicing or offering to practice engineering or land surveying in the state of Louisiana without being licensed in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter.
(2) Presenting or attempting to use as one's own the license, certificate, seal, or stamp of another person.
(3) Any fraud, deceit, material misstatement, or perjury or the giving of any false or forged evidence in applying for a license or certificate, or in taking any examination.
(4) Falsely impersonating any licensee or certificate holder of like or different name.
(5) Using or attempting to use an expired, inactive, retired, or revoked license or certificate.
(6) Using or attempting to use a seal or stamp which is deceptively similar to the seals or stamps authorized by the board for use by its licensees.
(7) The use by any person of the words "engineer" or "engineering" or "land surveyor" or "land surveying" or any modification or derivative thereof in its name or form of business or activity except as licensed under this Chapter or in the pursuit of activities exempted by this Chapter.
(8) Falsely claiming that a person is licensed under this Chapter.
"Does the City of alexandria have employeed a city employee that is a licensed, professional Electrical Engineer. If so, who is it?"
Who cares!?!???!?!
I just read on Aymond's blog that taxpayers paid for tickets to the Southern v. Grambling football game, as well as a suite and food, ect. I cannot and will not believe that until there's proof presented. There's no way someone could get away with that without some serious legal repercussions, and I don't think any of our City legal team would authorize a private expenditure like that one!
Let's assume hypothetically that the a City buys 60 tickets to the BCS Championship game with public funds for officials and other "VIP"'s. What would be the legal ramifications? Aymond's stuff cannot possibly be accurate.
Didn't the police Jury AND the City of Pineville contribute money also?
I also read Aymond's stuff, and he had pdf documents posted on it that proves it. Look again.
I have grudgingly gained respect for Aymond's veracity on his web site. I have examined his stuff pretty closely and, but for the reactionary and racist opinions, he us factually right on the money. If he said it, it is likely true.
Supposedly, they do this as a means of promoting our area for "economic development". Don't you remember reading that Bridget Brown wanted something like $10,000 for the Southern/Grambling game?
Don't us white folks have some kinda college or university in Louisiana?
Looks like maybe Pineville didn't HAVE to pay money to go to the game.
Keeping with Fields norm the person to be appointed to fill Jo Bishops seat on the council will be nonother than BISHOPS sister......Keep it in the family..keep it under control. Same ole same ole in Pineville
I can assure you, if any City bought 60 tickets to the LSU-Florida game with taxpayer money, the Feds would swarm on them before they could say, "Geaux Tigers"!
Returning the discussion to Rapides Parish DA Jam Downs. Seems to me since he plans to run only once more that all of these folks who want to be DA should wait 4 years until there's an open seat. Politics 101--candidates would not be battling Jam, the incumbents' supporters. Just seems like the best opportunity to run would be in four years when he retires.
The district attorney's term is for six years. I agree that they should wait, but if one person decides to run, the gate will open and others will also run.
I hear that William Earl Hilton is going to become a lobbist for the LA Sheriffs Association in Baton Rouge. Anyone else hear anything.
Hey Mr. political genius 101, the DA has a six year term. You lost all credibility so the rest of your post is meaningless.
No, it's a four year term.
Should Jam Downs run again and have one or more opponents, who would be his supporters? Jam initially inherited his position as D.A. Then he was elected for a full term by default as he had no opponents. Thus we were denied learning who would have backed him. This election may be another story. I doubt if any opponent would be willing to grant Jam another free ride.
No, he also ran for election.

No dumbass, it is a six year term. It is better to keep your mouth shut than to open it and let everyone know what an idiot you are.
It's a 6 year term. Who are those people who would run?
Jimmy is out, Flynn is on the fence and Philip will be the next DA six years from now. These are my semi-informed guesses.
What about Loren Lampert or Andy VanDyke?
What about Greg Aymond?? He does seem to have a knack for ferreting out evil doers.
True, but Andy VanDyke and Loren Lampert are also good lawyers.
Jimmy will be back sooner than you know t.
Vandyke and Lambert may be viable but would never run against Downs. Flynn says he will not run and him and Lambert are real tight one will support the other if they run next time. Terrell is a threat but won't run this time. There could possibly be a token race for DA but no real threat this time. The real local money was used up in Sheriffs race. Will be a war next term.
