I was once framed for treason by my jealous best friend. My prison was an island where the State sent all the criminals of whom it was most ashamed. There, I met an old priest, who had once burned a church full of revolutionaries. He taught me to read, to sword fight, to speak many languages and of business and finance. The priest also told me of a vast treasure on another island. After a daring escape and finding the treasure, I reinvented myself as a wealthy, mysterious Count, orchestrating an elaborate revenge against my betrayers while also rewarding those who showed me kindness, ultimately finding redemption and hope.

Burnet’s was great. Incredible Friday night hang. They knew how to pour a drink. Stuffed mushrooms were next level.

None for me, thanks.

This is similar to the statement that the federal government does nothing well except for the military. Untrue and misleading statement. It is true that the US military is lethal, but it is not "well run." We're overpaying for everything and contractors are making out like bandits. In fact, they need to change that expression to reflect how much better military contractors are making out than bandits. The expression should be, "They're making out like military contractors." But the supply of money for the military in congressional budgets and black budgets is so great that the pissing away of money gets ignored often.

So, too, goes LSU sports. The product (football and men's basketball) makes a shitload of money. Affiliated contractors and all the remora fish around the programs make out like military contractors. But, like the federal government, there is a lot of meat left on the bone, stripped off by vultures and also generally pissed away. See, Brian Kelly's buyout, and Lane Kiffen's eventual buyout when this thing crashes in spectacular fashion +/- five years.

Other federal government and state programs don't have the fishes and loaves aspect to them. And most people like our military, football and men's basketball teams. No one likes to run the highways, other than the contractors who make out like contractors to piecemeal pave roads. Our roads are laughably bad. Go drive to Arkansas and Texas and regard how the quality of roads change when you hit the state line. Schools are shite. We pay salaries to incompetents. Our kids can't read or add. Sure, there's money for the contractors to sell smart boards and siege machines for the highly-publicized violence that "keeps" being perpetrated by the deranged and incorrigibly violent among us. But there's no touchdowns to cheer for or sweet dunks when it comes to highways and readin'.

So, you get a shithole.
