Environmental Armageddon

A

or gloss over the cleanup. Thick muck is washing up on beaches and creeping into fragile marshes, wreaking damage that will take years — possibly decades — to repair. State Sen. Norby Chabert, D-Chauvin, whose district includes southern Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, took to the Senate floor last week and called the disaster an “environmental Armageddon.” It was not hyperbole. The damage from the oil flow exceeds that of the Exxon Valdez many times over. A Band-Aid approach to the cleanup, with feel-good photo ops and “green” TV ads, will not do. BP and the feds must be in this for the long haul.

• Once the exact causes of the blowout are determined, don’t overreact. America needs every drop of domestic oil, obtained safely and responsibly. It’s entirely possible

Never forget that 11 men died in the explosion.

that adequate safeguards and protocols were already in place, but BP just didn’t follow them. If additional regulations are needed, Congress and the President should not hesitate to impose them — and Big Oil must recognize safety comes first.

• Finally, don’t squander the opportunity presented by this disaster. Just as Hurricane Katrina gave south Louisiana enormous challenges as well as opportunities, the president should recognize this catastrophe also presents the feds with the chance, finally, to rebuild Louisiana’s coastal wetlands. This will require a significant and sustained infusion of cash, but the cost of not doing it is far greater.

Fortunately, the state already has a longterm plan for wetland restoration. All that’s needed is the federal will to make it happen.

Frankly, after all the letdowns attendant to this ongoing disaster, America owes us nothing less.

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > JUNE 01 > 2010

fter one quick visit on May 2 — slightly less than two weeks after the Deepwater Horizon explosion — President Barack Obama returned to coastal Louisiana last Friday, May 28, to survey the worst environmental calamity in U.S. history. His visit came right after BP’s initial “top kill” attempt failed to stop the flow of oil in the midst of the ongoing disaster, which was then in its 38th day. Even if subsequent top kill efforts succeed — and everyone in south Louisiana has been praying that they would — the oil that has already gushed forth from the Gulf floor is wreaking unprecedented damage on America’s wetlands. If early efforts to cap the well fail, it may well take until August to stop the flow via a relief well that is still being drilled. Whenever the oil flow stops, Louisiana faces a heretofore unequaled environmental disaster.

The reaction across America to the mounting crisis has been one of shock and disbelief, but here in Louisiana there’s a large dose of anger to go with it. Our anger should be America’s anger, because what happens to our coast happens to all of America — environmentally, economically and culturally.

As a sign that America “gets it,” the president’s visit was welcome, if a bit overdue. A CNN poll last week showed that a slim majority of Americans disapproved of the Obama administration’s handling of the crisis. A poll of Louisiana voters no doubt would have given the president even lower marks. The president himself admitted on the eve of his visit last week that “it took too long for us” to accurately gauge the extent of the oil leak, and he accepted full responsibility for the efforts going forward. The really bad news for the president is that there’s little his administration can do to cap the gusher in the Gulf. Unfortunately, the people who caused this disaster are also the folks with the technology needed to stop the flow and clean up the mess. For his part, the president should focus on four long-term responses: • Hold BP and its officials accountable for every penny of immediate and longterm damage to our coast, to our wetlands, to our economy, and to our culture.

This starts with an honest and thorough investigation into the disaster’s causes, BP’s response, and the full extent of the environmental damage. The repercussions must include the possibility of criminal as well as civil penalties. Never forget that 11 men died in the explosion. Their families deserve to know how and why they died — and who, if anyone, was responsible.

• Make sure BP does not cut corners

of New Orleans’ older cemeteries, is surrounded with wall burial vaults. A second section was added in 1895.

The chapel, completed in 1876, resembles a small chancel of a Gothic church. On the altar is a statue of St. Roch and his dog. The shrine is where grateful petitioners have left crutches and other items testifying to the miraculous cures worked through the intercessions of St. Roch.

Father Thevis’ remains are under the floor in front of the altar.

St. Roch Cemetery, at the intersection of St. Roch and Derbigny streets, was created to honor a very special saint.

He was born in Montpellier, France around 1295, and was the son of the governor of the town. It was reported that at birth he had a red cross on his chest.

He was orphaned when he was 20 years old and inherited the governorship, which he ceded to his uncle.

The young man gave his fortune to the poor and went on a pilgrimage to Rome. On the way, he stopped at a town stricken with the plague, and with his touch, victims were healed.

The story goes that everywhere the young man went, he cured all those he touched.

Eventually he was afflicted. He did not want to be a burden to anyone, so he went to a hut in a forest to die. A dog discovered the sick man, however, and licked his wounds and brought him bread every day. The man recovered.

He eventually returned home to France, but no one An old tradition in recognized him.

Father Peter Leonard Thevis built New Orleans involved Because he refused this chapel and the surrounding young girls making a to identify himself, cemetery to honor St. Roch, whom pilgrimage to St. Roch’s he was accused of he believed kept his Holy Trinity being a spy and Catholic Church congregation safe Chapel on Good Friday.

The belief was that any was put in prison, during a yellow fever epidemic in maiden who prayed and where he and his 1868. left a donation at nine dog cared for other Photo by Kandace Power Graves different churches durprisoners for five ing the pilgrimage would years, until he died in 1327. At his death, the red cross on be guaranteed to find a husband within his chest and documents in his clothes a year.

The young women who visited St. Roch revealed his identity.

He was canonized 100 years later and is Cemetery picked special four-leaf clovers the saint of dogs and dog lovers. His feast that had red spots on them. It is said the spots came from the blood of a bride-today is Aug. 16.

When New Orleans was plagued with a be who committed suicide on the grave yellow fever epidemic in 1868, Father Peter of her intended and splattered blood Leonard Thevis, pastor of the Holy Trinity everywhere.

There are churches throughout the Catholic Church, remembered St. Roch had helped people during the plague, so world named to honor St. Roch, as well he and his congregation prayed to the as streets, towns, bridges and a train station. But my favorite recognition of saint for help during the epidemic.

Thevis promised to build a chapel to this saint is in Claremont, Calif., home St. Roch. None of his congregation suc- of St. Roch Dog Rescue, an organization cumbed to the disease, and the priest dedicated to helping homeless dogs. Its kept his promise. In addition to the shrine, motto is “Serving dogs of all faiths and Thevis built a cemetery which, like several no faith at all.”

