Carville’s Letter Supporting Melancon

I’m guessing many of you got this email tonight as well:

Dear Drew,

Over the course of my life in politics, I’ve met a lot of politicians — left, right, center, you name it. And while I may not always agree with the positions of some of my Republican friends, I can at least respect them when they walk the talk and show the courage of their convictions.

But while honest differences of opinion are one thing, there’s one thing I won’t abide — not in my friends, not in my clients, not in right-wingers, not in left-wingers and certainly not in a United States Senator who represents the state I’ll always call home: a blatant hypocrite and someone who distorts the record of a fellow Cajun.

And that is why I want you to join me in booting David Vitter from the U.S. Senate.

Of course, it will be worth voting David Vitter out of the Senate just because his positions on far too many issues are so extreme. But it’s the blatant hypocrisy that really rankles me and takes this to the next level.

He ran for office as a squeaky-clean reformer, and then voted against ethics reform. He took hundreds of thousands of dollars from financial interests, and then voted for the kind of rampant deregulation that allowed huge Ponzi schemes to steal millions from Louisiana families. He rails against excessive spending, then crammed almost $250 million in pet projects into a recent spending bill.

After running around all summer scaring people about health insurance reform, Vitter decided a couple of weeks ago to endorse a plan that calls for eliminating all employer-based health insurance. The nearly two million Louisianians who have employer-based insurance should be scared about Vitter’s plan: if Vitter gets his way, they’ll be on their own.

And don’t get me started on his record when it comes to supporting our military personnel. He offers paeans to troops — which I sure hope they enjoy, because if they’re depending on Vitter, that’s all they’re going to get.

If you’re as sick of Vitter’s act as I am, then I hope you’ll support a candidate who is the opposite of Vitter in almost every way: my friend, Charlie Melancon. Charlie grew up with small-town Louisiana values and still lives in his hometown.
And rather than merely preaching the virtues of the free market, he’s actually succeeded in it, building a chain of ice cream shops as well as an insurance agency.

Charlie’s gone up against the federal bureaucracy and insurance companies in his ongoing crusade on behalf of the people whose lives were turned upside down by Hurricane Katrina. He’s a champion of the environment, fighting to protect Louisiana’s disappearing marshes and swamps.

All these qualities would make Charlie an outstanding U.S. Senator. But he’s also got one that matters more to me than all the others.

He’s an honest man — which to me means you can figure out what he’s going to do by listening to his words. He doesn’t preach family values. He lives them in his more than 37-year marriage to his wife, Peachy.

And Charlie doesn’t have to fake his sincerity on issues like the economy and health care either. His sincerity is evident throughout his life.

We need to put Charlie in a position to respond early and often to Vitter’s relentless smears, so we can remind voters just who’s on the attack and why.

That’s why I’m asking you to make your personal stand against blatant hypocrisy by rushing a generous contribution of $5 or even more if you can afford it to Charlie Melancon’s campaign today.

https://secure.democratsenators.org/o/46/t/847/shop/custom.jsp?donate_page_KEY=5141&track=eoq_emailLA

No election in the 2010 cycle is more important to me — yes, because I’m fromLouisiana, and sure, because Charlie’s a friend.

But most of all, I care about this race because I’ve had it with hypocrites who say one thing and then vote the opposite. If you’ve had it with right-wing hypocrites too, I hope you’ll contribute to Charlie’s campaign today.

Sincerely,

James Carville

A Quick Musical Aside

OK a break from Politics and something different just in case any of you might be tired of the vast variety of music played on A-town’s radio stations:

First, from Ole Blighty, The Kooks and their song “Shine On”.  You’ve probably heard the chorus in a recent commercial.  They’ve got a clean fun sound.  Their two albums are definitely worth a listen.

And from the US, We Are Scientists who have got to have some of the best videos in recent years.  Their website is nothing but hilarity so google them away.  “The Great Escape”:

And finally “After Hours” which is just funny as can be.