If its a war, it will be like LSU v. Ohio State. Phillip is a lot like Les Miles, give him time to prepare and he is gonna crush the opposition.
Wrong. The only contest Phillip ever won was when his daddy was still active, Wagner was still DA, and Baden was in charge. You would have a tough time finding someone who doesn't know, like, and respect VanDyke or Lambert.
I don't think Phillip is gonna give up a sure thing and put himself at risk like that.
6 years is a long way off and a lot can happen. The safe money would be on one of the 2(Terrel or Lampbert) running against a few other lesser knowns at this point. Terrell is a good politician in his own right and Lambert seems to steadily make progress towards that office. Those guys are smart enough to know that they would hurt each other bad if they ran against each other and they will probably line up together in some format against the other candidates - whoever that is. The Sheriff race showed us that nobody is guaranteed anything.
What about Tom Wells for DA?
Wells can be the candidate and little Tom, Lance and Jimbo can run the campaign. Its dejavu!!!
There are few lawyers in this town that are dispised and disrespected by peers as much as Tom Wells. To know him is to detest and distrust him.
Thats not true. I know Tom and he is a good guy.
I too know and respect Tom. I guess your facts are not fact? Wells is a tough lawyer, but he follows the law and the rules.
That's the problem with painting perople with a broad brush stroke, and basing you assertion on a bad personaly experience you had with him, or what you have heard from someone who has.
Bigger question is who the hell cares? Why is there even a discussion on here about Tom Wells?
Why is there even a discussion on here about Tom Wells?
Because we wanted one ?
Creepus Magnamus
I would think that any lawyer dispised and disrespected by his peers could easily win an election. When you think how most people feel about lawyers, being an outcast from that "august" group could be an advantage.
Tes, lawyers are a sorry lot. That is until you catch your spouse screwing around on you, your kid gets busted for dope, somebody hits your car, and a load of other reasons.
Considering that lawyers write the laws is there any wonder you have to have one to do anything?
Tom W. is an ass but a good lawyer or so I'm told. Isn't he Jam's #1 goto guy?
Wells is decent lawyer but a horrible human being. He couldn't get elected dogcatcher. I would love to see him run for something and find out what people really think of him. If either Terell, Flynn or Lampert were to run Wells wouldn't be a blip on the radar. Look for one of those 3 to run in 6years and for Faircloth to come back and run. There will be a few others but these will be the horses in the race if nothing changes. This is a waste of dialogue cause there will not be a race this year and a lot can happen in 6 years.
Faircloth doesn't have any criminal experience, which is the primary focus of the D.A. He has respresented Indian gambling, big business and governemts.
Wells is not a bad buy. He has a dry sense of humor but is a good man. He has served the Parish from the DAs office for a number of years. He and his family are a well established family and whoever on here has personal problems with Wells should not air it here.
whoever on here has personal problems with Wells should not air it here.
Why not? Everyone is fair game on here, why should Wells be any different?
It doesn't seem to matter who's name gets floated on this blog, they will be the subject of character assassination whether its true or not! We need some civility.
Tom Wells is a horrible, horrible person. Mean, spiteful, vindictive and NOT a good lawyer.
You guys have got to be fricken kidding right? I someone actually suggesting that Wells might run for office (or even worse might be qualified to run for any office)? I would be ashamed to have him or anyone like him be elected to serve me & my family in any capacity. THIS CONFIRMS MY SUSPICION - THIS BLOG HAS BECOME COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT.
Yikes! Tom Wells hasn't even announced his name as a candidate for the position as District Attorney of Rapides Parish and already he has been tarred and feathered. Several weeks ago I posted a question asking who might be an opponent to Jam Downs. I was just seeking some names. I certaily didn't want this to turn into such a blood-letting. Is it no wonder that those who could best serve in an elected position will not run because of the personal attacks they and their families would have to suffer?
Your question did not make Tom Wells despicable. That took years of dedication.
I agree that the tone of today's politics keeps alot of very good people out of races. I have heard that some of the folks who lost some of last years elections are geared up to absolutely punish and gut those who throw their hats in the ring in 2008. Round and round we go, where we stop....
Doesn't the Constitution prohibit the use of public funds to buy private entertainment? Why don't we just buy a suite and tickets to the next LSU bowl game and distibute them to "VIP's"?
the most filthy hotel room he's ever been in... the Alexander Fulton... this is disgusting.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=x6Li5KSXwwE
who is in charge of maintenance at the Alexander Fulton?