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

“Good morning committee, guests, witnesses, masochists.

Ms. Hudson, would you call the roll, please?” — Rep. Ernest Wooton, R-Belle Chasse, using his authority as chairman to welcome everyone in attendance at last week’s meeting of the House Criminal Justice Committee.

“We do believe in limited government, but the federal government does have a few core responsibilities.” — Kyle Plotkin, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s spokesman, threading the needle as to why Jindal is zealously pursuing federal disaster relief for the Gulf oil catastrophe.

‘SUNSHINE’ STaNDOFF

There were no clear winners when the New Orleans City Council and state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson pulled Senate Bill 583 last week, killing it for this year’s legislative session.

Touted as a “clarification” of the state’s Open Meetings Law, the bill drew fire from media and others because it would allow public bodies of four or fewer committee members to meet informally to discuss public business, provided no decisions or votes were taken.

City Council President Arnie Fielkow and other council members argued that a narrow interpretation of the current law would bar almost any two council members from discussing council business in private because the governing body’s committees consist of three members each. Council Chief of State Evelyn Pugh, a veteran of City Hall and an attorney, supported the council’s interpretation of the law.

How would you characterize the Obama administration’s response to the Gulf oil disaster?

this week’s heroes and zeroes

The New Orleans Solar School Initiative (NOSSI), a partnership between several companies and the City of New Orleans, has outfitted Joseph A. Craig Elementary School in Treme with a solar array that will provide the school with sustainable energy. It’s the second installation

by NOSSI, which aims to bring solar power to public schools. Craig Elementary’s new building opened in January and replaces one damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Mos Def and Ben Jaffe

teamed up to write a song titled “It Ain’t My Fault” during the weekend of the Gulf Aid concert in mid-May. The two men then stayed up all night to record it with Lenny Kravitz, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, Tim Robbins and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The resulting jam will soon be on sale at the iTunes Music Store, and part of the proceeds will benefit the Gulf Relief Foundation.

Paddy Power,

an online gambling website headquartered in Ireland, has begun offering odds on which forms of sea life will be the first to become extinct following BP’s Gulf oil catastrophe. Visitors can place odds on endangered turtles, fish and even the Louisiana brown pelican. Within the first 24 hours, more than 50 bets were placed.

The wages of sin may be death, but these wagers of death are a sin.

Posing as telephone repairmen, O’Keefe and Joseph Basel, Stan Dai and Robert Flanagan entered the New Orleans offices of Sen.

of Staten Island in New York — has become a regular on radio’s syndicated Stephanie Miller Show (introduced by the Rivingtons’ “Papa OomMow-Mow”), issued his first comedy CD and performed a one-man show titled The Year of Living Rudely, which led The New York Times to dub the Pundit “a child of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and Hunter S. Thompson.” (The paper also could have mentioned Sam Kinison, Lewis Black and Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi.) And this fall, Papa’s first book, The Rude Pundit’s Almanac, will be published.

Not bad for a man who moved to Cajun country at the age of 4 from Queens, N.Y., grew up in Lafayette, and studied at Tulane (“briefly”) and the University of Southwestern Louisiana.

AS A CAReNCRO HIgH SCHOOL SOPHomore, Papa’s contribution to the local science fair consisted of two dioramas: one representing creation, the other representing evolution. As he remembers it, a judge wanted him to reconcile the two concepts — “which is, you know, stupid,” Papa remembers. “So I said, ‘Well, I guess you could say that god created the Big Bang and sort of got things going,’ and that pleased him to no end.

“Of course, being a cocky bastard, I added, ‘But that’s not what happened.’”

Though he may share the politics of a better known Cajun country pundit, James Carville, the resemblance stops there. Papa says his blog “probably (has)become a bit less profane, if only for the sake of not becoming boring.

I mean, there’s only so many sodomy jokes one can make.” And Carville is unlikely, as Papa has, to recommend setting the CeO of BP on fire, or to tell his readers, “The entire ‘I Want My Country Back’ meme is such a lie because that crazy woman with that sign never had her country. And it ain’t going back because what she wants to go back to never existed.”

Papa’s inspirations, he says, were the protest publications of the 1960s, “old-time muckrakers” and comedianturned-pundit-turned-Sen. Al Franken.

“When Franken’s book Lies (and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them) came out, there was this uproar over how Franken was ‘lowering the level of political discourse,’” Papa says. “I read it and found Franken thoughtful, reasonable, and vaguely profane at times.

“So I thought, ‘That’s not lowering political discourse. Let me show you what lowering political discourse is.’”

Thus was born the Rude Pundit.

Papa came by his jaundiced eye for

FOR THOSe WHO THINK THe MAINSTReAM media are liberal, reading a few entries by the Rude Pundit may be the verbal equivalent of knocking back a shot of gasoline;

his invective regarding Ann Coulter and Dick Cheney is only suitable for a family newspaper published by the Manson family. Left though he may lean, however, Papa is no ideologue.

“If it was Bush who was letting BP run the show, the howls from the left would be deafening,” he says. “Maybe by the time this interview comes out, things’ll change, but the Obama administration, which has been active and involved since day one, needs to treat this like a terrorist attack, bringing everything it has to take care of such an emergency, shoving BP aside until they get the bill.” (A few days later, on his blog, the Pundit wrote, “How

do you think this plays out? That some f—ing miracle happens? That BP pays every dollar to every fisherman, every shrimper, every marsh tour boat operator, every business that has to cut back or shutter because of lost tourist dollars? That Congress will pass any regulations that have gums, let alone teeth?

That President Obama will put on his Aquaman Underoos and dive down a mile to personally shove a cork into it?

Hey, if we’re gonna fantasize, we may as well have fun with it.”)

Still, Papa is wary of being accused of carpetbagging — or carpetblogging — Louisiana’s tragedies from his perch in New York. “If any of your readers want to respond with a ‘Screw you. You don’t live here anymore,’ well, you’re right,” he says. “But my family’s there, and your legislators’ incompetence is helping them live amidst ignorance and pollution.”

