Well, there will always be conservative Republicans, and some good ideas that go with them. And the push-pull with other parties is a good thing.

It’s just the hyper-faux-religious, racist, felonious, greedy, stupid, hypocritical ones that need to go. They’ll always exist, sure, but they don’t have any place running the city/state/nation.

Let them keep to themselves while we try to improve education, infrastructure, health care, international relations and safety, food security, the environment, and our economy.

Because right now, they’re screwing all that stuff up in the name of greed and racism and hypocrisy, coincidentally now the current official GOP platform.

So much for your judgement capabilities.

Our national embarrassments will continue but on a state and county and local level, it's been a bloodbath for the Freedom Caucus here. Hooray, we elected a bunch of conservative Republicans! Who aren't batshit crazy but they're still conservative Republicans! It's funny what passes for good news around here.

To be fair, I hired a trio of folks from foreign med schools and they were my best players. As someone who graduated from LSU (went in dumb, come out dumb too) college and med school, sometimes it’s possible to rise above the setting. Examples: Lake Charles high school graduate Tony Kushner, and my college roommate that I’ve mentioned before who became a planetary scientist and discovered the furthest known object in the solar system. 

So, labeling someone as incapable because they’re a FMG (foreign medical graduate) is a prejudice that can let you miss some very competent folks.

Given the US med school acceptance rate of 3%-4%... it's where the B students go (noting that B now approximates a C or C- for anyone over 50).

Louisiana does not let me down. They could’ve at least hired a LSU Med Center graduate. Tulane, though, would be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Ann Whitney, an essential worker, told commissioners she doesn't wear a mask in the same way she doesn't wear underwear.

"Things gotta breathe," she said.

The wailing this crowd did over fascism when they were told to wear a mask during a pandemic was exhausting. To hear them cheer it on now is a WTF moment.
