After Further Review…..LouisianaVoice is back!

October 21, 2018 by tomaswell

Okay, folks, against my better judgment, I’m back—but on a much more restricted basis.

My “retirement” is shorter than that of Brett Favre. I’m harder to get rid of than love bugs in May and can on occasion create as much stink as a dead armadillo on a Louisiana highway on a hot August day.

Admittedly, I am a political news junkie and it’s impossible for me to stand on the sidelines and watch our elected officials get away with questionable and unethical, if not downright illegal actions.

So, here’s the deal. I’m returning to the fray but because of the strain on my somewhat diminished vision, my posts will have a decidedly different look about them: no more long, detailed essays. Instead, I’ll just be posting terse notes with a few accompanying acerbic comments and whenever possible, links you can go to for more details.

Call it The Reader’s Digest version of LouisianaVoice, McLouisianaVoice, or LouisianaVoice Cliff Notes. Whatever, I hope you like it.

Our first post under the new format will be on Monday (October 22).

Glad to hear you’re getting back in harness.

Btw, did you see Carville’s letter to the editor on the targeting call.

Once a political junkie, always a political junkie. It’s hard to beat the addiction! Why? Because you care. We care. And we need you. I almost deleted the icon for this site, but didn’t yet. Thank God, I didn’t! We love you, this site gives us a voice on local issues, and you give us an insight into things we all may not be aware of. I am so sorry about the eyesight giving up, but please, keep on posting. We all appreciate you tremendously.

So glad your back Tom, Lord knows we need a straight-shooter like yourself keeping an ever watchful eye on criminal activity in, and around, Louisiana State Government.

P.S. What if anything are they going to do to that corrupt state police Col. Michael Edmonson that ripped the state tax payers, and the federal government off ?
