    As an Illinois native (and former legislative intern there) I might quibble with your first sentence.

    All seriousness aside, I think the principal reason Louisiana is so messed up is that we bought it from France.

    @The Cajun Boy: Totally unfair. You don't get to be a writer and use a badass accent to woo women. Way to make me hate myself.

    I am glad somebody cut through this bullshit and broke it down for me. Now, what is the solution to this wicked web?

    Finally, I have prior knowledge of something discussed on Gawker.


    I believe Monseratte tried to talk about how he didn't think said girlfriend's injuries were major because right after 'the incident', they made sweet love atop an elevated carriage bed.

    [What this would mean is a deadlocked, evenly divided Senate. And no Lt. Governor, because Paterson is not authorized to appoint one, and therefore no tie-breaking votes.]


    not entirely true. the senate's president pro tempore breaks the tie when there's no lt gov (even if that gives him two votes). but seeing as how there's currently a restraining order preventing Espada from acting as lt gov that means the tie breaking vote goes to the Speaker of the Assembly: Sheldon Silver.

    @putch: And then if Paterson has to step down because HE's also got a prostitution problem then Silver will also become governor and finally rule all of Albany, Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha.

    @DennyCrane: Actually, I'm just biding my time until everyone else is DQ'd from governing the state and it falls on me. Then I shall rule with an iron fist. Or something.
