Figured he’d have renamed New York first
re: Have you ever lost the brakes on a vehicle while driving?
Posted by Harvey Vortac on 10/19/26 at 1:17 pm to PalletJack
Yes the day I got my drivers license. I was driving my parents 82 Tercel, pressed the brake and it went all the way to floor with no pressure, thankfully it was a 4 speed manual so I could down shift to slow down.

college football is only sport without a real playoff.
One of the greatest things about college football was that it wasn’t like every other sport.
I loved when the national championships were mythical. The ambiguity made it interesting. I cared about the bowl games.
I stopped caring about the NFL years ago. I still follow the Saints but I won’t even casually watch any other NFL games to include playoffs and Superbowl, I just don’t care anymore. College ball is rapidly driving down that same road.

Why all the hate? We get a decent place to eat and the poor folks who can’t afford it make fun. Oh well. I heard Applebees has a special this weekend.
Is it worth driving from New Orleans to try it? My experience is that Haute Cuisine doesn’t advertise.

I’d expect fewer general or flag officers in the future. Same with Senior Enlisted. The current position from the Pentagon is we are too top heavy with rank

Not sure why the downvotes. This is a great move to allow competition for children’s education
I am more concerned with down the line strings from the government of this becomes part of a private school business model……I can see a world where schools could be coerced by government into teaching (or not teaching) subjects/world/religious view in order to acquire what is bound to become an entitlement.
Though not a voucher, government backed educational entitlements are very much part of the higher education business model and are partly responsible for high educational costs with limited backend earning potential.

re: New Orleans asks Supreme Court to reject removal of Calvin Duncan’s seat as Orleans Clerk

You could apply this same reasoning to actions Landry is taking. He's upset that Murrill was indicted in New Orleans. The indictment was thrown out and he's wasting resources investigating who allowed the indictment to happen and why. The outcome is the same regardless. Landry's instance of wasting resources is to preserve or inflate egos. Interfering with the outcome of a local election simply because the Legislature possesses the constitutional authority to restructure the office is a bit different. The existence of that authority doesn't make every exercise of it prudent or democratically legitimate, particularly when it's exercised after an election in a way that prevents the elected official from serving his term.
One is a forgone conclusion…there will eventually only be one Clerk of Court in New Orleans.
Liz Murril fought back and got in front of that issue. Had Murril not fought back do you think the case would have been dropped or pursued? The state is investigating the potential misconduct on the issue, would anyone really be surprised by misconduct in Orleans Parish Criminal Court?
Say your right and Landry is continuing to investigate for petty reasons and the exercise is ultimately a waste of time or resources I don’t see how that makes what New Orleans is doing somehow less wasteful.
The win in this scenario is that this constitutional card can’t be played again in this way…
The Orleans parish power brokers will have to decide who to back moving forward it will still be a democrat just one fewer on the machine payroll.
