I know, I've been slack on the blogging lately. Nothing really happening to spark my outrage, or incite me to wax philosophical. It's all kind of drab.
Our outgoing governor, the execrable John Bel Edwards, is on a speaking tour around the state, trying to cement his legacy. It's a horrible legacy. He utterly failed to lead on Covid, shutting down business, closing schools, creating bankruptcy and presiding over the greatest contraction of individual liberty since Reconstruction. This led to a huge out-migration problem, with people fleeing for free states. Our taxes are high, our education system is in the doldrums, and crime has sky-rocketed. That is the legacy of John Bel Edwards. Louisiana is a poorer place because Edwards ws governor. Everything he did was wrong.
It is the Christmas season with all the attendant festivities. Louisiana has hope, with a clean sweep of elected officials. We'll see in January how they intend to govern.
Hopefully MUCH better that Edwards.