And speaking of ignorance, Mr. Pundit: Whatever happened at that science fair in Lafayette?

“I got second place. I think I lost to the volcano,” Papa says, adding philosophically, “One always loses to the volcano.”

politics naturally; he lived in Louisiana until 1990 and has visited family and friends here many times since. “My memories are everything from taking public elementary school French classes,” he says, “to celebrating the turn of the millennium at the Masonic Temple in New Orleans with Galactic playing, to wandering ruins after (Hurricanes) Andrew and Katrina.”

The Rude Pundit was making verbal mincemeat out of the Bush-Cheney administration long before Katrina, but “Katrina was a game changer for my older brother,” Papa says. “He had been a happy Rush-listening conservative who didn’t give a damn about politics. But he took a trip with me to see the ruins of Slidell, of St. Bernard Parish and of the Lower 9th (Ward). We peeked inside mud-filled houses. We walked past boats in the middle of the street. We talked to grown men who broke down crying. And it made him give up on Bush.

“I’m not going to carpetbag my own reaction to Katrina because I didn’t live it on a day-to-day basis,” he adds. “But when I walked up to the barge that was in the middle of the street in the Lower 9th, it was staggering. And, really, there was no way to convey that to anyone who didn’t stand there, but I felt it was my job to let my readers know that this was not how it was supposed to be.”

BP, not surprisingly, is the current target of his rude punditry. On May 25, he wrote, “When (BP) managing director Robert Dudley says that ‘there’s nobody — nobody — who is more devastated by what has happened’ than BP, well, what can one say to such touching human emotion other than ‘We hope you get raped by alligators while the pelicans cheer.’ For, see, if BP was honestly devastated by the oil gushing out of the hole in the ocean floor in any way other than its bottom line, then why the f— is it resisting or delaying anything asked of it?”

For Papa, it’s personal. “I’ve had friends who work out on the rigs. The parents of friends growing up used to go sevenand-seven,” he says. “When I was a kid, we would go down to Grand Isle and to the delta parishes for festivals or fishing.

Again, I’m not gonna act like I’m debating whether to put my shrimp boat in dry dock and fire the crew. But it’s heartbreaking, for so many reasons, not the least of which, as with the levees, it was preventable, but greed — simple greed — got in the way.

“Like Katrina, though, it’s another catastrophe that’s going to wreak havoc for years. This is the start. Wait until oil starts appearing in the Atchafalaya.”

member committee structure presents a legal issue that has never been directly addressed in the law,” Pugh said. “Out of an abundance of caution, the council has even avoided meeting in groups of two when both members sit on the same standing committee.”

Critics of the bill disagreed, saying the current law allows casual discussions by two members of a public body. They also feared that amending the statewide application of the Open Meetings Law to address a New Orleans situation would only encourage police juries and parish councils elsewhere to form committees of four or fewer to circumvent the law.

Peterson introduced the bill at the request of the City Council, but seemed only too happy to withdraw it in the face of growing opposition. Pugh noted that the decision to pull the bill came after council members realized that “continuing to push for this clarification in the law may undermine the public’s trust, which this council has worked so hard to cultivate.”

While the withdrawal of Peterson’s bill appeared to be a victory for open meetings advocates, the council’s dilemma remains — along with the increased possibility that council members will meet in groups of two, as suggested by critics of the bill. — Clancy DuBos

New Court, City hall

A long-sought new Civil District Court building is taking a big step closer to reality, along with another long-held dream of a new City Hall, thanks to a bill pending final legislative approval. Senate Bill 159

by Sen. Edwin Murray, D-New Orleans, authorizes the state commissioner of administration to enter into a cooperative endeavor agreement with the City of New Orleans to redevelop the sites of the former Louisiana Supreme Court and the former State Office Building at 325 Loyola Ave. as the new Civil Courts Building — and as a “municipal complex.”

Murray’s bill already has cleared the Senate and was unanimously approved by the House Appropriations Committee. “As originally introduced, the bill would have made the state-owned sites available for a new courthouse,” Murray told Gambit.

“But our new mayor asked me to amend it so it could also be a site for a new City Hall, and so we did that on the Senate floor.

Both projects have been talked about for a long time.”

Murray’s bill awaits a vote by the full House and, if approved, the signature of Gov. Bobby Jindal. Murray also has a companion bill to help pay for the new courthouse. Senate Bill 750 authorizes the judges and clerk to increase various filing fees at Civil Court, with all of the increases dedicated to paying for a new courthouse.

That bill was approved last week by the Senate Judiciary B Committee. It awaits Senate floor action and consideration by the House. — DuBos

House Bill 1388 by Rep. Juan LaFonta, D-New Orleans, addresses the concerns of some of the folks who stand guard at our favorite events, like Jazz Fest and Saints games. It adds a board member with experience in security and festivals and specifies who should pay for a $40 background check when it comes to event staffers versus security personnel. “When we’re talking about charging a security background check for someone who’s literally wearing a T-shirt and directing people or basically someone holding a flashlight or someone keeping a door locked, we were just concerned about the transverses they have to go through,” LaFonta says. His bill is awaiting a hearing. — Jeremy Alford

On May 19, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s 2009 personal financial disclosure report was posted on the Louisiana Board of Ethics’ website (www.ethics.state.la.us) and revealed he had received between $50,000 and $100,000 last year from Regnery, the Washington D.C.-based publisher of his forthcoming book, Real Hope, Real Change: New Conservative Solutions to Rescue America (previously titled On Solid Ground: Returning to America’s Core Values). The five-figure sum was an advance on sales, though full terms of the contract weren’t made public.

As of May 21 (one month after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded), Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin was telling the Baton Rouge Advocate the book was still on track for a July 12 release, but by May 25 that changed, and the publication date was moved to “later in the year.” In an email to the website Politico, Regnery President Marji Ross said, “We understand and support the governor’s commitment to focus 150 percent of his attention on the BP oil spill and its impact on Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.”

The timing couldn’t be worse for Jindal to be promoting his “new conservative solutions,” given his increasingly frustrated requests for federal disaster assistance.

Sen. Bob Menendez, D.-N.J., tweaked Jindal by saying, “You know, the governor of Louisiana says the federal government should stay out of the states’ business.”

