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 (??)

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1304 Newer› Newest»Horace, you're just as anonymous as anyone else on here. Think before you type. I've seen your past remarks, and you've based plenty of your opinions on unproven allegations.
Well, to try to provide some info, I went to Martindale-Hubbell, but only Gremillion's info was listed:
Shannon J. Gremillion, b. 1970; BBA ULM 1991; JD LSU 1995. I know he worked at Bolen for a few years in the mid-90s, then went to Lafayette when his wife got a high paying drug rep job; worked at Briney & Foret there, doing same type insurance defense work. Returned to Alexandria around 2004, first to Mike Johnson's office, then to Bolen Firm, where he is presently.
Maybe someone could put up Loren's info; and I hear one of the Knoll boys is looking into the race.
http://lampertforjudge.com/home.htm
for biographical information on Lampert
While other "courthouse crows," like Aymond, wallow in speculation, I prefer to deal in fact. Aymond has an axe to grind with Faircloth simply because Faircloth is well respected, while Aymond is a well-known bottom feeder.
Here’s the truth on the Faircloth/Coushatta case:
The Tribe elected new leadership, and decided to change attorneys. THEY contacted FAIRCLOTH and requested that he take over representation of the tribe. He told them he could not discuss any ongoing legal work that Provost Umphrey was performing for the tribe, but if the tribe wished to change attorneys, they were within their rights to do so. The new Tribal Council voted to hire the Faircloth Firm and fire Provost Umphrey. Once Faircloth was hired, the firm sent notification to Provost Umphrey that the Tribal Council had voted to replace them.
The situation with the tribe was akin to you hiring a house painter. The painter arrives on the job and begins work. Soon after he tells you that his bid to paint your house is too low and he will lose money. He ceases work until you agree to pay him more.
You are within your rights as a homeowner to kick the painter off your property, and hire a new painter. The only legal requirement you have is to pay the painter for the work performed at the agreed on price. You ARE NOT required to pay the painter for the entire cost of the job, or compensate him in any other way except for work performed.
One other thing...notice how our fat little friend Aymond is very careful to use the word "alleged" and "possibly" and "may have" when talking about Faircloth?
In all of his other posts, when Aymond screams about one of his political enemies, he is quick to declare them a crook, or brand them as "unethical."
Why?
Because Aymond knows that Faircloth will mop the courthouse floor with him AGAIN if he lies about him.
Perhaps our fat little dunce needs to get better acquainted with part 4.1 of the Code of Professional Conduct and stop speculating about cases not heard.
Unless you are a) Faircloth b) Vilar c) or Elliot.....how would you be in a position to have ANY facts on what did or did not happen?
"...how would you be in a position to have ANY facts on what did or did not happen?"
You dumbass, you think that firm has only three lawyers? And how about Faircloth's ex law partner, Judge Davidson?
How about members of the Coushatta Tribal Council and those close to them? How about competing casino operations? If you think the Tunicas in Marksville don't keep up with other tribes in the state, you're a fool!
And what about the other members of the local bar? They have regular social affairs where this kind of stuff is talked about openly...no secrets among them.
The only thing they keep quiet about is the place and time so Aymond won't barge in...
This guy Lawyer Bill sounds like he knows what he's talking about and you sound like an idiot.
Not so. I think that "lawyer bill" is what he owes for the bad advice he apparently got. Pay it then shut up.
Your momma.
You leave my momma out of this and I will leave this out of your momma.
keep it clean fellows.
Up to this point, I have steadfastly defended Mayor Roy and his efforts to move Alexandria in the right direction, even recognizing that he was making certain unsavory accomodations to politics in order to accomplish the greater goal. But this rips it.
The appointment of an out-of-town not particularly gifted criminal lawyer as co-bond council reeks of the absolute worst that Alexandria has ever had to offer. Maybe he can justify it in his own mind by holding his nose and moving forward but the kind of total reversal in all that he preached and promoted just can not be tolerated.
If Roy continues to permit obvious graft and corruption to placate certain "interests" of the Council and other powers that be, he will forever lose whatever moral authority and ethical capital he earned through our landslide support. I doubt that Roy's chief apologist, Lamar, will be able to suggest a rational justification for this horrible lapse.
Come on Jacques. Don't turn into what we all wanted to fight and eliminate in government. If you blow your self-respect on this issue, you will never regain it in the eyes of your followers, much less your detractors.
Don't turn the blue and yellow JACQUES campaign sticker on my Honda window into a badge of shame.
Who is the lawyer, anonymous.
Also, what is "co-bond" counsel?
I would suggest that you use google to get your answers. It might be faster.
"Anonymous said...
One of the appeals court candidates is invited to attend the La. Judges Conference in Florida this week to conduct a class on certain fundamental constitutional legal issues. I wonder who that is????????
Tuesday, June 10, 2008 9:45:00 AM"
My guess is that it is the candidate who actually knows something about constitutional legal issues and has practiced in that area. Sounds like someone is unhappy that they did not get an invite to the party. Probably would not be too welcome among judges right now, anyway.
from today's Town Talk disclosure:
If it will shed some light, Bridget Brown, that well known utilities litigator and bonding expert, was the co-bond counsel on the previous issue. Things don't change, they just let a new white guy pretend he's in charge--------
Foley & Judell, LLP, with offices in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The firrm specializes in municipal and corporate finance. The firm, founded in 1919, provided bonding counsel to the city of Alexandria in 2004. It has provided bond counsel for state and local governments across Louisiana. As part of the SPARC plan, Foley & Judell will handle $25 million in sales tax bonds and will be co-counsel for $15 million in limited-tax revenue bonds.