OMG!!! That is so embarassing for the city.
Louis Marshall is the maintenance supervisor at the old Holiday Inn. That video was disturbing.
Hey waterslide it looks like you need to move to Natchitoches - they got themselves a waterpark before Alexandria. Imagine that.

I guess somebody doesn't want this seen any longer - I get this is a private video when I tried to visit.
Well, I saw it and it made the Alexander Fulton look like a disgusting dump.
It didn't MAKE it look like a dump.......

Is the Alexandria City Employees Credit Union a City of Alexandria Agency or a non-profit private business? Wonder why the City would be trying to furnish a utility to these folks?
Should have said furnish a utility to these folks for free.
"Wonder why the City would be trying to furnish a utility to these folks?"
Oh I don't know maybe because like every other home or business in the city, they receive there essential services froom the City.
"Should have said furnish a utility to these folks for free."
Waste no more time.....please contact the Legislative Auditor immediately. God help us!!

Nice hat Rosa. I didnt know that the Guardia Angels had a chapter in Smithville.
Gee noone knows whether or not the Alexandria City Employees Credit Union gets free utilities?
I heard that people living on the river get free water. Is that true?
Lincoln-Mercury dealer closing.....so sorry. Who will care for our cars?

Did you know that 'anybody can get you a check but that Neblit Beard and Arseneaux are attorneys that can help you get your life back" ? That is about as believable as Thomas Wahlder appealing to us to use him cause he is differnt than the insurance companies because all they care about is the money. ..Pass the chicken
I see nothing wrong with making a living, whether it be by selling shoes, selling cars,selling bread, providing medical care or even being a lawyer.
But I do wish they would be honest about it, and not tell us that they are making their bucks by some social motive. There is nothing wrong with admitting that you are in it for the money.
Rocky Wilson is the best bet in the judges race. He is running against a total political hack and the world's worst bitch.
Laura Sylvester is running for Judge?
Rumor on the street is that Greg Upton and David Lind may be running.
What's up with the "Menard Mafia" I have heard that they have targeted seven different political offices and are willing to do anything to get their hands on them.
As of now they hold the Alexandria mayor's seat, Sheriff's seat, and the 25 District seat. Left to go is: 2 seats on the 9th JDC, The DA's chair, and the US 5th Cong seat.
As I see it they have been lucky so far.
You need to ask John Flynn who is going to win those positions. He appears to be the "decider".
John Flynn is a pimple on a Gnat's ass.
First time he gets into a real political gunfight, he'll fold.
Betcha Mike Slocum wished Flynn and a few of his lawyer friends were pimples on his ass. Whether they are good at picking winners or making winners - no difference. The bottom line is that the "old guard" is falling away and they can't stand to see that power bleed off. Let's see what happens in the Judge, City Marshall and DA races. My bet is they stay out of all of those unless one of them runs.
Has anyone noticed that on Lamar's website he posts an article titled "A Reason for Republicans to Worry"... If you click on the article you will clearly see that two comments have been left (one of which was left by Lamar himself). If you read his additional comment you might notice the last line where he states, "I think Obama would easily carry Rapides Parish over any Republican challenger. No question". He totally has the right to his opinion...but this just goes to show you how out of touch this guy must be. Another out of touch liberal working for our liberal mayor.
Does Lamar still work for the City of Alexandria and is he the spokesman for the Mayor? I am interested to know if when he speaks that we can infur that he is speaking for the city
Without a doubt, Slocum was, and still is, the best man for the job of Sheriff. Sometimes the best man doesn't win. Slocum made two fatal errors. First, he let his campaign be run by a guy from Baton Rouge who has not won a race in Rapides Parish in 15 years. Second, he allowed himself to be painted as the incumbent during an election cycle that threw every incumbent out of office.
In short, Chuck Wagner didn't beat Slocum...John Flynn didn't beat Slocum...Slocom and his team beat Slocum.
Like the other poster said, when Flynn gets into a real political race, he'll fold like a cheap pup tent in a high wind.
