for the Mad Mango, but not by the margins you'd expect. Not deep red like most of the state, except for the lower middle swath and Birmingham.

Maybe there is hope!

they are very necessary to a Jones win

Hopefully they will realize how they screwed up on the last election

Not only would a Jones win enrage the mango, but it would send a clear message to the GOP that we aren't going to stand by while our country turns into a fascist shit hole.

We fight the alligators as we swim through the swamps to get to work. Stereotype us! Oh yeh, I forgot we have the stupid duck dynasty Robertsons. THEY stereotyped us normal southern coonasses!

The people were great to work with. The was a guy in the unit with a pronounced Cajun accent. He got a kick out of me translating his Cajun french into Parisian french.

There was a mom-and-pop seafood restaurant just outside the Belle Chasse gate - Lil' Jills maybe - where I ate every Saturday drill night. The food was as good as anything in New Orleans at a fraction of the price.

Flying down on Friday nights and back on Sunday nights got stinking old but I really liked Belle Chasse.
