GET STARTED, START A FIRE

posted Monday, 25 August 2008

The Picayune picked a candidate for Dollar Bill's seat in Congress yesterday and it's State Rep Cedric Richmond. It's a pity, however, that the knuckleheads who run NOLA.com have NOT posted the endorsement as of yet so I have to link to WRNO radio's web site. Rush fracking radio, y'all. I guess the powers that be at NOLA.com are too busy NOT moderating racist and violent comments to bother posting this important item, which could propel Richmond into the upper tier of candidates for the Second District seat.  

Back to the Picayune: they followed up by printing a very flattering article by Frank Donze about their new protege today with a catchy headline: Legislator's fire stoked. Here at the Adrastos Virtual Cafe, we believe that such a fiery headline deserves a video tribute from someone that neither Donze nor Richmond is likely to have heard of, Graham Parker, after all, the Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile:

It's only censorship when the government does it. It's called editing when a published does it.

I'm sure you have noticed the editing at the TP these days is a little lacking.

I wish they had endorsed James Carter. I've seen enough of him on TV to know that he is persuasive and also represents the issues of New Orleans' poorer residents, surely a requirement for any Rep from the La. 2nd. Robert Ceresoli's comment that James Carter is one of the most honest people he has met in the city does not go against him. I just don't know much about Cedric and the TP is not helping things out in that regard.

The TP doesn't control NOLA.com. They're separate entities so NOLA.com doesn't give a rat's ass about the paper's rep.