Define a "real race." If it is neither: Roy v. Brewer, Roy v. Maxwell, Wagner v. Slocum - what is? I'm seriously asking. You are correct, Slocum was a bafoon politically. However, with $700,000, endorsement from the popular incumbent and an army of deputies working for me, I think I could get Barney Fife elected sheriff. I'm not a Flynn worshiper he had lots of smart people helping him - but come on - give the guy a little credit. He's not magic - even he couldn't get Tom Searcy elected city judge but he's been an asset to every candidate he's helped since then. Unlike Roach - he's willing to learn from his mistakes.
Let's look at each race shall we?
We find a sort of commonality with Roy VS Brewer and Slocum VS Wagner, that is the political environment.
In both races the public was ready for change and voted that way. With Brewer, I could have run a chimpanzee and beaten her after the "rape" issue, the brown pig issue, and her haughty attitude.
With Slocum, even a half-assed political observer could see that Jindal had whipped the entire state into a term limit, anti-incumbent, throw the bastards out mentality. Slocum should have run AWAY from Hilton in public. The second mistake Roach made was allowing Slocum to speak in public. When you have a candidate who is a weak public speaker, you don't let him get in front of a mic.
Also, the tattle-tale deputy, Michelle Goddard fiasco was handled poorly. You cannot get into a pissing contest with the media, even if they have been paid off by your opposition. Slocum should have attacked Goddard's sources, not the TV station. Let the public see that Goddard is nothing more than an a bubble headed ex bikini model who doesn't verify her sources. The original complaint was against Hilton, not Slocum. Had Slocum distanced himself from Hilton and made public that he had taken a leave of absence 6 months earlier, he would have not been tagged. Another huge mistake by David Roach that cost Slocum and played right into the hands of Wagner.
As to the Roy VS Maxwell race, we should be asking why Flynn could not engineer a bigger win than he did. C'mon, Chris Roy, one of the political princes of Louisiana against a wet behind the ears, mama's boy with no experience? There should have never been a runoff.
No, John Flynn was lucky to have fallen into three races where the opposition candidate was either weak or damaged. Like I said before, when he gets in a real race, against a experienced candidate, he'll drown.
So will Flynn help Clarence Fields get reelected as mayor of Pineville so he can then run for Senate to fill Jo Mcs seat? See, thats whats hidden in the emails at Pineville City hall. A plan to run . Maybe a request for JUST that email would be interesting.
Fields won't win reelection much less take on the big field that will be lining up for Jo Mcs seat in 4 years.
You talked a lot about what aint a real race. What is? The grapes I'm smellin are SOUR and they not Boone's Farm are they. Is that you Mikey?
no sour grapes at all, just a FACTUAL look at the races Flynn has been involved in.
Since last November, the "Menard Mafia" has tried to make Flynn look like a political god. In truth, he's pretty dumb when it comes to politics. So far he's been lucky, but in politics luck only carries you so far...
That's not Mikey - that is Henry. Come on Henry - there's room for more than 1 kingmaker, eh? Play nice.
Anybody notice that Little Lamar's writings are getting more and more radical? and more and more shrill? He's beginning to sound like a proper little socialist.
Next thing you know, he'll try and convince us that an inexperienced one term Senator deserves to be President.
How about it Lamar? You ready to convert to Islam and vote for Obama? I bet you're marking your office walls so you'll know which way is east.
With Chambers back, can Errol Dorsey be far behind?
Give 'em time, they'll all be back. Jacques Roy is a little slower study than most lawyers. It took him a little more than a year to realize that he doesn't know shit about running a city.
He talks when he should listen, and he has made some horrible staffing decisions.
The only bright spot in Alexandria City Government is Chuck Johnson
I like Flynn. The problem is that he is accumulating a massive mob of bitter enemies. There's nothing more dangerous in politics than leaving a bunch of wounded and pissed off dogs behind as you blaze a trail to glory. Sooner, or even sooner, the pack catches up with you and devours you and those whom you helped to elevate.
To Anon Monday, January 28, 2008 6:26:00 PM
You are blaming David Roach for too much. A political consultant can only advise his candidate, not control him. Slocum was advised by Mr. Roach not to participate in any debates because he would loose votes. Mike Slocum believed that he could do anything that he wanted to do. He did not and would not listent to his advisor. He believed that with the endorsement of Hilton and his vast money that he was unbeatable. Boy, was he wrong. I have spoken to Mike Slocum since the election and he still dosen't get it.
You say that Mike Slocum should have distanced himself from WEH. If you notice he took the endorcement of WEH all during the election and spoke of it at every function and toward the end kept saying that "I am not the sheriff". He tried to distance himself from WEH at the end but people saw through it.
