My Gentle Readers know that I am days away from getting caught up with mess that is the Repugs because of the storm, but I just found a good piece on how to clear a record of illegal actions… just shut down the investigation by the power of your political allies.

From the Suspect Device comes this little video gem.

Is My Newly Re-elected State Senator… A Criminal?
From the T-P comes an article concerning money laundering in which Derrick Shepherd with aiding a convicted felon by writing the checks out as if it was for work he performed for the defendant.
“Special Agent Peter Smith testified that Shepherd, a lawyer who often handles personal-injury cases, attempted to make his dealings with bond broker Gwendolyn Joseph Moyo appear legitimate by writing the words “settlement proceeds” on the memo lines of the checks.
However, investigators have found no evidence that Shepherd did any legal work for Moyo, Smith said, although he said that Shepherd had delivered a “vague invoice” to a federal grand jury to explain the payments. The document was basically illegible, Smith said.
“To me, it looks like he was trying to disguise it, to make it look like this was for a personal-injury case,” Smith said of the notations in the checks’ memo lines.
“I suppose the government takes the position that it’s money laundering?” Moyo’s attorney, Pat Fanning, asked Smith.
“Yes,” Smith testified.”
“It was that order that led Moyo to Shepherd, according to Smith. The agent testified that Moyo spoke with a number of lawyers about her problem, which had left her unable to cash checks made out to her firm.
Smith said that Moyo told investigators that it was Shepherd who, a month after the crackdown, hit on the solution: Moyo would sign over her uncashed checks and he would deposit them in an account he controlled.
According to Smith, Moyo signed over five checks totaling $140,686 to Shepherd’s account. Two of the checks indicated they were for bond fees.
During the same week, Shepherd moved $55,000 from one of his accounts to another, and then wrote three checks to Moyo, also totaling $55,000, from the second account. Those were the checks labeled “settlement proceeds.”
I’m glad I voted for Shawn Barney. Shepherd is a fuckmook.
Big Update- The Mighty Bivalve Oyster over at YRHT has a lot more info in this criminally-minded, favorite son of Jeff Parish douchebag. I guess Shepherd is truly the Pariah of the Parish today.

Piyush is Now the Appointed Leader of Looziana and Is Sanctified By the Dark Lord of the Chimps
Well we are fucked for another four years. The last four found us with a woman guv’nor with no damn ovaries, and now we are saddled with an unproven syncophant of the Bushite crowd. (Hey Bobby! What’s it taste like? *wink, wink*)
Life sux, but that’s what you get in a polyglot culture that is less than half educated. Their GameBoys and IPODS take up all their time, and they cannot grasp Reality. (I thought Civics was still a required class along with U.S. History, but I could be wrong. Everything since Reagan is screwed by my measures.)
He can do as he wishes, but it will not affect us as long as we follow one of the Founders’ dictum: “We must hang together, or we will definitely hang separately”. I don’t care about the rest of the Gret Stet that hates us down here… I’m only interested in the Isle d’ Orleans and it’s environs. We will be facing an interesting next four years.
So I guess many of us down here in the swamps will have to redouble our efforts to free our lands from the rest of the state. At least we would keep the oil revenues and rebuild our levees and wetlands by contracting with the Dutch. It will be the Quebec of the South and the official language is Yat-speak. Doubloons and beads will become the official currency.
We will extend our LGBT protections to all of our little province since Jindal will be abolishing them on the state level. The rest of the state will sink into barbarity, but our culture and kindly ways here in the Isle will continue. We will do what we do best: live life to it’s fullest and be welcoming to all (as long as they go home after their sojourn here).
The Succession starts NOW!
Sinn Fein…

Foster Campbell, Not Bobby Jindal For Guv’nor of the Gret Stet
Fist off, I’m voting for Foster Campbell for governor this Saturday. I like his style, and he ain’t stale toast like the other candidates.
Here’s 37 reasons not to vote for that Bushite Jindal.
Curtsey to Cenlamar for the latter.

Jindal Gets Worse
Bobby (The Exorcist) Jindal found a way to honor the wishes of his Lord and Master on the attempted overturning of the veto on the SCHIPS bill by just NOT showing up for the vote. (Seems the weather was bad and he didn’t want to risk missing the debate tonight. (Like he’s made many others)
Vote for Foster Campbell this Saturday. Hell vote for anyone but Jindal this election. This is about the kids and Healthcare. Don’t let the Dark Lord install one of his minions as Looziana’s next Guvner.
Another Reason Jindal Is BAD…
and a rabid cross-wearing and faith-based fruit bat:
“The candidates also differ on gay rights, where Jindal is the only candidate who said he would not renew a 2004 executive order by Blanco barring state agencies and outside contractors from discriminating in their hiring practices on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, political affiliation or disabilities.”
“Jindal said that although he does not believe in discrimination, he fears the executive order’s potential effect on nonprofit groups that contract with the government. Jindal said such groups should be allowed to discriminate in their hiring practices while still receiving tax dollars.
“I’d want to make sure we weren’t driving out faith-based providers from state government, from providing state services,” Jindal said.”
“Jindal, meanwhile, is the only candidate to call for the repeal of hate-crimes laws, which provide added penalties for crimes motivated by animosity toward a particular person or group based on race, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation.”
And of course a statement by a spokesperson from one of Bobby’s loyal supporters showing that excessive religious self-indulgence severely lessens the mind’s capability toward rational thought:
“Gene Mills, director of the Family Forum, said the term “sexual orientation” could be broadly construed to include pedophiles as a protected class of worker in state government.
“If one describes his propensity for minors as a sexual orientation and it says there should not be grounds for firing, then you arguably have a legal dilemma there,” Mills said.”
Sexual orientation is defined as to which sex one is attracted to. Pedophilia refers to one who has sex with children. Almost 98% of reported cases of this sickness is attributed to adults, and most of them are bat-shit crazy religionists. The rest are just sickos.
Homosexuals aren’t into this type of thing… many of them have suffered during their childhoods at the hands of the creatures mentioned above. The last thing on their minds is to commit the same atrocities inflicted upon their bodies.
As for the Trans folk, never would that kind of desire cross our minds, but we are about gender identity and not orientation. Yet all of us are painted with a “heterosexual crime” brush wielded by the hands of morons who ARE NOT in touch with themselves, their identities or their sexualities.
Next thing these nut-jobs will want is to be allowed to burn witches. Oh shit! That’ll be strike three for me! Just bugger me with a telephone pole.