Growing up we actually bought my dad one of those dogs — a German Shorthaired Pointer from a kennel out in Mary Hill (by the VA).  They’re supposed be great bird dogs.  And this one was, just one thing…massive car sickness.  We only got to hunt with her once and that was by taking her to a friends house in Kurthwood the day before and leaving her there until we were ready to hunt.  Otherwise she would ride in the back, then hop out puke everywhere, crawl under the Jeep and wait till we took her home. ;)

TPM: Vitter Blocks EPA Nomination, Seeks Delays on Formaldehyde Safety Regs

I am sure there is a perfectly good reason for this. Right?

Vitter’s stance on the issue is identical to that taken by the Formaldehyde Council Inc. (FCI), a trade group of formaldehyde producers. The group told TPMmuckraker in a statement that “an NAS review of formaldehyde has been a long-standing policy goal of the industry,” and added that “FCI believes that the scientific evidence overwhelmingly shows that formaldehyde and formaldehyde-derived products are safe when used appropriately.” In addition, lobby disclosure reports examined by TPMmuckraker show that the group paid $30,000 to a Republican lobbying firm this year in part to win “support for a National Academy of Sciences review of scientific studies on the toxicity of formaldehyde.”

….

Many of Louisiana’s top emitters of the pollutant are contributors to Vitter’s 2010 re-election bid. According to FEC records examined by TPMmuckraker, the Louisiana senator has received $9000 from Dow Chemical’s political action committee, $5000 from Monsanto’s, $4000 from Exxon-Mobil’s, and $2500 from the American Forest and Paper Association’s. Dow, Exxon, and Monsanto are all among the top formaldehyde polluters in the state, EPA data examined by TPMmuckraker show, while both Dow and the American Forest and Paper Association are members of FCI.

Whoa

Ball mayor, police chief, town clerk, police officer, and police department employee indicted. Quoting from the AP story:

All five were charged in a three-count indictment with disaster fraud and conspiracy to commit disaster fraud for falsifying employee timesheets linked to the town’s request for payroll reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency after 2008′s Hurricane Gustav. Washington said Hebron and Kimball also face a count of theft of government money for similar actions after Hurricane Rita.

The indictment alleges that the defendants defrauded the government by overstating both the hours worked and the mileage on town vehicles and equipment used in response to Gustav and later submitting the falsified timesheets to FEMA for reimbursement.

Each of the defendants faces an Oct. 15 arraignment date before U.S. Magistrate James D. Kirk.

Disaster fraud carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Conspiracy carries up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine and theft of government money carries up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Craigslist Opens in CenLa: It Only Took Them Three Years…

So I’ve just noticed that 3 years after they added most other Louisiana communities — including smaller ones than Central Louisiana, Craigslist has finally answered the 500+ requests per week they likely have constantly received and added:

http://cenla.craigslist.org/

Looks like the Town Talk will likely lose even more of their payments to Gannett each month when their classifieds business crashes.

Dear Gannett

How much for The Town Talk?

Selling points:

It’s been an institution in our community since 1883. When you bought The Town Talk (and Central Newspapers) nine years ago, after it had been purchased by Central Newspapers in 1996 for $62 million in cash, you also bought a printing division known as McCormick Graphics, another institution in our community, named after the founder of The Town Talk, Edgar McCormick.

0807129348.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1107554260_

Great brands with great name recognition and a relatively stable region of consumers.

A regional newspaper monopoly, which is what, at the time, made your decision so obvious. After all, you specialize in mid-sized markets featuring only one or two dominant media outlets.

Setbacks:

You’ve recently had to make a number of cuts, and though you have been coy about these decisions and the divisions they have affected, no one can deny that when you report “40 jobs will be affected,” as you did late last week, you either mean, “We’re shipping them off, or we’re cutting them.”

After hearing the news last week about your decision to shutter your in-house printing operations, a friend of mine said, “It only took them thirteen years to kill McCormick Graphics (a business that, in some form or fashion, has been in Alexandria for over a century).”

In my opinion, you’re struggling here because of the exponential proliferation of the Internet (and your overall reluctance to participate or understand how to translate your product online; your forum is an example of the absolute worst kind of hybridization, “serious” journalism succumbing to contextualization by a random group of anonymous and often ignorant contributors, whose comments are rarely, if ever, checked for facts or accuracy)… and you’re struggling because of your decision to run a local, home-grown newspaper as if it could ever be an asset that could yield a 30+% return to corporate.