Jindal’s book deal had been in place since April 2009, at which time the governor said, “I’d be writing this book even if I never ran for anything again.” Jindal continues to insist he has no designs on the White House, though he might want to remind his publisher of that. Regnery’s biography of the governor/author says, “As a rising star in the GOP party, [sic] Jindal is considered a strong possible contender for the 2012 presidential election.”

The groups’ real strength may come in the form of another currency, says one veteran lobbyist. Over the years, LFF has built up a massive list of supporters who are ready to go to war on a moment’s notice in the name of religion.

“They’ve carefully branded themselves and wrapped themselves in the American flag,” says the lobbyist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “They’re a subset of the Republican Party and are in close with [Gov. Bobby] Jindal and [U.S. Sen. David] Vitter. Some people may have not taken

Family Forum seriously in the beginning, but they better now. They’ve got stroke.”

Mills laughs off the notion that LFF serves as a puppet for the state GOP. When asked if he were a registered Republican, however, Mills did not hesitate. “I am,” he says.

“For now.” He adds that pressure has been building in recent years for LFF to join other Louisiana Republicans under a big tent, something Mills says he has resisted. “I get criticized a lot,” Mills says. “But I don’t want to be a surrogate for the party.”

Mills quickly adds that LFFA has found itself sitting beside an unlikely partner this year, a pairing that either means hell is freezing over or the bill the group opposes is a real stinker: As lawmakers consider withdrawing from a national ID card program, Mills has aligned himself with the American Civil Liberties Union to support the move.

House Bill 870 is about protecting privacy, Mills says, but his supporters shouldn’t read too much into his newfound — and no doubt temporary — alliance with the ACLU. “Even a broken clock gets the time right twice a day,” he says, smiling.

he way Rep. Bubba Chaney tells it, he was “ambushed” by the Louisiana Family Forum (LFF) in late April when he presented legislation to modify the process for selecting public school textbooks. Schoolbooks are a hotbutton topic for Christian conservatives, especially when it comes to evolution and biological sciences.

Heavy hitters such as LFF co-founder Darrell White, a former judge, and law professor Michelle Ghetti were lined up to address the House Education Committee.

Chaney, D-Rayville, who filed House Bill 50 several weeks earlier, had no idea his legislation had opposition. “If we had an opportunity to talk to these folks, we could have worked it out,” he said afterward.

Whether or not LFF intended to “ambush” the bill, several committee members (but not Chaney) were contacted by the group beforehand. The bill died in committee that day.

LFF Executive Director Gene Mills, a familiar face around the Capitol during legislative sessions, commented in May that politics can be like war. “And you don’t go to a gunfight with a knife in your hand,” he said.

So far this session, LFF has successfully pushed legislation requiring ultrasounds before abortions and a “Preservation of Religious Freedoms Act.” But that’s just the beginning. LFF is beginning to weigh in on fiscal policy, opposing the use of the socalled rainy day fund to balance the current year’s budget.

The group also worked against what its members dubbed the “Stranger Adoption Bill.” Authored by Rep. Juan LaFonta, D-New Orleans, the measure would have allowed two unrelated adults to adopt a child. LFF labeled the measure a vehicle for same-sex couples to adopt, for which LaFonta made no excuses in defending his failed bill.

Unlike Chaney, LaFonta was unfazed by the defeat, perhaps because he faces off against LFF on more issues than some other lawmakers. He expects to see more of the group in coming years. “They’re very professional,” he says. “I’ve never had a concern with them. Seriously. And it’s not just these kinds of bills. Family Forum is beginning to get involved in other issues, too.”

As a 501(c)(3), LFF was not originally created to lobby the Legislature. That’s why another related entity — Louisiana Family Forum Action, a 501(c)(4) — was formed in 2004. According to records on file with the state Board of Ethics, Mills is the only lobbyist representing LFFA, which has spent nearly $29,000 since January 2009 hosting, entertaining, educating, meeting with and otherwise influencing lawmakers.

As for where LFF and LFFA get their money, Mills says only that individuals, churches

The orwellian Multi—Tasker ov. Bobby Jindal is getting a lesson in multi-tasking these days.

He’s spending most of his time in coastal Louisiana soaking up network photo ops in connection with the Gulf oil disaster, but at the same time he’s also trying to keep tabs (and tight controls) on an increasingly contentious legislative session in Baton Rouge. So far, he appears to be doing better at the former.

The governor’s most far-reaching bills — those to overhaul higher education and address current and projected budget shortfalls — have sputtered, much like his national ambitions. Now in his third year as governor, Jindal is starting to wear thin among lawmakers. These can be treacherous times for a governor.

While his major initiatives have stalled, one bill not to the governor’s liking has gathered momentum and is headed right at him. Senate Bill 407 by Sen. Joe McPherson, D-Woodworth, would roll back a $15 increase in the cost of Louisiana driver’s licenses. The higher fees caught most lawmakers by surprise when the State Police announced in March that the agency

G

was relying on a 1989 law to increase the cost of all driver’s licenses by $15. That boosted the cost of a regular license from $21.50 to $36.50.

As taxes and fees go, this one is small potatoes, yet it has the potential to vex Jindal, who aspires to maintain his tax virginity at all costs. He does that mostly by playing an old political word game: supporting “fees” but not “taxes.” Jindal’s administration supports the higher fee and therefore opposes McPherson’s bill.

The higher fee generates about $13.6 million a year. McPherson’s bill would roll back the increase and require the Office of Motor Vehicles to refund the difference to drivers who obtained or renewed licenses since March 8. That would take another $5 million out of the current fiscal year’s budget, which is already several hundred million dollars out of whack.

Louisiana State Police Col. Mike Edmonson, who also serves as deputy secretary of the state Department of Public Safety and Corrections, said he determined there is a need to improve the convenience, security and integrity of the licensing system

— including safeguards against terrorism, identity theft and fraud. Edmonson says the 1989 law allows for such fee increases without a legislative vote.

McPherson disagrees, and so far he has convinced the Senate and two House committees to see things his way. His bill awaits final action on the House floor before going to Jindal’s desk — where the governor will have to decide whether to sign the measure, veto it, or let it become law without his signature.

