There's less reasons to live here (New Orleans) everyday. It isn't cheap anymore, the flood of hipster gentrifiers has fixed that. There's still aren't any decent paying IT jobs, unless you're willing to work for DHS or the Navy, the cops still arrest anyone and everyone as fast as they can, and the government has gone completely batshit. Where the fuck do I go? Houston? HOUSTON?

Well, my guess is that since the military is run by Taliban analogues and the rank and file trend right, they won't have to worry about running out of blue state resources. They'll have the firepower to take what they need. With God's blessing, of course.<br /><br />---

Is that surprising? The Rhodes Trust was set up to fund colonials' education so they would return home and rule in British interests. Now it's the G8 instead of Britain, but it seems to be functioning perfectly. There is a reason that whenever you see a Rhodes Scholar, you see someone from an exploitable backwater ruling in the interests of the very Upper Class.

If Louisiana could just totally swap the prison population for the state's politician population, they'd improve things by an order of magnitude. With luck, Florida and Texas would be inspired by the success of the scheme.

I'm not ready to asume they've even found a loophole. Someone really needs to be digging into this.

That might be the only noticeable difference, but it'd still be a good thing.

Sandusky is allowed 2 pairs of shoes, six changes of underwear and a bible. So yes.

I assume the bible is so he can make a paper mache' gun and shoot himself.