You can dance around it; you can pretend as if you’re still a local paper with local folks delivering the local news. But, at the end of the day, you have to ship away a chunk of your profit margin here in Central Louisiana to your national offices in Virginia. (And, by the way, USA Today is still looking good).

When the output of your editorial writers and letter writers exceeds or nearly equals the production of the LOCAL news desk (and when your forum contributors are the MOST prolific of all), the problem becomes even more obvious: Opinions, after all, are cheap, but reporting the news is what makes a newspaper a newspaper.

And sometimes, the news is bleak.

From your forum, where, admittedly, I believe rumor and innuendo often passes without objection or oversight:

Sue Eakin: 1918-2009

This morning, I was saddened to hear of the passing of my great aunt, Sue Eakin, who died at the age of 90 in her home in Bunkie. Sue was one of a dozen of Lyles siblings, which includes my paternal grandmother EakinSueJoanne, all of whom grew up on Compromise Plantation in Loyd Bridge, Louisiana (near Cheneyville).

I hadn’t seen or spoken with Aunt Sue in several years, but very recently, I had the opportunity to pass along some amazing news (which, unfortunately, I cannot disclose here) to three of her children that, I hope, will ensure her work continues to inspire and educate for many, many more years. (And I know the news thrilled her).

Professionally, she will be remembered most 9780807101506for editing Solomon Northrup’s Twelve Years a Slave, the diary of a free man sold into slavery, one of the most compelling slave narratives in American history. Additionally, along with her sister Manie, she also wrote the textbook used in junior high Louisiana History classes.

A couple of years ago, I directed readers to a website Sue published about the history of Central Louisiana. As far as I know, she never stopped pursuing her passion- creatively conveying the history of the people of Louisiana.

Considering Aunt Sue was a student and scholar of history, it is only fitting to provide her history, which spanned over 90 years:

Family: Born December 7, 1918, in Loyd Bridge, LA; daughter of Samuel Pickles, Sr. (a planter) ( I’ve always thought it’s awesome that Pickles is a family name) and Myrtle (Guy) Lyles; married Paul Mechlin Eakin, Sr. (a financial consultant), January 31, 1941; children: Paul Mechlin, Jr., Russell Lyles, Sara Eakin Kuhn, Samuel Fred, Frank. Education: Louisiana State University, B.A., 1941, M.A. (history), 1964, M.A. (journalism), 1965; University of Southwestern Louisiana, doctoral study, 1976. Politics: “Just an alert, concerned citizen.” Religion: Methodist. Memberships: Louisiana Historical Association (member of board of directors, 1973-76), Historical Association of Central Louisiana (member of board of directors, 1975), Les Avoyelles Commissiones.

Worked during the 1950′s as a columnist and feature writer for the Alexandria Daily Town Talk, Alexandria, LA, as editor and co-owner of Bunkie Record, Bunkie, LA, and as feature editor, columnist and reporter for Opelousas Daily World, Opelousas, LA; Louisiana State University, Alexandria, assistant professor of history, 1964–. Archivist for Louisiana State Archives and Records Service.

National Endowment for the Humanities fellow, 1974; outstanding American history professor award from Daughters of the American Revolution, 1975; Louisiana Committee of the American Revolution Bicentennial research award, 1976.

Sue Eakin writes:

I was born in central Louisiana where blacks, plantation whites and blacks, and hill country people were represented in the society. This was at the end of the Bourbon period when the planter class Redeemers and Southern industrialists banded together to recreate the Southern caste system. I grew up caught in the position of empathizing with all three groups, and even as a child planned what I wanted to write, and wrote since I can remember, to show these different peoples in the affectionate light in which I saw them. To me, none of the groups seemed to be accepted by the other two, and to me there was a great deal of positive good in all of them. I planned to study in a scholarly way a long list of subjects–English, sociology, journalism, history, and economics, which would help me to understand the Southern people, my people, all of them.

Geaux Mary Landrieu!

