I'm sure they do, but it doesn't mean that it will all wash. C Ray and Dollar Bill thought the same and see where they're at.....

Unfortunately our local media, who are supposed to act as political watchdogs, do not seem to be peeling back the layers yet. I'm a little shocked really. I haven't seen on thing from The Lens, who were so good at exposing political corruption after Katrina.

They got this done in a matter of hours.

It was a half arse job. Apparently you didn't watch the shite show that unfolded last night.

You clearly haven't seen any of the work take place. The people doing the work are clueless. It's very obvious the people doing this work don't do this kind of work for a living.

I didn't watch much of the video last night, but it looked like they did remember their harnesses this time.

does anyone have any good pictures of the JLG Manlift? I saw one leaving the city this morning with no company stickers but I did catch the truck that was carrying it.

I want to see if its the same one

Dude, it was so bad. I've seen better riggers on tree crews. It was obvious these guys (who were either cops or firemen) hadn't ever done this before, and there was no one on the site who did either

At one point, they had a strap tied around the horse's ankle. It was too long. Their solution? Twist it around a bunch of times until it got tight

I hope the faceplate somehow dropped on Mitch. fricking a-hole. I get more mad every time I see a pic of the base. That looks like absolute dogshit, and it's likely going to stay that way for a while.

Funny thing, no one places the blame on the idiot voters who voted for JBE. I'm sure Vitter at the very least would have stalled if not killed this thing outright.

Mitch could've gathered much more political capital had he wrapped these evil monuments in det cord and had a cripple black kid push the go boom button.