I believe that you are right that people were ready for a change. This is what I heard when I spoke to friends about the election. It is time for a change and if Mike Slocum would have been elected there would not have been a change.
I do believe you need to give credit where credit is due. Even though Slocum shot himself in the foot, if the voters would not have had a viable candidate to vote for (Chuck Wagner), Slocum would probably have won. Chuck Wagner won the election because he gave the voters a new option. John Flynn did not win the election for him. John Flynn has not won any election, it was the candidate.
If your candidate does not win you should be sad but not bitter. Always give the winner a chance to prove himself. You may change your mind ablout the candidate before the next election. If you don't, you have the right to vote your belief. That is the American way.
With all due respect Horace, you don’t know WTF you’re talking about. First, David Roach does his own polling and the numbers are faulty. He lost the last race for DA in Winn Parish. He lost an EASY race in District 22 to an althimerz ridden, old man because his poll numbers are faulty. In this last election cycle, he managed 5 campaigns across the state and lost them all. I was there, in Slocum’s Alexandria campaign office when Slocum asked Roach about the debate. Roach looked Slocum right in the eye and told him “you don’t have any choice.”
This race was Slocum’s to lose, and he lost it, no doubt. But to say that Roach did not have a hand in the loss, shows that you don’t have a clue.
althimerz-are you serious, what a fucking idiot
It is telling that your ability to respond meaningfully to a post is a spelling cite and a sophomoric insult. You should recognize your profound limitations - everyone else does.
Typical liberal response. Focus on a spelling error and attempt to minimize the overall message. I think the guy is right, despite his spelling limitations. I also think the Flynn detractors have hit a nerve. If the Roy and Wagner clan are depending on Flynn to be their Moses, they will be wandering in the desert next election cycle.
Historicaly, "kingmakers" live a short political life. They practice slash and burn politics in order to get their "bosses" elected, this creates countless wounded wolves who lose their power at the hands of the kingmaker and they spend their days dreaming of revenge.
Eventually, politcal fortunes change and the wolves break down the kings door. The king quickly offers up the kingmaker's head on a platter in an attempt to appease the wolves. The kingmaker is destroyed and the kings appeasment attempt is usually not effective.
*For recent political reference, see Karl Rove.
You need to see Rove's estate in the Texas hill country and rethink your theory. Demagogues like Newt crash and burn but the Roves, Carvilles, and Flynns just keep on truckin.
"Historicaly, "kingmakers" live a short political life. They practice slash and burn politics in order to get their "bosses" elected, this creates countless wounded wolves who lose their power at the hands of the kingmaker and they spend their days dreaming of revenge."
It has been my observation that "wounded wolves" usually have very sharp teeth and a unique determination to use them. Locally, these wolves are not nearly as powerless as the Menard Mafia would have the public believe.
Flynn has not the experience or the support to weather the political storm gathering on the horizon.
"...revenge is a dish best served cold."
Unfortunately you are as ungraceful with metaphor as you are with human nature or dynamic analysis. It is much easier to gain power and influence thru association and cooperation than thru predation. You might remember that wolves were well on their way to extinction until revived by kindness and conservation. Vendetta is a pretty poor path to glory. Better to be on Flynn's side.
Besides that story about that guy who decorated his room with stuffed animals, subscribed to People and US weekly, loved figure skating, and never missed Sex in the City, those last posts are some of the gayest things I have ever read.
Waterslide, your intellect has always been suspect based on your previous postings but your last is entirely confirmatory.
Is the Richard Heath accused of fucking the city the same guy who periodically appears on hear demanding honest government and wanting to duel his detractors at a local greasy spoon. What goes arround . . . . .
"Better to be on Flynn's side."
Duhhhh Yeah, if you like being one of the sheep that gets chased down and has their throats torn out.
Wounded wolves can be bad news...
Hey Clayray. Other than looking for publicity and going to tree plantings,beautypagents, every MLK celebration ANYONE will put on , free footballgames, conventions out of town, and do nothing meetings where other people have something to say what the hell do you do as Mayor? Can you spell over exposure? The Senate race aint for 4 more years.
Very surprised at the lack of comments about Harold Chambers' failed attempt to get a contract with the city. Like him or not, he does have more operational experience than anyone currently up there. Guess Harold's pretty PO'd at Myron, Roosevelt, Louis and Everett.