Starts out slow, but it’s worth the wait:

If what Senator Vitter proposes is to become law, then I think it is only fair to also require mandatory community service from anyone who has ever received tax credits or relied on any form of government incentives for a business transaction. (I wonder if Senator Vitter would support that).

DoingAVitter.Com: Vitter Calls for Investigation of Prostitution Allegations

Background: As Oyster points out, the Louisiana Democratic Party issued one heck of a press release today:

As pressure mounts for congressional investigations into charges that ACORN provided financial assistance to prostitutes, David Vitter skipped a key Senate vote yesterday to deny federal funds to the controversial group.

In a press release issued yesterday morning, Vitter declared himself the “Senate’s most outspoken critic of ACORN” and highlighted an amendment he offered last week to strip all federal funding for the group from the transportation appropriations bill.  A few hours later, the Senate voted on an identical amendment, but Vitter did not cast a vote.

Today, the Advocate reported that Vitter has joined other Republicans calling for an investigation into whether ACORN employees “advised people posing as a pimp and prostitute how to skirt federal tax laws.”

“For months, David Vitter has been leading the charge to deny federal money to ACORN, but as soon as the topic of prostitution comes up, he doesn’t even show up to work,” said Louisiana Democratic Party Spokesman Kevin Franck.

Vitter may have skipped the vote to avoid calling attention to his own admission that he frequented prostitutes, according to Franck.

“Tax evasion and prostitution are serious crimes that should be investigated and it would be very surprising if David Vitter and the services he has paid for did not violate tax laws,” Franck added.

And then there is this.

This is Doing a Vitter at a whole new level:

Vitter and U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, are among several Republican lawmakers calling for investigations and audits following three videos released last week in which ACORN workers in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Brooklyn, N.Y., advised people posing as a pimp and prostitute how to skirt federal tax laws.

It’s hard to believe David Vitter and the prostitutes he paid for services didn’t violate a tax law or three.

Maybe if ACORN just calls a quick press conference and mumbles the words “serious sin,” David Vitter will cut them a break.

To be fair, a no-win situation for Vitter, which will remain the case any time prostitution comes up.

To be clear, David Vitter was elected on a “family values” platform, when, all the while, he was seeking the services of “escorts.” After being exposed, Vitter only offered a cursory apology for a vague “serious sin,” while denying all of the other allegations coming out of New Orleans (which had haunted him prior to his phone number popping up on the D.C. Madam’s records).

He deserves to be called out for skipping this vote, particularly considering his previous criticisms of ACORN, and he deserves to be reminded, whenever he’s denouncing prostitution, that he has basically admitted he is guilty of the same crime(s)… yet he has never been prosecuted or reprimanded.

How many times have you sent an email to an elected official?  How about a phone call?  A letter?

How many times have you gotten a response?

I don’t write to my Senators, Representatives, State, or local officials very often, but when I do it’s for a reason.  I would like to think (as I am sure anyone else would) that when I do, my inquiry merits a response.  I am usually frustrated however in the fact that I almost never receive a response back.  Many of our elected officials now have email addresses or contact forms on their websites.  Most even add a statement proclaiming their joy at receiving letters and their love for the opportunity to assist and discuss the issues with their constituents.  Some of these vary from the rather vague statement on whitehouse.gov:

President Obama is committed to creating the most open and accessible administration in American history. To send questions, comments, concerns, or well-wishes to the President or his staff, please use the form below:

To the rather florid intro by Representative Rodney Alexander which basically says if you’re in his district let’s have coffee, otherwise bugger off:

I am very interested in hearing your views on issues of importance to you and your family.  I am only able to accept messages from residents of the 5th Congressional District of Louisiana, due to the large volume of U.S. Mail, email and faxes that I receive.  Congressional courtesy dictates that representatives be given the opportunity to assist their own constituents.

If you are resident of another district, I encourage you to contact your U.S. Representative by clicking the following link to the Write Your Representative Service.

From the rather specific instructions on Sen. Landrieu’s website:

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments and concerns!

If you are writing from Louisiana, be sure to include your full name and address in the web form below so that I may respond to your question by postal mail. If you’d prefer to contact me by letter or telephone, I have several offices that can help you. Click here for a list.