Publicly, Jindal has made no pronouncements about McPherson’s bill, but lawmakers know he opposes it. Several of Jindal’s aides filled out “opposition cards” in the House Ways and Means Committee during a hearing on the measure last week, and Edmonson asked the committee’s chairman, Rep. Hunter Greene, R-Baton Rouge, to delay the scheduled hearing on it. Edmonson is appointed by Jindal and serves at the governor’s pleasure.

Greene refused to delay the hearing.

McPherson noted that the bill already was delayed a week in the Senate at Jindal’s request. He called the administration’s

move “a stall-and-kill tactic.”

On one level, the McPherson bill puts Jindal in a bind. If he can’t get his allies to kill the measure, he will have to take a stand on it himself when it reaches his desk. If that happens in the next week or so, lawmakers could consider overriding a veto before adjourning June 21. Besides, a veto would antagonize many voters.

On the other hand, Jindal is not above jumping to the front of an anti-tax movement and taking credit for its success — even after opposing it earlier. Look at how deftly he reversed himself on the Stelly Tax rollback in 2008. First he fought the rollback, then announced he was for it … and has taken credit ever since for reducing taxes.

My money says history will repeat itself.

Jindal will do all he can to kill the bill, then sign it if it passes — and take credit for lowering an unpopular fee increase. Never mind that his administration imposed the fee in the first place.

George Orwell would love this guy. Just imagine what he might do once he learns to multi-task.

18

In survey after survey, folks in Louisiana have voted Rouses their favorite supermarket. So what makes us different?

We’re exactly like you. We were born here, we were raised here. Our buyers are based right here in Louisiana. They travel the state and the world to bring you the freshest and best products at the lowest price. Our cooks, bakers, butchers and seafood boilers grew up using the same ingredients and recipes you use at home. They know what you like to eat because it’s what they like to eat. And our managers and team members treat you like neighbors, because they are your neighbors. That’s the local difference. That’s Rouses.

The Times Grill offers a taste of Southern pride with its chicken-fried steak burger.

Where’s the beef?

Apparently it’s everywhere around the city, where bars, burger joints and diners serve up their own variations of the classic.

Beachcorner Bar & Grill’s 10-oz. “spicy burger” attributes its extra kick to hot sauce and jalapeno peppers.

Checkpoint Charlie’s Cajun burger adds spice with hot sauce and Cajun seasoning on its half-pound Angus beef patty. The S.O.B burger at Hard Rock Cafe mixes hot and cool with a spicy chipotle pepper puree and guacamole. The Clubhouse Bar & Grill’s Squealing Bull features 10 ounces of meat, stuffed and topped with cheddar cheese and bacon.

Everything is bigger in Texas, which might explain Down the Hatch’s Texan burger, which tops a halfpound black Angus ground beef patty with caramelized onions, smoked bacon, cheddar cheese and a fried egg.

Oscar’s serves a half-pound beef burger with an overstuffed baked potato. The Philly burger at Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar comes on a toasted hoagie bun piled high with grilled onions, sauteed peppers and mushrooms and is smothered in creamy cheese sauce and aged white ched-

dar. It may be a seafood restaurant, but Bonefish Grill serves as Americanstyle Kobe beef burger on a soft brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, special sauce and cheddar cheese. Igor’s Bar & Grill’s eponymous Igor burger is a standard half-pound burger.

Its cousin Igor’s Buddha Belly spices up a Cajun burger with Tony Chachere seasoning and hot sauce. It may be meatless, but the veggie burger at Brooks Seahorse Saloon is still hearty with the choice of jalapeno poppers, egg rolls, fries or nuggets on the side. The famous burger at Clover Grill is grilled under a hubcap and is customizable with a variety of fixings. Squeal BarB-Q’s Big Squeal, a 10-oz. burger blend of hot sausage and ground beef, is dressed with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles and mayonnaise.

Take a break from waffles and try the Hot Dot burger at Dot’s Diner, a blend of hot sausage and ground beef garnished with lettuce, tomato and American cheese. The Cheeseburger in Paradise at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Cafe comes with American cheese, lettuce, tomato and that song stuck in your head for the rest of the meal. Elizabeth’s tops its Dream burger with signature house-made praline bacon and blue cheese.

At Chateau du Lac, the filet burger is topped with lettuce, tomato, housemade mayonnaise, cornichons and blue or Swiss cheese, and there’s an optional seared foie gras upgrade. At Hooter’s, the house burger is served with a choice of bacon, chili, grilled onions or mushrooms and either cheddar, Jack, American or provolone cheese. Bacon mushroom cheeseburgers are served on white or wheat buns or pistolettes at Lakeview Harbor. At Krystal, single and doublestack cheeseburgers are dressed with pickles and onions. St. Charles Tavern’s Primanti burger features a half-pound patty on ciabatta with coleslaw. The deli burger at O’Henry’s is topped with sliced pastrami and melted Monterey Jack cheese and served dressed.

The Western burger at Friar Tuck’s saddles a halfpound patty with pepper Jack cheese, red onion and barbecue sauce. Phil’s Grill offers a seemingly endless

pork Pigging out. Going whole hog. A plethora of porcine metaphors is testament to the pig’s legendary appetite for anything, which is rivaled only by our appetite for bacon, pork chops, ham and other dishes cut from the same tasty cloth.

LaBella’s Catering wraps beef tenderloin in pork loin and rubs the whole dish with cracked garlic and Creole spices. Pork floats aside vermicelli noodles, carrots, cucumber, green onion, fried shallots and peanuts in Kim Anh’s Noodle House’s pork soup.

At the Milk Bar at Cafe Prytania, smoked ham is mated with mozzarella, asparagus and hollandaise sauce in the rather brutally titled “speared pig” sandwich.

Cafe Reconcile asphyxiates rather than impales its pork, serving smothered pork chops with sides like mashed sweet potatoes and smothered okra. Fried pig ears with cane syrup mustard and paneed pork cheeks with baked peanuts and radish-turnip salad ensure that Cochon lives up to its name. Fat Hen Grill takes it slow and easy, roasting garlic-braised pork roast for a leisurely seven hours and dishing it up with onions, mushrooms

and sweet potatoes. At Herbsaint, chef Donald Link slow roasts Kurobuta pork belly and serves it with sticky rice and grilled date agrodolce. Pork shoulder is slow roasted and served with its own juices, sweet potatoes and baked beans at On the Bayou Restaurant.