Never understood why a lawyer was named as Roy's chief of staff.
Does Fields honestly think he could be elected as Senator? I have heard this several places and each time people say no way. I have not heard anyone say that they heard Fields say it so I am guessing its just a rumor. I keep hearing that he will not even be reelected Mayor so it might all be propoganda put out by that fat crewcuted guy.
Sounds like the ambitions of others .
movin on up.
The City Attorney Mr. Johnson appeared to do a great job on misleading the council as to the suit againwt ANNRICH. In response to Mr. Silver's question as to whether or not it would be handled by in-house attorneys Mr. Johnson should have replied: "no, it has been handled by the law firm of Bussey and Lauve (outside counsel)since the termination of Mrs. Laura Sylvester."
Also, though it matters little, in the City's opinion $64,000.00+ is owed, not $100,000.00+.
Wasn't this request for a Resolution prefaced by the Administration wanting to do everything they could to have an amiable working relationship with the Council and immediately thereafter Johnson waltzes the Council around with half facts.

These last three posts prove that Greg Aymond and his minions are so bored with his blog, they come here to post and steal the ideas of others.
That may or not be so but what does it do to disprove the facts cited?
No matter what blog the actions of the City Attorney is posted on it does little to disprove he mislead the Council. This alone should provide credence to the need for independent counsel for the council instead of being informed by omeone married to the dministration.
Of course the City Attorney serves at the pleasure of the Mayor so he has to back hs position.
ANON SAID: "These last three posts prove that Greg Aymond and his minions are so bored with his blog, they come here to post and steal the ideas of others."
As a matter of fact, I recorded the video of the Harold Chambers debate live off of Channel 4 and imediately posted it on my blog. While the video was uploaded, I was contacted by Mr. Heath who also subsequently sent me some supprting documentation.
I can assure you that, since this blog is infested with lies and unsupported inuendos, I do not come on here to steal ideas. And, as a side note, my blog has a much larger readership than this blog.
I still believe that the City Charter precludes the Councuil to hire idependant lawyers, and I am simply reporting proveable facts.
So once again your feeble attempts to discredit me have failed.
"So once again your feeble attempts to discredit me have failed.
Us discredit you Gregg???? What a laugh! Soooo I guess now you're trying a new career since the lawyerin' didn't work out too well for you. But seriously Gregg, the comic career might be right up your alley, you sure have the looks of a clown!
As to your pitiful excuse for a blog...several people that I know say you begged them to visit your site just to drive the hits up.
Let's compare numbers to a real site. Hmmmm how about you against Moon's site, or TDP, or even we saw that....face it Gregg, you come up short.(pardon the pun)
Oh, by the way, when are you going to take J. Reister up on his challenge to an open debate in a forum where you can't alter the evidence. We all know that you can get very "creative" with evidence Gregg.
On Friday the 25th of January I submitted a request to Mrs. Thiels, Custodian of Records, City of Alexandria for access to the following: The document, resolution or whatever authorizing the City of alexandria to file a lawsuit against ANNRICH and Richard Heath during the month of April 1977. The other request was for the document stating Michael marcotte is the only person authorized to sign off on request for permits for the City of Alexandria.
My request was met by a phone call from Mr. Johnson stating I could obtain this information for free under discovery in the lawsuit. I reiterated I wanted access to the documents. Mr. Johnson informed me that I would be called when the copies were ready. Monday morning I sent Mr. Johnson the following e-mail: "Dear Mr. Johnson:
I was left somewhat confused by our telephone conversation of Friday, January 25, 2008 as relates to my request for access to that documentation (be it whatever - a Resolution, a Code or other document) authorizing Ms. Laura Sylvester to file a lawsuit against ANNRICH, INC and Richard J. Heath.
During this conversation you referred to cost I would incur by utilizing the request instead of obtaining the document(s) under discover. For informational purposes I have attached pertinent extracted paragraphs of RS: 44 to minutely detail what I desire. I desire access to read the applicable Authority. I have not asked you to make copies of anything.
If this e-mail is not sufficiently clear as to my desires please let me know.

