What Makes Louisiana Different?

Well, a lot of things, but among them is a long and colorful hsitory of political corruption. Needless to say, it's rearing its head in the hurricane recovery efforts and Mostly Cajun has a great post about it.
Yep, the same corrupt political practices that have plagued Louisiana (and New Orleans) politics for decades are still with us in the the post-Katrina/post-Rita days.

"In Louisiana, they don't tolerate corruption; they insist on it," laughs Pelican State native Fred Smith, president of the Washington-based Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Read it all, it's funny and informative.