Restaurant sweetens the pan-roasted fowl with apple cider pan gravy. Abita Brew Pub’s Abita Boudin quail is a veritable who’s who of Louisiana mainstay dishes: It consists of fried quail with boudin served on a bed of andouille cornbread stuffing. Annadele’s Plantation’s quail dish ups the cuteness factor by adding lamb chops to the mix, along with grilled asparagus and pepper jelly-infused beurre blanc. Bayona’s crispy smoked quail salad is served with pears and molasses dressing. At Emeril’s, farmraised quail is stuffed with mushrooms and crabmeat and served with Brabant potatoes and haricots vert.

A pair of grilled quail is served with mushroom sauce, pasta and mixed vegetables at La Crepe Nanou.

According to its website, the research institution’s methods have elevated overall survival rates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent when it opened to 80 percent today. The facility stands alone as the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment that is not covered by insurance.

In that giving spirit, St. Jude will host its annual Dream Home Giveaway (www.dreamhome.org) in New Orleans.

PHOTOS BY LAUREN CLARICE CROSS “This is our re-inaugural year, and the response has proven it,” says Andree Miller, event marketing representative. “Several of these homes are given away across the country. On Sunday, June 13, a televised special will air on WVUE-Fox 8 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Toward the end of the program, the winner of the home will be drawn.”

Sponsors for the event include Willow Homes, WVUE-Fox 8, WNOE FM, Iberiabank, Hancock Fabrics and Halpern’s Furnishing Store. Tickets can be purchased at Iberiabank or Hancock Fabrics locations in the region. Only 6,000 tickets will be sold.

In addition to the home, ticket holders have a chance to win 11 prizes, each valued at $1,000 or more. These include a $1,000 gift certificate to Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse, dinner for two for a year at Catch Seafood Pub, and a Talo SmartTouch kitchen faucet and accessories package.

The two-story home in the Brentwood subdivision is appraised at $300,000. It has four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a garage. The majority of building materials was donated by area subcontractors, Miller says, and other suppliers and volunteers made the project possible.

characterizes the company’s shows.

“There’s always a man in a dress,” says Dorian Rush, another founding member.

“Because a man in a dress is funny. And it’s always going to upset your senses.”

Read takes a practical view. “We don’t really draw attention to the fact that they’re men in dresses,” he says. “It’s not really a drag show, it’s just the reality that exists on our stage. It’s our own little world, but it’s a welcoming little world.”

A visit to an early rehearsal of The Really Desperate Housewives of Stepford Parish revealed a tight group joyously inventing the show as they ran through the book, constantly sharing ideas and making each other laugh. The original script of The Stepford Wives movie provided a foundation and mixed easily with hilarious elements from current reality television. “We’re a family. Everybody loves and trusts each other,” says Rush, who recently won a Big Easy Award for her work in Livin’ Janis. “I tried a little bit of theater outside the group. But most people don’t want your input.”

So what’s the funniest thing that ever happened at Running With Scissors? “It’s nothing you can pinpoint,” Rush says.

“There have been moments in every single show where we’ve had to stop rehearsal because Richard Read has fallen on the floor on his stomach laughing, and we had to wait for him to stop. All of us get the giggles. It’s part of the beauty of it. ‘The funniest thing’ happens all the time.”

he term “mash-up” has only recently found its way into dictionaries, where it’s typically defined as a type of music remix or Web application. But for a decade, New Orleans’ Running With Scissors theater company has used local stages to pioneer the peculiar art of the pop-culture mashup. Starting with Texas Chainsaw 90210, its first production in 2000, and continuing with such memorable works as The Titanic Adventures of the Love Boat Poseidon and now The Really Desperate Housewives of Stepford Parish, the troupe has repeatedly dropped all kinds of cultural ephemera into a blender just for the sheer pleasure of tasting the resulting concoctions.

“We just have sort of a broad mission to entertain,” says Richard Read, a founding member of the company and its unofficial manager and show director. “I sometimes think of art — or whatever you want to call it — as sort of a broad spectrum. At one end of the spectrum you have high art, and at the other end entertainment.

I can’t speak for the rest of the company, but I veer toward the entertainment, and every so often throw in little glimpses of art — one sweet little touching moment, even if we throw it on the ground and step on it about five seconds later. But we probably wouldn’t do anything that didn’t have a lot of camp value, whether we did it as a mash-up or as more of a straight piece.”

To that end, one consistent element

Running With Scissors explores domestic bliss in its newest mashup comedy.

In Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, the kids of neighbors in an idyllic New Hampshire town meet as youngsters, fall in love and marry, and the audience watches their lives together. Director Anthony Bean updates the work from its original time period in the early 1900s to the middle of the century in a racially diverse community.

Tickets $20 general admission, $18 students/seniors.

BONAPARTE PAIS

ON THE RECORD

Free Range PLANTS AND ANIMALS’ LA LA LAND. here’s no mistaking the warm West Coast vibe on Plants and Animals’ La La Land (Secret City) — except, maybe, to the band that made it. The all-analog Laurel Canyon atmosphere of the Montreal trio’s second LP hits like a refracted Highway 1 sunset, in fuzz-loving electric guitars and stoned harmonies on 1970s-liberated songs that carry regional winks like “Tom Cruz,” “American Idol,” “Kon Tiki” and “The Mama Papa.”

“You never really know what you’ve got until the end,” says singer/guitarist Warren Spicer. “It didn’t really occur to me that it’s this West Coast, L.A. record, even though it’s called La La Land. I think it’s valid; I just don’t think I realized it while I was doing any of it. Which is probably a good thing too, because it means it was coming from me naturally and not trying to impose something on a record.”

The accidental thread is less the influence of California dreaming than adjusting to a new life as a touring band. Since debuting with the acclaimed, largely acoustic Parc Avenue in early 2008, Plants and Animals has followed the path of fellow Montrealers Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and labelmate Patrick Watson, going from local favorite to U.S. road warriors.