To absolutely nothing (no instructions, thank you, or acknowledgment) on Sen. Vitter’s site.

Now, I would like to say that I have personally written to and called each of the people listed above at least 2-3 times in the past couple of years.  I have never gotten a single response to an email (ever).  Other than a tacit phone call back with a promise for a followup call (which never came) from Sen. Landrieu’s Alexandria office, I have never once received a response to a phone call either and that includes calling Washington and the local offices — nothing.

So I would like to know if my experiences are unique or if our elected officials are forgetting who their bosses are.  I’ve included a poll below.  Please take the time to vote in your results:

(Please answer all polls that apply to you)

The Impact of No Impact Man: or, I Sure Wish I Could Walk to Work

Slate.com ran an article today about the new documentary No Impact Man, the story of a Manhattan couple (and their small, unsuspecting daughter) who forego dozens of modern conveniences for a year in order to live a lifestyle that a 90′s-era Valley Girl might call “Green to the Maxx.”

The article is worth a read, especially in the places where it touches on the complexities of the current trend towards greenovation. While concern for the environment is distinctly important, the rise of green culture as an upper-class trend is problematic, to say the least. The article aknowledges that No Impact Man (whose name is Colin Beavan) can CHOOSE his new lifestyle precisely because of his priviledged economic position.

What the article fails to acknowledge is a point that is often ignored in discussions of resource consumption – a point that I find far more pressing than the role of class: the role of location in highly publicized green experiments.

One of the first things that Slate author Dana Stevens mentions about Beavan’s experiment is his determination to avoid any “nonself-propelled transportation” throughout the year. How lovely to be able to make this choice in an area like Manhattan, where long distances can, in fact, be travelled safely on foot or by bike. I have a message for Colin Beavan: I would LOVE to be able to travel to work on foot everyday. When I lived in L.A., I walked anywhere within a reasonable distance. Had I owned a bike, I would’ve taken it anywhere I could. Here in Alexandria, where my place of employment is a 20-minute drive down a stretch of state highway with no sidewalks and very little shoulder to provide safety for a cycler? Not a chance. Not even a small one.

My concern here is that, as greening grows in media popularity as a cultural fad rather than a real-world necessity, the focus will be on those experiments and solutions that lend themselves to media attention. And, as is often the case, small towns and middle-sized cities in areas like the south will be largely forgotten or ignored. Our differences in geography, economy, and capability will disappear into the background, and our citizens will continue driving unreliable cars or waiting on absurdly inconvenient public transportation. While the citizens of major urban areas grow their organic gardens, the people who live near downtown Alexandria will continue to struggle in a largely forgotten existence.

It’s nice that No Impact Man wants to make an impact on our policies and procedures. And I can’t blame the filmmakers for considering him a fascinating subject. My only concern is that all of this media hype is leading basically nowhere. When the tide of interest has died down, areas like our own will be left with the same old problems.

My question is: what would a no-impact lifestyle look like in an average-sized, or even small to medium, Louisiana city? What would be the possibilities open to No Impact man if he were a working man in Alexandria? In Pineville or Leesville?

There’s always the bit about going without toilet paper. But that’s not where I’d really like to start.

David Vitter Advertises On DailyKos

Waste of money:

Screen shot 2009-09-11 at 9.22.31 PM

Initially, I thought, “I can’t believe Kos is taking Vitter’s money,” then I realized how awesomely ridiculous it is: David Vitter is paying to advertise on DailyKos.

That said, at first glance, I thought the ad at the bottom, particularly as it appeared on DailyKos, was sponsored by Vitter’s opponent, Charlie Melancon. And I’m sure I’m not alone.

Vitter Attacks Melancon for Out-of-State Fundraising, Then Embarks on Series of Out-of-State Fundraisers

Aside from the obvious problems with a Senator apparently charging people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner dates with him during the months of September and October (while Congress is in session), it is also interesting to note that, recently, Mr. Vitter has publicly attacked his opponent, Congressman Charlie Melancon, for raising money out of state.

Here:

It’s interesting Mr. Vitter chose this line of attack, considering that, during the next few weeks, he plans to aggressively raise money in D.C., Georgia, and South Carolina:
