louisiana redeems itself
louisiana has elected its first woman governor, democrat kathleen blanco. this is a big relief, because her opponent was a hard-right republican who opposed, among other things, abortion in all cases.
i imagine some of louisiana's more neanderthal voters were confused by the choice: elect either a white woman or a non-white man. (blanco's opponent is indian "and not the cowboy kind," according to aunt betty.)

"Dot, not feather", y'know.
I'll take the credit for this. Clearly it was my visit last weekend which caused a wave of sanity to strike the voters there. BTW - she didn't exactly sound like my ideal candidate, but I suppose my ideal candidate would have been laughed out of the race before the runoff.

Isn't he the guy who wrote an account of his personal struggle with Satan, when he was trying to help "cure" a woman friend who was ostensibly possessed?