B.(1) If the public record applied for is immediately available, because of its not being in active use at the time of the application, the public record shall be immediately presented to the authorized person applying for it. If the public record applied for is not immediately available, because of its being in active use at the time of the application, the custodian shall promptly certify this in writing to the applicant, and in his certificate shall fix a day and hour within three days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays, for the exercise of the right granted by this Chapter.
(2) The fact that the public records are being audited shall in no case be construed as a reason or justification for a refusal to allow inspection of the records except when the public records are in active use by the auditor.
Amended by Acts 1978, No. 686, §1; Acts 1982, No. 567, §1."
In my opinion Mr. Johnson's actions during the City Council meeting was to be sure the lawsuit filed almost a year ago and is being handled by outside counsel had the blessing of the Counsel. In order to obtain this blessing he had to spin the story.
Richard J. Heath
oh by the way I still have not had my request for access o public records responded to.
As to the merits of the case in question - that is what the court system is for - to decide who is guilty and who is innocent.
Richard J. Heath
Hey dont you complain want to experience total disregard for public access try asking for emails from Pineville
Hey Aymond...maybe it's just you. I have filed two different public records requests related to the City of Pineville and BOTH were responded to. I first got to look at them on a computer and they then printed out what I requested. Maybe you shouldn't have asked for every email they have received since Al Gore created the internet.
Or maybe he should have just kissed their ass and acted like you work for them instead of them working for us. Maybe then he would have gotten a donut and coffee as they decided what they would LET you see. Such sheep.
Or maybe you should try asking yourself and forming your own opinions instead of relying on some bullshit lies that Aymond made up.
Nothing uncovers the truth as fast as personal experience.
Aymond is the epitome of a scumbag lawyer. If you trust what he says as truth, you're a fool.
Aymond might not be a senior partner in Bendem, Rollemover and Dickem but one would think his success rate is pretty high which is what counts when you need a lawyer. Bet if the poster needed a lawyer Aymond would be his first choice for several reasons. Number 1 being the poster could not afford Mike Small..
Also I forget the term for the word useage but isn't scumbag lawyer kinda like military intelligence. Lawyers come in two types sharks and bottom feeders.
Kinda harsh for some chickenshit that calls himself ANONYMOUS.
Ahhhh I see that Aymond still reads this blog and still feels the need to defend himself.
Nice try Greggy, you're still a scumbag. Spin it any way you like, you still get your ass beat in court 9 times out of 10, and you still can't beat Jimmy Faircloth.
A check of court records shows you have lost just about every action you have taken against Fields, and Pineville.
Maybe you should change your name to Don Quixote
See Greg - they act exactly like the republicans you adore. WMDs and Iraq's involvement in 911 - all proven false but, like the untrue insults they hurl at you, still very much the chorus of their choir. And like the republicans you adore, I don't resent their bad judgment or personal motives as much as I resent their powerful disdain for the truth. Welcome to the dark side.
"Welcome to the dark side."
Welcome???? Greg has been operating on the dark side for years. Let's see: Active in the KKK, white supremist, and skinhead groups; community liar; political criminal (he, along with Doug Byrd,shredded and burned thousands of incriminating documents when he was atty for WW #3)and proven falsfier of evidence.
Dark side??? Aymond has dwelt there for years. The only thing white about little Greggy is the sheets hanging in his closet.
So we have to evaluate relative ugliness. What's worse: making bad choices in one's youth, recognizing the error of one's ways, and correcting the course of one's life - or being actively involved in present cowardly sniping with unfair and untrue accusations?
One has redeemed himself and turned to productive conduct and one is still mired in cowardess, deception, and malice. go figure
Sorry Hizzoner, your Pollyanna attitude is wrong on both counts.
"...recognizing the error of one's ways, and correcting the course of one's life - or being actively involved in present cowardly sniping with unfair and untrue accusations?
Aymond has not corrected the course of his life, look at what he is involved in and his current writings! Look at who he attacks. A black mayor and black members of a city council. Look at who he defends. The Nationalist Movement, a group of racists. No...he's still a Kluker. He has just gotten better at hiding, but actions speak louder than words.
I also believe that the majority of people who are capable of making a reasonable moral judgement would tell you that supporting avowed racists is a much worse offense than pointing those racists out to the public.
