Mea Culpa
Alrighty then…
It has been a bit since I have been able to post much due to a massive over inflation of my schedule (read: work, lots of it!). I do want to take a few moments and thank reader Barnzey who has left me several comments recently.
It seems that in my prior posting about David Vitter I spread some misinformation, which I would now like to put right. I did go to De La Salle High School with one of the Vitters, and I could swear the first name was David, but it was actually Paul. I would ike to herewith retract comments made in my posts about the character of David Vitter as based on personal experience, I was remembering a sibling of his.
That said, my comments and posts about his public behaviour and his political posturing remain unaltered. Recent news has borne out my assertions of hypocracy and idiocy on his part better than anything I have written. He is, quite simply, still an utter ass and has no place in public office.
I would also like to encourage fact checking readers out there to continue to assist me by leaving comments and sources whenever they see me accidentally dispense misinformation. I will never take such comments at face value, for anyone can make an assertion with or without factual basis, but I will follow up and recent if that is required to maintain the standard of honesty I require.
Thanks Barnzey!

Y… You were wr… wrong? My world is shattered…
Oh, life is TOUGH.
At least you admitted you were wrong, and not HALFWAY wrong, like some lawmaking lawbreakers out there…
I may seem far fetched at times, but I attempt to cleave to the truth.
BTW, Ritchie? I thumb my nose in your general direction!
Loki –
Just looking out for a fellow Cav … keep up the good work with the blog.
Frankly, I think Sen. Vitter has shamed everyone associated with DLS with the recent revelations, but that said, he should be allowed to stand on his record — and he’d better find something other to stand on than the old “family values” platform before the 2010 campaign.
I don’t think he’s served the state particularly well — especially post-Katrina. His support of timbering cypress swamps and that water bill under veto threat by the president (which would build levees that would actually destroy vital wetlands) come to mind.
But he’ll be re-elected handily. Because Louisianians have a short memory.
Hey Barnzey, I was serious in what said: I prefer to be corrected rather than be wrong. Nice to have it come from a former classmate.
Unfortunately I must agree with your above statements, especially concerning the memory of Louisiana residents.
Shortsightedness will be our doom.