“There’s something about touring,” Spicer says. “Looking out a van window, watching TV in a hotel room — those things just kind of creep into the music.”

The band’s sound has evolved in turn.

When it came time to take Parc Avenue’s sprawling, shaggy tunes on the road, Spicer left behind the acoustic guitars and adornments — string arrangements

by Arcade Fire’s Sarah Neufeld; an entire boys’ choir; literal bells and whistles — and leaned instead on the effects pedals.

“It just didn’t work onstage with three guys, so we had to figure out another way to do it,” he says. “We went for energy over instrumentation.”

La La Land, as a result, is both bigger and boiled down. “American Idol” and “The Mama Papa” bristle with the energy of a reborn power trio, representing the twin peaks of two divergent sides laid down on different continents. After tracking much of side A in its neighborhood Treatment Room studio, the band jetted

“You’re living in this mansion and it’s filled with old audio equipment,” Spicer says. “It’s kind of surreal. You look around and go, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t believe this.

But 20 minutes in you’re just thinking about the music. It all kind of informs what you’re doing. … When we sequenced the record, we didn’t really realize it, but the first six songs are all from Montreal, and the last five songs are all from Paris.

It’s totally compartmentalized.”

Where Parc Avenue was a communal affair, evidenced by the forest glen love-in on the album’s cover, La La Land is “a little more focused on the three of us,” Spicer notes. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some memorable embellishments. Colin Stetson, who also performs with Arcade Fire, rips off a blustery saxophone bridge in “American Idol,” echoing another of the album’s in-joke titles, “Future From the ’80s.”

“That solo is real. We took a chance on that one,” Spicer says, laughing. And as might be expected, he’s taken some heat for it. “Everyone’s got their own opinion. Yeah, I’ve heard other things, but, I mean, f—k ’em. Whatever. It’s a good sax solo.”

preview

Mime is Money PHOTO BY GARY LOVERDE

Not only are the mimes talking now, they’re dropping F-bombs. “I don’t like my shit f—ked up, girl,” JeanEric, dressed in Parisian stripes and red ties, chanted at the CAC’s preview of Fantastic Mr. Fox in February.

The single, a militant cowbell-and-bongo dance command dubbed “Bull in a China Shop,” couldn’t better summarize the showy Shreveport transplants and flagship band of Defend New Orleans’ DNO Records.

With flamboyant flair, Jean-Eric’s abrasive style and increasingly infamous particle-colliding parties are putting the “performance” back in performance art.

It’s the perfect act to continue the modernization of New Orleans’ museums, a welcome trend that’s beginning to resemble a highbrow throwdown: NOMA adopted 9th Warders Quintron and Miss Pussycat; the Ogden embraces bounce. For the opening of “Swamp Tours: Exploring the Louisiana Contemporary Collection,” featuring “unusual and unexpected acquisitions” by Clementine Hunter, Michael Frolich, Robert Tannen and others, the grande dame clearly wants its shit f—ked up: It’s handing the keys to four NC-17 exhibitionists and an in-your-face sidewalkstepping dance troupe (Gris Gris Strut). En garde, Ogden. Free admission. “Swamp Tours” runs through Aug. 22. — Noah Bonaparte Pais

review

BRIT WIT — The Big Top screens

Private Arts

Peter Woditsch’s Secret Museums takes viewers on a wonderfully graphic tour of erotic art largely kept from public view, and almost none of it publishable here with this preview (sorry). In a world inundated with crass depictions of sexuality (porn, advertising), much of the work seems vibrant, celebratory and almost charmingly innocent. But its unavoidable prurience has relegated work by artists and writers from Picasso to Voltaire to private collections and the sequestered archives of museums, where it is only available to curators and scholars. The film starts by asking what is out there, preserved in these secret hoards — including that of the Vatican, which reportedly has a particularly large collection? But the greater question is why the work is kept from public view, even by public museums, and what interest that serves? Most of the film is shot in Europe, and much of it is subtitled in English.

Secret Museums is one of several films in Zeitgeist’s “Sex in The Central City” series, which addresses sex and sexuality in a slate supported by the John Burton Harter Charitable Trust. Tickets $7 general admission, $6 students/seniors, $5 Zeitgeist members. — Will Coviello

It’s been said “the ordinary becomes extraordinary” in the color photographs of William Greiner, and that is both true and not. Although the places he photographs are fundamentally ordinary, his ironic vision reveals there is more to it than that. Sport Palace is a nocturnal view of a vaguely Deco Jefferson Highway tavern, but the crimson reflections of its neon sign in a puddle in the parking lot seem as eerie as a scene from a Raymond Chandler or Barry Gifford novel. Even so, most of these places simply are what they are — or maybe more so. For instance, Malts is a jazzy, colorful composition featuring the faded fossil of a fast food joint from the era of cars with big fins, and London Lodge depicts a fabulous 1950s motel rising like a mirage just past a huge sinkhole in the adjacent street like the gaping maw of an apocalyptic landscape. Here Greiner takes us down the lost highways of the American Dream to places that once embodied progress but over time became elegiac outposts and poetic reliquaries for the pop-cultural curiosities of the past.

Although born in California and based in Wisconsin for nearly 40 years, Warrington Colescott’s Creole roots are showing in this Sweet Suite Louisiana print series at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The 89-yearold artist’s New Orleans lineage is apparent in these flamboyantly colorful intaglio prints depicting scenes from Louisiana history. Audubon in the Atchafalaya has the artist/naturalist spying on graceful egrets as Cajuns and raccoons scarf down crawfish along the bayous. The City Defeated, Occupied, Women Behave Badly illustrates Civil War-era damsels mooning the Union troops, while other images depict epochal events like Huey Long’s assassination and Storyville’s last days. Nearly as teeming with characters and subplots as HBO’s Treme, they illustrate the bravura technique of a master printer who has a lot to say and doesn’t let his age get in his way. — D. Eric Bookhardt

PHOTO BY LIBBY NEVINGER

Sophocles and Kathy Randels have at least one stage preference in common: sunlight. Both of them put on plays outdoors. Randels’ ArtSpot Productions collaborated in last year’s highly regarded Loup Garou in City Park. She is currently performing in Go Ye Therefore ... in a backyard on St. Roch Avenue.