Ever notice how Fields and Dupree try to take credit for EVERYTHING that happens in Pineville. Does anyone believe for a second that any of these million dollar investments are in ANY way credited to Clayray and Dupar? If so then I guess Jaques Roy should be standing out side of Circuit City and taking credit for the new paper plant. But he is not. Neither is Fred Baden standing around taking credit for the Walmart or the Super One that came to Pineville when he was Mayor. These people are dangerous . They are the poster children of image over substance. Clearly ambition is their lord and savior. And people over there seem to be finally realiZing it. The fact that Clayray is now doing more and more on our side of the river, when he is in town, tells me he has some illusions of bigger things. Well, survey says he dont survive reelection to Mayor.
"Well, survey says he dont survive reelection to Mayor."
You're a funny guy, ya really are! Morons are often comical! But, you need a new pollser.
Circuit City, Academy, etc came to Alexandria DESPITE Ned, Jacques, and the "get mine 'cause it's my turn" council.
Lowe's, Country Inns and Suites, The Pineville Convention Center are there BECAUSE of Fields and his team.
Can any of them at City Hall even spell CON VEN TION CENTER?
Can you??? Without a dictionary or spell check? Do you know what indoor plumbing is? How about your mother...isn't she also your sister?
Geeeezzzeee! You backwoods slugs are a disgrace.
Take your third grade degree and slink back to 5th Ward.
Form over substance. You, sir or madame, give pussy a bad name.
And you sir, are what you claim has suffered insult.
Both of you gentlemen reveal something of your personal preferences by viewing pussy as a bad thing. Pussy can be your friend.
For months I have been watching as the local bloggers beat their chests and proclaim that their blog is the way to political enlightenment.
Greg Aymond is famous for deleting posts that contradict his views, or challenge his twisted “facts.” I have challenged him in this forum as well as his own. The posts I place here, appear on this blog, the posts I place on Aymond’s blog do not.
Now another local blogger has joined the ranks of those who squelch any voice of opposition.
After Lamar White posted his tome anointing Barack Obama as the messiah destined to lead us into social utopia, I blasted Lamar about Obama’s lack of administrative experience, his past political ties to terrorist groups, his illegal drug use, voting record, and a host of other activities that show his poor judgment. In short, Obama is not fit to be president of the United States.
I guess the facts were too much for Lamar. He deleted my post.
I suspect this is the norm for Lamar in his personal as well as professional life. His “don’t confuse me with the facts” attitude is just fine for someone who is not in a position to influence public policy, however, Lamar is practicing this same philosophy while serving the public as a staff member to Mayor Jacques Roy, and getting paid by our tax dollars.
To say the least, I’m a bit uncomfortable with Lamar’s policy of silencing those that disagree with his socialistic views.
Which leads me to ask...Is Lamar being influenced by the underlying political philosophy of Jacques Roy? Or, is he whispering those socialistic views to our Mayor?
Either is unacceptable in my view.
Amazing. I see opposing comments on both blogs. Why are they just picking on you? Or could it be that you are full of shit?
I agree. During the last mayor's race, Lamar ran around making noise like he was conservative and pro-business.
I guess Lamar is real good at lies and deception. He's sure talking like a socialist now.
Is it just me or has anybody else noticed that issues are seldom discussed on this blog, and instead it seems centered on trashing people?
I have not deleted a single comment regarding the candidacy of Barack Obama, and I always welcome a rigorous debate on the issues.
I'm not sure why you feel inclined to lie about my actions and misrepresent my beliefs, particularly considering that this was completely unprovoked.
But it doesn't surprise me: This type of deception/ personal attack is a hallmark of this blog.
This comment is pointed at this guy:

You may be right and this Reister guy might be full of shit, but take a close look at the responses to Aymond and White. They are a little weak and and easy to put down.
This Reister guy seems pretty smart. Perhaps neither Aymond or White wants to tangle with him.
I read this blog often and Reister has called Aymond out before. His gripes always seem to center around Aymond deleting his posts.
You got busted Reister. Your comment about Aymond and White says anonymous, so how did Anon at 9:38:00 AM know the original post wqas made by Reister?
Obviously both anon posts were made by Reister. You don't seem to be too smart afterall. HaHa .
The surest way to chaos and tyranny is to silence independent thinking. By silencing those who oppose their singular point of view, they hope to keep their thoughts alive, while killing off the opposition.
Lamar, Aymond, radical Moslems, Nazis, all use the same tool. Silence the independent voice and continue your own brand of propaganda.
Their thought is…”A lie, told often enough, soon becomes truth.”
