So, 15 of the 30 nations in the "coalition of the willing" aren't even willing to have their names listed at a press conference? How 'willing' can they possibly be? And look at the ones who were listed. The U.S., Turkey, and Uzbekistan -- partners for freedom. Schyeah. It's like living in a Philip K. Dick novel.

But I don't have to look at the world for insanity, it's right here on my doorstep. Apparently there's a bill in Baton Rouge that would allow us to choose between "In God We Trust" on our license plates and the current blurb, "Sportsmen's Paradise." THAT's a choice? Why can't I choose "None of the Above?" Well, someone is suggesting "America's Wetland" too, maybe they'll combine the bills and make that a third option. In any case all of them are more palatable than "Freedom" or some-such.

Also it seems that the Superdome and the "mini-me" (the New Orleans Arena) are facing budget shortfalls. So I wonder, with a sigh, what Medicaid programs to severely disabled children are going to be cut THIS time so the state won't bounce its check to the NFL?

I like the license plate motto:
Louisiana -- soon to be America's first underwater state.