Carol D. Powell Lexing, based in Monroe. She is most recently known for her representation of "Jena Six" member Mychal Bell. According to Lexing's Web site, she specializes in criminal defense, personal injury, car accidents, construction injuries, divorce, civil rights, discrimination and other criminal matters. Powell will be retained as co-bond counsel for the $25 million issue.
"Carol D. Powell Lexing, based in Monroe. She is most recently known for her representation of "Jena Six" member Mychal Bell.

Powell will be retained as co-bond counsel for the $25 million issue."
She will then split her considerable fee with Bridget Brown and Brown's handler, Myron Lawson. As an attorney, Mayor Roy is well aware of how the system works and must give his approval to this sham in order for Lawson, Brown and Lexing to pull it off. Mayor Roy also has the authority to stop this obvious corruption...if he chose to do so.
What say you now Lamar, about your icon's feet of clay?
. . . . this time I think he stepped in more that "clay . . . .
It has been my consistant observation that while Lamar may address lofty concepts of social justice, he is not worth shit at handling issues of real substance like this consultant deal.
And there's really no mystery - Roy let his greed, insecurity, and pragmatism "blossom". It just took some of his diciples longer than others to get the message.
And what is this other BS? Sen Lafluer (the deciding vote for the arrogant pay raise) is going to be hired by the city as a consultant?
If the man has no clue what a reasonable salary is for a part-time legislator, how can we trust his billable hours?
Or is this just a f'ed up way of "thanking" the Sen for getting big brother a raise?
State Sen. Eric LaFleur will be co-bond counsel for the $15 million issue. He was a contributor to Roy's mayoral campaign.
Roy had said LaFleur's "significant" contribution was made with no expectations.
Uh, right
Same old story. Only the names and skin color change. Instead of Brown getting in with Lawson, we now got LafFleur getting in with the Roys.
What's really funny to watch is CenLamar's attempt to justify the continued abuse of Alexandria citizens at the hands of his boss, and the city council.
They're cut from the same cloth.
Well, at least all the local payoff isn't going to someone connected to the city counsel. Besides, Lafleur is a Coonass-American from Ville Platte, and thus a deserving minority. Aieeee!
Now Now! Lamar has opined, with great authority, that the energy problem is international. What insight! What fresh, novel, and courageous opinions. I only hope that he will share his theory of gravity and global warming in the near future. If cut and paste were an olympic event, he would be on his way to China right now.
All this goes to show that the apple does not fall far from the tree.
Little Chris and Jock-strap are just as crooked as their Daddy.
Oh and another thing. Mom, Dad.... I am gay.
Just because I say something you do not agree with doesn't mean you have to insinuate that I like to gargle other guys nads. You are very childish. And for your information I told my mom and dad when I was in high school.
I knew it! I knew it!!!
Now it's confirmed....
Lamar is gay!!!!
You bunch are poor excuses for human beings. You cannot discuss issues, because you are too ignorant. All you can do is be as un-Christian as you can and lie about people. This blog is a cesspool.
So the jackasses in Baton Rouge have voted themselves a huge payraise! Well, I will vote for anyone but my current representative in the next election!
Who is your current rep.? Because Roy and Hazel and even Sen, Joe voted against it. Only Dixon voted for it.
doesnt matter. roys brother but that damn senator to work that was the deciding vote for lil chris and the rest to get a phat raise
"You bunch are poor excuses for human beings. You cannot discuss issues, because you are too ignorant. All you can do is be as un-Christian as you can and lie about people. This blog is a cesspool."
This blog is intended for those of us that have above average intelligence and can discern the worthy comments from those posted by the rabble.
You obviously fall in with the unwashed, low brow, cretins who frequent this site. Therefore, in the future, you shall be ignored.
It may help you to decide your vote in the appeals court race, to know that Gregory Aymond is firmly behind Shannon Gremillion. No inference here. Draw your own conclusions.
Is shannon still a republican or did he convert?
Dixon is my current representative. I voted for him in his first run for this seat. But I will never vote for him again. And I will try to convince all of my friends living in his district to vote against him in the next election. He should his true colors by voting for this pay raise. I hope he enjoys his seat while he has it, but I hope it is only for one term.
"It may help you to decide your vote in the appeals court race, to know that Gregory Aymond is firmly behind Shannon Gremillion."
Liar liar pants on fire. Here is what Aymond wrote on his blog today "I am unable to support Mr. Gremillion for the Court of Appeal seat being vacated by his father" when he printed a donor list of those really supporting Gremillion.
That doesn't sound too firm to me.
Please excuse the error in my posting about Herbert Dixon. It should read "He showed his true colors".
Hey, I went to Catholic school for twelve years, give me a break. You want me to do penance for the error? OK, OK I will say three Hail Marys.
From the looks of Gremillions invitation, he should be the republican and Lampert should be the democrat. These two got it backassward!
Sha Sha was a republican. He must have seen the Obama light and converted.
Here's a campaign fact that many don't know. If a candidate spends money on his campaign to further his efforts BEFORE he formally announces, he does not have to report the expense.
Example, if someone from Avoyelles Parish spent mega-bucks on opposition research BEFOER he announces, that expense does not have to be named in any campaign finance reports.
Little Shay-Shay is being looked at HARD.
The Campaign Finance and Campaign Ethics regulations are radically different in judicial elections and it may be worthwhile for everyone to become familiar with those rule before any related expenditures or solicitations.
It's amazing how little these folks know about the law.
To the previous poster:
I agree, they are different. But the fact remains, until a candidate declares, he is not a candidate, and therefore an expense that cannot be traced directly to the campaign, need not be reported.
If a private citizen contracts for "opposition research" on a particular candidate, and then, at a later date decides to declare himself, that research expense does not need to be reported.
Perhaps it is you who needs to become familiar with the law....
I am painfully familiar with the law and its application and enforcement. Your opponent will stick your imprudence up your ass sideways. Folks like you make Louisiana politics fun to watch. You want a job interpreting the rules but you just don't quite know how to follow 'em. They never apply to you, just the other fellow - just what we need on the appellate bench.
"I am painfully familiar with the law and its application and enforcement."
By "painfully" I must assume that you have been disbarred for malpractice, or had some other punitive action taken against you because of your ineptitude regarding the practice of law.
To set the record straight, I am not a candidate, and do not support Little Shay-Shay or his declared opponent, “Bass Man” Lampert.
Please post again soon…we could all stand a good laugh.
Actually, by painfully familiar I mean that I have unfortunately been involved in a campaign in support of a short-cutter and amoral desperate candidate like poor bill. Bill appears to be advocating on behalf of the Avoyelles candidate - a true bastion of legal talent and ethics. Good luck bill. You need a "flexible friend" on the court. I hope they follow your sterling advice.
Bill, you may be surprised to know that there are attorneys out there who are actually asked and payed for their advice. You don't seem to be able to give your away. Most be a lonely life.
"Bill appears to be advocating on behalf of the Avoyelles candidate..."
Ahhh... another unproven supposition from the politically biased barrister.
Alas, you're wrong again.
I do not believe that appellate court jurist is an inherited position as the Knoll and Gremillion families do.
I also believe that Lampert does not possess the necessary temperament to be a judge at any level. My fondest hope is that a truly qualified candidate will emerge.
So far, my choice would be..."None of the above!"
And to this dullard:
"Bill, you may be surprised to know that there are attorneys out there who are actually asked and payed for their advice."
No surprise here... I have made a comfortable living from my legal advice.
By the way, the word is "paid." Please invest in a dictionary or learn to use spell check before you post again
Bill don't seem too busy. It must not take much to keep him "comfortable".
They say if somebody don't charge nothing for their advice they know what it's worth. He does appear to have a good eye for spelling, however.
Well, well, well.
It seems candidate Jindal must now come face-to-face with Gov. Jindal. I have seen his campaign mailer that says he will:
"prohibit" the legislature from taking a pay raise in the session the raise was voted on. The only way a gov. can prohibit anything is to veto it.
My, my, my. Wonder which "promise" he breaks? If he breaks the current promise he pisses off the legislature. If he breaks his campaign promise., can you spell "Buddy" Jindal? Remind you of another one term reform gov?
And before you get pissy. Yes I voted for him, twice. Won't next time though. If a poor dem. runs, I just won't vote!
Dear Dullard,
Once again I find myself in position to critique your posts. First it was your spelling problem, now it’s basic grammar.
"They say if somebody don't charge nothing for their advice they know what it's worth."
If someone "don’t charge nothing..." then they charge something. Since I do charge for my expertise in the law, then I have to agree with your post.
Secondly, "comfortable" is relative. My standard of "comfort" is higher than most. However, from your spelling and diction problems, I would propose that the simple addition of indoor plumbing would elevate your abode to "comfortable."
I nominate lawyer bill for the most obnoxious asshole of the week.
There is only one other lawyer that has the time and inclination to post on here with any frequency. Think about it. He ain't exactly known for his brilliance or sterling reputation either. I'm kinda glad bill's got something to do. His obvious absence of clients would make his idle hands the tools of all sorts of meaningless mayhem. Even good Lawyers ain't all that popular anyway.
Forget the 3rd Circuit race and Lawyer Bill's spare time.
What's the latest on the Alexandria Marshal's race? I hear Byrd is too sick to run again and his wife is ill also.
Who else is running, and just how sick is Marshal Byrd?
Jimmy Chevallier, Warden at DC-3 and ex-APD sargeant is running.
I also heard that Bill Penny, retired army general and son of Otis Penny is considering it. Penny is a hell of a guy. He would make a good "anything".
I heard Cecil "Gaylord" Brunson's name bandied about. He just retired as the HR guy at Crest Industries.
You morons! I did some checking and our buddy Lawyer Bill first posted on June 3. Since then he has posted 10 times in 15 days. Don’t look like he’s spending too much time here, it’s less than one post a day. He did post three times on June 17 though.
So let’s see... 3 posts in one day, at about 15 minutes per post. Looks like Lawyer Bill spent 45 minutes posting here last Tuesday. Most lawyers get about $175 an hour so Bill lost $131.25 by posting here.
Hell, I spend that much filling up my diesel pick-up.
You morons are probably employees of the DA's office and big fans of "Bass Man" Lampert. You probably posted here from work, costing public time and using public computers.
You know the old saying, "Those that can...do! Those that can't...work in the public sector!"
My bad. I thought the "lawyer bill fan" was the appliance that tries to move some of the hot air that gas bag bill generates when voicing his errant opinions on this blog. Sounds like you got a grudge against Lampert. That means you are lined up with Sha Sha, the Avoyelles bunch, or are somebody Lampert nailed on drug charges. Not that much difference.
I wish y'all would quit picking on Lawyer Bill but he just makes it sooooo easy......
Another Lawyer Bill Fan
Nope, I just know that Lampert is a time bomb waiting to go off. He still carries that "cop attitude" with him. You know, the one thst says, "I got me a gun, and a badge, so I'm better than you and you have to do like I tell you..."
He's got an inflated opinion of his legal ability, he's a coward, and if it weren't for the public payroll he's always been on...he would starve to death.
I don't know Gremillion or Knoll, but from what I hear they ain't any better.
And they all three speak highly of you too.
Wow! What a grudge. Your dope-dealing kid must have gotten 30 years in the slammer. Did you make the mistake of letter lawyer bill defend?
Truth hurts huh John? You can turn all your minions loose to spin Lampert any way you like, but he's damaged goods....
You won't get lucky with this race...
How was John able to get Lampert all those awards and comendations and honors from the profession and the judiciary and various bar associations and his church and citizens groups??
John didn't, Loren got them by his own merit.
"How was John able to get Lampert all those awards and comendations and honors from the profession and the judiciary and various bar associations and his church and citizens groups??"
Flynn didn't...Lampert lied, and spun, and conned, all on his own...
but he couldn't fool you could he ???
How could I not trust somebody named after bird lips? go bill
bird lips = bill
you are right, it's just too easy
No wonder Alexandris is last in every catagory that counts.
It's populated by these witty guys...
This town has a lock on stupid.
Dear Anonymous brother,
Your criticism cuts deeply. I have always had such high regard for anonymous snipers. They are obviously people of great courage, insight, and sensitivity. I will try to do better.
Just saw the Town Talk story about Darrel "Sticky" Ryland. Guess that explains why Union Bank has stopped making loans lately. He isn't too big on ethics anyway. Check out the loan closing process at the bank if you don't want him to close your loan (and screw up the title). I didn't think that a bank could tell a customer who they have to use to close a loan. With more investigation by the bar association, that could get him more than a slap on the wrist.
Looks like attorney Hammonds is out of trouble in Avoyelles Parish. Will the bar clear him too? The inmates at the parish jail are licking their lips hoping he can start making visits again.
What happened to our buddy Lawyer Bill?
He seems to have disappeared.
Lawyer Bill is probably at work making more money in a week than you suckers see in a lifetime.
Besides, he don't like Gremillion, Lampert or the Knowll kid. That makes him smarter than you assholes too.
Saw about a million Greg Beard signs in West Alexandria. I thought he was supposed to be the inexperienced light-weight.
Greg Beard has lots of friends, and a crooked brother.
I Remember seeing a lot of daddy Beard signs, too. he finished 3rd in a 3-way race.
I know they say signs don't vote but people vote and they are the ones flying the signs. I realize that Beard might be a poor lawyer and would make a poor judge but he might be a kick-ass candidate and that's where the action is. If you don't take Beard seriously you might be making a mistake.
A million? Geeeeeeee...
Let's be real here folks, an un-official count of signs actually in voters yards and not in vacant lots, street corners and other generic locations shows that Beard don't have that much support.
Like his daddy, he'll be a back of the pack runner.
Back of the pack is reserved for Hislop.
Hislop is well qualified, he's just unknown. On the other hand, Beard is more than well known, he's notorious. I cannot ever recall another 9JDC candidate with such a shady past.
I don't think Greg has a shady past...maybe you got him wrong, check it out.
Greg does not have a shady past. He's like little Lance. He has never really done anything bad, and he has never done anything good. He has never done anything at all.
Can a piss poor lawyer be a good judge? Hasn't happened so far.
Well I reckon you speak for all our judges. None of them were any good at lawyering.
What can you tell us about Mary Dogget. After Swent I'm not sure I want another female on the bench.
Believe me, you don't. Mary Dogget is an airhead.
"What can you tell us about Mary Dogget. After Swent I'm not sure I want another female on the bench."
Yes, Swent is proof of why we should never elect women. Women are too emotional to be judges.
Not quite true. Judge Koch is a great judge and totally unrattled. She is fair, patient, and in full control of her courtroom. Swent was not a bad judge because she's a woman but in spite of it.
As prophetically predicted some weeks ago, Loose Lips Lamar avoided the issue of the outrageous selection of some north Louisiana criminal attorney as a co-bond counsel. This reverberates Bridget Brown's halcyon days on the open end of the graft spigot. White is, in all respects, a whore, but I can't fathom Roy being sucked into this.
Will the city receive a new missive from the sheriff of the Kingdom of Hawaii after the removal of his houseboat?
Mary Doggett works about 2-3 days per week. She just wants an easy paycheck!
Looks like backtrack Bobby has done it again. He just vetoed the pay raise. Couldn't take the heat!
Hip, Hip Hooray for our governor. We are so proud of him. Ole Herbert needs to hide his ugly face in shame. Ole Herbert just looks out for himself. He is so greedy, Old Herbert, dirty dixson.
"Looks like backtrack Bobby has done it again. He just vetoed the pay raise. Couldn't take the heat!
You idiot! You moron! You imbecile!
You stupid, brainless, cretin, completely void of common sense and capacity for logic thought!
Jindal did EXACTALLY what the vast majority of voters wanted him to do. Isn’t that the hallmark of a public servant?
Yeah he did it only after his own supporters threatened to recall him, he had to defend his stupid bullshit logic on CNN, and 88% of Louisianans stood up against his bullshit.
Jindal ain't no hero. He's the imbecile. A one-termer for sure.

You dumbass.... You're not smart enough to understand any response, so I won't waste the time with an explanation.
To this idiot---->Monday, June 30, 2008 9:39:00 AM
He's not supposed to take the heat pinhead. He's supposed to cave to the will of those that elected him.
It's called the will of the people.
I heard yesterday that several well funded candidates will qualify to run against Marshal Byrd.
Looks like the Byrd-man is in trouble.
Big difference in the reporting about Lil Chuckie's swearing in this time around.
Last time when Abby Brown reported on the Rapides Parish Keystone Cops, the Town Talk was threatened with a freeze out of information.
Looks like Abby Brown and her editors caved into Lil Chuckie's threats and will only print puff pieces from now on.
Sounds like you're keen on green (miss the corruption and incompetence of the Kelly/Hilton years) and hate the progress and accomplishment that already marks the Wagner administration. You probably need to move further south.
"Sounds like you're keen on green (miss the corruption and incompetence of the Kelly/Hilton years) and hate the progress and accomplishment that already marks the Wagner administration. You probably need to move further south."
Looks to me like the person who posted this has their head so far up John Flynn and the new Sheriff's ass they have lost touch with reality.
They probably like snacking on the shit too....
sounds like you are gay
I am not gay, you piece of shit. I did experiment 6 separate times but it did not take.
Look you anonymous frauds, I am the real anonymous who posted that last anonymous post. You guys must be someone else.
will the real anonymous please stand up.
We "anonymi" don't stand up. That's why we are anonymi.
First Herbert Dixon votes himself a large pay raise as a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives. Now his wife Janet Dixon announce that she is reneging on her promise not to seek election to the Rapides Parish School Board to which she had been appointed to serve out her husband's term.
What a pair! I hope someone runs against Mrs. Dixon so I will have the satisfation to vote against her. I have already decided I will vote for any who runs agianst her husband when he seeks re-election.
Mrs. Dixon, I live in District D and I am not asking you to break your promise. I am not asking you to "continue to serve".
One pig feeding at the trough is enough for one family.
I'm Anonymous!... No! I'm Anonymous! No! I'm Anontacus! No I'm Apartacus! No!!! I'm Spartacus!!!
Sheesh....
please refer to me as biff when posting nasty things about me.
2 ex-city cops in the city marshall race - Byrd's prayers are answered - TA Messina for god's sake - a look at his personnel file from APD will make you wonder why he isn't in the fucking pen. - a total thug.
I agree that Messina is a thug, and a joke! He's the guy that was in charge of a group of convicts assigned to clean the old APD Horse Barns. He ended up allowing them to buy a few cases of beer and have a party on the riverbank.
As far as police officers go, he's a dirty as they come.
It's no secret that the FBI has had 4 extra agents assigned to this area, looking into corruption in law Enforcement agencies. Why do you think William Earl retired suddenly?
Word is that TA Messina retired for the same reason. He was told to resign or be discharged, and face possible criminal charges.
We all know that T.A. has lots of skeletons in his closet, and that he's the poster boy for police corruption, but what about Byrd? No body will say just how much damage his stroke did.
He's never seen around town anymore.
Yipee, things are heating up with the coming elections! I just hope the blogs will be as interesting (and as funny)as they were during the Alexandria's mayor's race.
We didn't have to wait long. A lawyer just filed a suit against that jailbird Louis Marshall to declare him ineligible to be a city council member. About time somebody fixed that problem.
I seem to remember that TA Messina is the same cop that took an APD boat, loaded it down with family and friends, and had a day long cruise on the river, complete with adult beverages.
As I remember, Wildlife and Fisheries Agents put a stop to the fun with a couple of tickets, one for operating a boat under the influence.
Doesn't anybody read this blog anymore? Can't anyone answer this question?
Byrd had a stroke and looks like death warmed over. If elected, will his health allow him to serve?
God would probably be the only one able to see the future.
Doesn't anybody read this blog anymore?
No, not many.
Good Morning Quint,
Sorry to bother, but can you squeeze it into your social schedule to start a new thread here please.....
pretty please.....
A NEW election season is UPON us!!!
Than You Very Much In Advance...
"jailbird Louis Marshall to declare him ineligible to be a city council member. About time somebody fixed that problem."
Now don't you look stupid. Probably another lawyer that doesn't know crap about the law.
--another lawyer that doesn't know crap about the law.--
Reminds me of our rookie mayor (another clueless lawyer) running around screaming about illegal council meeting. That also didn't turn out the way our resident attorneys said it would.
Now the mayors kissing the A** of those same council members with this SPARC crap
"Now don't you look stupid. Probably another lawyer that doesn't know crap about the law."
How would you know? Do you have ANY degree AT ALL dumbass?
"How would you know? Do you have ANY degree AT ALL dumbass?"
Yeah, but mine's from LSU not Southern
"Yeah, but mine's from LSU not Southern"
Even a SU grad shows more intellegence than you...dumbass!
Is this Maynard guy who is running for City Marshal the same goy who got tagged for illegal waste dumping a few years back?
"Reminds me of our rookie mayor (another clueless lawyer) running around screaming about illegal council meeting. That also didn't turn out the way our resident attorneys said it would."
The council was found to be violating the open meetings law and was reprimanded by the AG.
You're the clueless one.
"You're the clueless one."
Geee thanks for that wonderful insight Lamar.
By the way, you only have about 2 years left on your gravey train. Got another patronage job lined up yet?
"By the way, you only have about 2 years left on your gravey train."
uh.....I think it is spelled "gravy,,,"
YEP, must be an LSU grad....DUMB FUCK!
"YEP, must be an LSU grad....DUMB FUCK!"
You need to keep your anon posters stright. I'm the LSU grad, and I didn't post that comment.
You Royboys are just pissed that your clock is getting cleaned on a regular basis.
1) They were not "guilty", that's why no one was fined the requisite $100. They just had to sit through a "refresher" course.
2) Marshall won, you lost
3) Smith will lose his challenge, which means Goins will win, and you'll lose another seat
4) Roosevelt will beat your man in the council race, and then embarass Jack in the mayor's race
"stright ....... Jack"
"I'm the LSU grad"
Yes, you are...... D.F.
Your myopia is amazing. You are so consumed with envy that you can't admit the obvious: what is good for Jacques and the administration is good for the people of Alexandria. Roy's defense of the public's right to be informed through open meeting was not designed to help him personally but to promote the public good. You keep ranting about Jacques' political suicide even though his good works have built a virtual Roy political dynasty: in control of executive, legislative, and now judicial functions of government. I doubt you can run fast enough to catch up to this band wagon.

Wow, you actually believe this crap. The Long supporters thought the same thing. That turned out well for the citizens didn't it?
I bet you don't believe that same philosophy extends to the Gremillion or Knoll families do you?
Now who's the DF?
Wonder exactly what has Jacques actually done other than form committees and run his mouth? I see nothing new from this Administration except for a lot of bullshit.
Do we have anything tangible to show for 2 years of talking? Lamar you sure spread good bullshit about your boss.
Law, order, progress, prestige, and control.
There seem to be a lot of very smart people on this blog. Or at least they think they are. Anyway, why don't one of you very smart people start a "Cenla Antics 2". I seriously doubt the fellow who started this blog will ever check back to start a new thread.
Good idea. Why don't you start one lazy ass?
Besides, what good is a thread anyway. People just say any crap they want regardless of the thread topic. This is only a gossip bulletin board.
Hey smart ass, you really don't think a lazy ass will start a new blog do you. By the way, are we cousins? We are both from the ass family.
Looks like Kluxer Aymond on CentalLaPolitics and Hitler Youth Hooper on WeSawThat are roughing each other up pretty good. Its always great entertainment when them hate chickens come home to roost.
Anyone know why there were 5,000 mother fucking gallons of diesel on top of the fucking ATT building?????????????
. . . . uh, to run the generators that all public utilities maintain so that services are not interrupted by Alexandria's all to frequent power outages????? What a fucking moron!!!
There are not 5,000 gallons of diesel on top of the phone company. Had you have read the article you would realize there are two 300 gallon tanks on top. The diesel runs the turbine that powers the office in case of loss of electricity. Every wonder why your phone works when the power lines are down?
5,000 gallons of diesel would weigh 18 1/4 tons. take a hell of a roof to support that weight plus the turbine.
"Original estimates were that 4,300 gallons leaked into the building, but Trooper Steve Childers with the Louisiana State Police Hazmat unit said the amount of fuel lost was recalculated after it was determined there was less fuel in the storage tanks than first"
Ooops, 2 or more people cannot read the newsaper right HaHaHa
Wow, make one little comment about our pinhead mayor and the jackbooted stormtroopers of spin start attacking every comment in sight.
Lamar and his cronies are worse than Joseph Goebbels.
Soon Lamar and his Hitler Youth will suggest a a new public works project...constructing ovens at the old foundry site.
"Soon Lamar and his Hitler Youth will suggest a a new public works project...constructing ovens at the old foundry site."
While technically within the scope of what will be allowed at the site, your suggested reuse is abhorant; to compare any political figure to the likes of Hitler or the SS, and then evoke one of the most haunting and diabloical images from the Holocaust is unspeakable. You sir need help or prayers or maybe both!
Is Ted Silver still running around on his wife? She must be dumber than dumb.
Exactly why is what Ted Silver does any of our or your business?
"...to compare any political figure to the likes of Hitler or the SS, and then evoke one of the most haunting and diabloical images from the Holocaust is unspeakable.
Have you read any of Lamar's rantings lately? He sounds like Germany, circa 1937.
Perhaps Ted Silver speaks unkindly and judgmentally of others and deserves to have his own foibles placed and kept in the public eye. It's a "Golden Rule" kinda thing. Feel free to join in.
NEWS FLASH!
CHARLES FREDERICK SMITH COMES TO THE END OF HIS LONG AND GLORIOUS GRAVY TRAIN RIDE AND MYRON GETS ANOTHER WELL-TRAINED NEGRO VOTE. BRIDGET CAN FILL OUT HER DEPOSIT SLIP FOR THAT CLECO FEE NOW.