The home that serves as stage and backdrop for the show was damaged by the 2005 levee failures. It is raised on pillars and undergoing restoration. In spite of several references, the play is not about Hurricane Katrina, but water infiltrates Jeff Beck’s ingenious set. These waters are almost subliminal and therefore all the more effective. For instance, pulley systems used to change the set are animated by weighted buckets.

Randels and collaborator Rebecca Mwase spent nine months writing the piece, and it’s well thought-out and well presented. They are the only actors, and they perform with a great deal of gusto under the direction of Ashley Sparks.

The piece begins in the evocative slanting light of twilight, but it is aptly illuminated throughout with lighting by Hannah Adams. Emanuel Burke accompanies the show on the keyboard. Most of the songs are hymns because the story is about two women, one black and one white, who are both the daughters of Baptist preachers.

Go Ye Therefore ... is more of a collage than a narrative and touches on immediate and far-reaching material, including imperialism, patriarchy, slavery, the Southern Baptists’ original position on slavery and much else.

The visuals are wonderfully simple and effective, and the performances have a great assurance. There are constant transformations, so gender, time and place are slippery. The actors range from rooftop sermons to walking in the aisles.

Assisting the transformations are the imaginative costume designs of Laura Sirkin-Brown. The audience moves with the action from set to set. It’s a flashback to the 1960s when this sort of participatory theater exploded onto the scene, but rarely have I seen performance art so entertaining and thought-provoking. A tip of the hat to Randels and Mwase for taking this risk and pulling it off. — Dalt Wonk THRU JUN

For an extra bit of nostalgia, there’s a classic car show. Other festivities include a run/walk, a motorcycle rally, children’s activities and more. Proceeds support the foundation’s mission to monitor water quality and help restore and preserve the Pontchartrain Basin. Its efforts helped get Lake Pontchartrain off the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality’s Impaired Water Bodies list in 2006. “Now more than ever — with the oil spill and recognizing the threats to our environment — we encourage people to come out and enjoy this great resource,” says Anne Rheams, director of the foundation. Tickets $10 general admission, $8 students with ID, $4 children 12 and under. — Sarah Eddington

Limited hours

CHECK, PLEASE

A simple and satisfying seafood shack on the lake

Summer Camp A LAKEFRONT SHACK SHOWCASES LOCAL SEAFOOD. B Y I A N M C N U LT Y ocal seafood plays a role in many things besides recipes in Louisiana, and those relationships explain some of the deep dread we’re feeling as the BP oil disaster imperils it.

Seafood is entwined with a facet of local identity, with the culture of camps and docks, with casual feasts of plenty in surroundings that so often exude the Louisiana sense of place. You know such settings when you see them, and you can’t miss it at Frenier, a notch on the western edge of Lake Pontchartrain in St. John the Baptist Parish.

Frenier is essentially a collection of camps built around a boat launch in a clearing of cypress forest off Hwy. 51, the ground-level predecessor to Hwy. 55 leading north from LaPlace. A few years back, New Orleans native Louie Lipps opened a snowball stand to serve the boat launch crowd here. Like everything else in Frenier, the stand was elevated high on pilings and Lipps soon developed the space beneath as the Crab Trap. More camps are cropping up now, as are restaurants. Frenier Landing, an impressively designed, mid-range seafood place, opened on the water’s edge last year, and the burger and seafood joint Gilligan’s by the Lake will open soon a few paces inland.

Meanwhile, the Crab Trap remains a picture of rudimentary utility that is both charming and efficient. Its indoor space is defined by plastic sheets stretched between pilings, though most people sit outside around plastic tables, the better to enjoy the lake breeze and view while working through boiled crabs and clusters of longnecks.

Lipps grew up in such trappings. In the early 1960s,

Sharon Blanchard and Louis Lipps serve boiled seafood at the Crab Trap.

his parents ran one of the great old joints stilted over the eastern New Orleans lakefront, Frank & Rita’s Mama Lou’s Seafood Restaurant. As a young man, he helped his father run a shrimp boat from Venice and he now works crab traps on the lake that partially supply his restaurant.

As the gravel and grass parking lot fills with boat trailers on weekend afternoons, Lipps stays busy beneath the snowball stand tending boiling pots and vats of sauce for New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp. Crabs, hacked into chunks, are cooked in the same buttery, peppery sauce, crowded with handfuls of chopped garlic. The boiled seafood, together with corn, potatoes and hot sausage, is brought to the table on platters lined with newspaper stockpiled for months, so you may get the thrill of rereading about past Saints glory while eating today’s catch.

On Thursdays, the Crab Trap takes reservations for an all-you-can-eat boiled seafood deal with beer included for $30 a head.

Though Frenier is a bit obscure as dining destinations go, Lipps has seized on a memorable marketing handle, calling the scene there “the new West End,” a reference to the concentration of seafood restaurants on the New Orleans lakefront wrecked by successive hurricanes. On weekend evenings, with the sun setting over the water and boats coming in for the day, with people pulling up for dinner and kids running around with snowballs as their parents work through piles of crabs and shrimp, the tag certainly feels right. Lipps says his supply remains secure for now, but no one in south Louisiana can take this stuff for granted anymore.

Alandra Tinto

ALENTEJO, PORTUGAL / $8-$9 Retail Light-bodied Alandra Tinto from the Esporao estate is a perfect red quaffing wine for summer. It was made from a blend of grapes sourced from several vineyards located about 110 miles south of Lisbon. Charmingly rustic, this well-made wine achieves harmony with richly textured fruit, balanced acidity and polished tannins. In the glass, the wine exudes aromas of ripe black and red fruit with a touch of earthiness. Flavors of blackberry, cherry, cassis and currants persist over a medium-length finish. Decant an hour before serving. Enjoy it with roast lamb, grilled or barbecued pork, pasta, cheese and pizza. Buy it at: Terranova Brothers Superette, Calhoun Superette and Martin Wine Cellar. Drink it at: Orleans Grapevine Wine Bar & Bistro and Bar Tonique.
