Sports Writer Mike Triplett: Saint Fairytales Are Alive And Well

Here is how Triplett started off his article in the Times Picayune of 1/25/13.  "Sean Payton made a bold move on his second day back on the  job.  And he made the right move.  Firing Steve Spagnuolo etc. etc."  Triplett forgot to remind his readers that it was the same Sean Payton that hired Spagnuolo.  How bold is bold.  A really bold move would have been not letting bountygate take place.

Triplett seems to think a new coordinator who uses a 3-4 defense is the answer but hedges his bet a little by saying there is no guarantee.  It is going to be fun to see what Triplett writes after a new coordinator is hired and his predictions for next season with Payton back on the field. 

It is this writers opinion that the Saints football team lost more than a head coach this past season that will be reflected in their future record.

The Phoniness Of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal And The National Republican Party

Jindal and republican leaders met in Charlotte, N.C., recently to try and figure out why their candidate Mitt Romney lost the 2012 presidential election.  They acknowledged the urgent need to make their party more welcoming to a broader cross section of America according to an article published in the Times Picayune dated Jan. 25, 2013.

Governor Jindal said it was time to recalibrate the compass of conservatism.  Now that is what I call a brilliant observation from the little boy governor.  Not only is he the leader of the "stupid party" in Louisiana, he is a co sponsor of the republican party's attempt to put lipstick on a pig by changing the brand name of their unAmerican conservative ideology.

The republican party and Jindal's position during the 2012 election was to personally attack President Obama, his policies and his job performance which is their basic s.o.p. and talking points.  When the voters rejected their phoniness, their feeling of being elite was deflated.  The reelection of Obama prompted the little boy governor to say "republicans had to stop being the stupid party."  Now everyone knows that Jindal was part of that "stupid party" during the campaign with his stupid comments.

Jindal thinks of himself as a national candidate but as this writer expressed here in an earlier comment, he does not have the qualifications and will not be on any national ticket.  A close examination of Jindal's record as governor of Louisiana will reveal just how much harm he has done to the state.  Jindal and the republican party by their unAmerican ideology have exposed how phony they really are.