Speaking of gravy trains, Ted is still on the family teat after kicking his poor brother to the curb. The only new suits Bill is getting now are the ones delivered by a process server. That Ted's a special sort of guy.
The Royboys are starting to take on water:
1) Lil Jack lost momentum with his secret meeting crap, and is now catering to those same people with this SPARC baloney
2) Chrissy is bleeding money, and pissed that he didn't get a raise, and knows another spec session is coming next year
3) Marshall won his suit
4) CF Smith lost his
5) The Bentley ain't happpening
6) Roosevelt's on track to be the next mayor, and Jackie's trying to find a graceful exit before the next election
Who are Little Jack and Jackie?
I checked out Lamar's site. It's a bunch of crap about redevelopment. I don't always see eye to eye with the kid, but comparing him to the Nazis is really over the top.
My grandfather survived the Holocaust. It's not an event my family jokes about, and I don't think you should either. You may think it's funny, but to everyone else, you're just showing off your ignorance.
1) Does Ed Hooper work and how old is he?
2) What is the story on Ted. Somebody said he was running around in the closet.
"Who are Little Jack and Jackie?"
That's pretty simple. Our immature mayor.
Although I am no big fan of Harry as my representative on the City Council,as Bill and Ted have never sought public office, I see no reason to post questions here about their personal lives. The purpose of this blog is not to destroy the lives of private individuals.
I am sure the person posting about Bill and Ted may have some things in his or her life that he or she wouldn't want posted for public consumption.
The purpose of this blog is not to destroy the lives of private individuals.
Who says, I thought that it was the purpose?
"I checked out Lamar's site. It's a bunch of crap about redevelopment. I don't always see eye to eye with the kid, but comparing him to the Nazis is really over the top."
Dig a little deeper dumbass, Lamar is all about self promotion. To accomplish this he attempts to squelch the ideas of others, just like other totalitarian regimes have attempted to do. In this respect, he just like the Nazis.
"My grandfather survived the Holocaust."
Glad to hear he did.
"It's not an event my family jokes about..."
OK, fine.
"...and I don't think you should either."
Now you've joined forces with Lamar, attempting to impose your sanctimonious opinions on me and everyone else because I said something you don't like. Tough shit, I speak and think as I please.
"...and You may think it's funny, but to everyone else, you're just showing off your ignorance."
Fine, hold that opinion if you want to, but don't try and force me into thinking like you. Liberal, socialistic, viewpoints just ain't my style.
Liberal, socialistic, viewpoints just ain't my style.
Apparently neither is politeness or manners.
I like Harry. I'm not in his district and he lied about running, the Bently, etc. but he's better than the rest up there. Bill is essentially benign, never intentionally hurt anybody - Ted, on the other hand, is genuinely mean and malicious and hurts family, friends, and strangers for no apparent purpose other than to punish. That deserves justice, nez pas?
"Apparently neither is politeness or manners."
"When I want to get their attention I give it to them loud and dirty...that way they won't forget it..."
Gen. George Patton
I hear ya brother
Gen. George Patton
Unfortunately you ain't no Patton. Most obvious is the fact that Patton would have the guts required to sign his name.
“Do not punish this young man because he doesn’t want to take business clients to the hood,”
Quote from Thomas Davenport in Smith/Goins trial posted on "The Light" blog. I'm sure the voters of District 3 can be proud of his attitude toward the hood. Better to take business clients over to the nice neighborhood, but you folks in the district still need to be represented by Lawson, oops, I mean Goins.
This whole Bentley fiasco is total b.s. Word is there was another interested party that was turned away at the door right before Lawson, Silver and the gang showed up on the front steps for the press conference. The other party didn't even need money from the city or a TIF. Wonder what kind of deal was promised to Dean, Cyntreniks, Godfrey and Schneider?
"Unfortunately you ain't no Patton. Most obvious is the fact that Patton would have the guts required to sign his name."
You poor imbicilic fool.
"If history has taught us anything, its taught us that great leaders should be emulated, for it is in recognizing and copying greatness that we elevate ourselves."
Now run along and get your dictionary so you can translate the previous quote. Perhaps you will also educate yourself as to who said it.
Goins enjoys the full faith and confidence of those appearing on his behalf: his mother, Bridget Brown, Myron Lawson, Louis Marshall, and Kelvin Sanders.
As the Alexandria political scene heats up, we see three things become apparent.
1. The latest Hotel Bentley/SPARC situation shows that Mayor Roy has become irrelevant.
2. Byrd is not healthy enough to campaign, much less perform his duties as Marshal.
3. Myron Lawson still controls the city.
Have you taken a close look at Jimmy Chevalier lately?Byrd might just outlast him!
Have you taken a close look at Jimmy Chevalier lately?Byrd might just outlast him!
Somebody needs to shine a light on the Ed Hooper guy. He's clearly insane but is he dangerous?
Please get on the Town Talk site, and let others know how you feel about our crooked council and the Bentley. It looks as if they are determined to have the citizens pay for the purchase. Must be lots of kick backs and dirty dealings going on. The price keep getting higher and higher. If Buddy Tudor could not make it how in the world are Amos and Andy going to make it. We do not need to finance this white elephant. I am so sick of their dealings.
"Have you taken a close look at Jimmy Chevalier lately?Byrd might just outlast him!"
