79. Certainly not our politicians
Piyoush Jindal (R), who has to change his name to "Bobby" to get all of the racists to vote for him, is about to become our Governor. And honestly I can't say that our current Governor Kathleen Blanco (D) is any better. There's a few Democrats that I'd rather see be Goveror than Piyoush, but for many of them it's very hard to find a difference.

The only thing that keeps people showing up to vote for most of the Democrats in this state, is that the Republicans say and do unbelievable things. You'd be amazed how much more you want to vote for Mary Landrieu after her opponent Suzzie Terrell accuses her of having "lost her Catholicism".

But yea there's quite a few good things about Louisiana. For starters, our food is to die for.