Are you kidding me? Chevalier is everywhere, his signs are up, and he shaking hands and kissing babies all over town! At least he's out there. Byrd can hardly get out of bed, and suffers badly from Alzheimer’s.
You ain't kidding about Jimmy shaking hands. His hands are shaking constantly. Does he have Parkinsons and cancer or just cancer?? Byrd is steady at work in city court every day.
Byrd is in the office, but not really here. Every time someone wakes him up they have to remind him he's the Marshal.
I predict they will be waking him up and reminding of that he is the marshall next year at this time.
Is AlexCenla a rather well-heeled blue haired republican real estate sales person noted for her charm, self-serving civil activism and ruthlessness?
"Charm" would rule out Mary Jo.
Are you referring to the blue-haired 2-named republican maven that the Roy campaign came to call
"Crone 1"?
So Stoker is now coaching at Bolton. Old farts never retire, they just smell that way.
This is for the person who wrote about Jimmy Chevalier's cancer being an obstacle in this race. He is the only candidate I have seen ALL OVER town meeting new people and explaining his intentions for this job position. It is not right that you would try to put that in front of his and also Byrd's face like that would actually help one of the other candidates win this race. If that is the only bad thing you could come up with on Byrd and Chevalier then in my opinion they are doing really well..
How about this: Chevalier spoke to a group and he knows absolutely nothing about the Marshall's office, including how much money he would be paid or what its budget is. How can he promise to improve an office he knows nothing about. If you doubt this, confront him about facts. He doesn't know a goddam thing about the office operation.
Cancer's not his biggest problem: stupid is.
Whats really funny is that you call him stupid yet you can't even spell Marshal right!! Thats pretty dam funny!!! First of all why in the hell should it matter whether or not he knows his pay or not. That should be confidential anyway and Im sensing you are going for Messina who is a not all there and its sad that you would want someone like that in charge of all those people. I would end up walking in there one day and every one of the dam inmates would be drunk. Yeah that seems like a really good person to have elected... Think about who you are calling stupid
I think we agree that it would be stupid to support somebody for an office that he knew nothing about, don't we?
"First of all why in the hell should it matter whether or not he knows his pay or not. That should be confidential anyway"
It is public funds so NO it shouldn't be confidential.
I hear Jim Villard is getting the machine behind him for his bid against Roosevelt. Expect the two other candidates against him to drop out.
I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS HEARD OF A COMPANY CALL UNION NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY? WELL IT IS ALL A BIG JOKE. FIRST OF ALL ART THOMAS LOVES TO SCREW PEOPLE ALL UP THERE ASSHOLE. HE LOVES TO TAKE PEOPLES MONEY AND POCKET IT. ALSO DAVID VERSAVELT LOVES TO POCKET MONEY ALSO. I HAVE HEARD FROM PEOPLE IN PERSON HOW HE GOES TO POOR PEOPLES HOMES THAT IS DUE TO PAY THERE INSURANCE AND TELLS THEM THEY HAVE TO PAY NOW OR THEY WILL LOSE THEIR INSURANCE. HE IS VERY VERY RUDE TO THE CLIENTS. HE TRYS TO ACT LIKE HE RICH AND TRYS TO SHOW THOSE LOW INCOME PEOPLE HES BETTER THAN THEM AND HE KNOWS HIS HOME IS WORSE THAN HIS CLIENTS. I FEEL LIKE THAT COMPANY NEEDS TO BE INVESTAGATED. THEY ARE DOING ALOT OF PEOPLE WRONG!!!!
"I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS HEARD OF A COMPANY CALL UNION NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY?"
Uh....we can't hear SHIT from all of your fucking shouting.....
I LOVE TO FUCKING SHOUT!!!
Dear Union Natl Life sucker:
Seeing what a absolute asshole your are we must conclude that whatever Mr. Thomas did to you, you deserved. I am inclined to think that fooling you is/was not that difficult.
You have no fucking idea what you are talking about do you? I mean you can't even spell right so come up with something better asshole.
So Chuck's drug tests produced NOT ONE person on drugs. All that crap was made up prior to the election by the Menard Mafia, seems WEH and Slocum ran a clean dept. after all.
With Marshall winning his case and CF Smith losing his, appears that once again the mafia is giving poor advice to its cronies.
At least their political influence will have a short, but not so sweet affect on our local politics.
Seems like the people of Rapides Parish aren't as stupid as the Menard Mafia thinks they are.
The Roy family thugs and their lackey in the sheriff's chair will end up as one term wonders.
Actually, if you consider how many and who no longer works there, the results don't really surprise me very much. The TT article says at least one resigned rather than taking the test.
This appeared on Greg Aymond's blog today...
"So it is an error to call Republicans Conservatives. Some individual Republicans might be Conservatives , as are some Democrats and Libertarians, but being a Republican doesn't mean that one is necessarily a Conservative."
I wonder how Greg can tell the difference between political parties or political philosophies when he views the world from under the hooded robe of A Ku Klux Klansman.
Obviously Greg hates Republicans. My guess is that the local Republican group knows Greg for the phony he is and refuses to have anything to do with him, hence the never ending stream of baseless criticism.
I often wonder what this community did wrong in God’s eyes to have someone as worthless as Greg Aymond foisted upon us.
Well said GoPacer. I thhought Aymond was a Republican?
