The indicted black US rep, William Jefferson, ran again for his seat and has made the runoff. Jefferson was caught red-handed taking bribes which he stored in the freezer of his home. He set up fake corporations that fleeced humanitarian aid supposedly meant for africans in need. He operated with african leaders to pull off this scheme. It is impossible for him to avoid jail time in this case unless a technicality gets him off the hook.
I am outraged that the citizens of new orleans that voted this jackass into the runoff. He is extremely popular with the uneducated black voters, including those who are bussed to the polls and provided a free hot dog and chili meal for their trouble!!!!! Too bad I have no say in this because the populus is 70% black, and apparently very few of them care about the city. Status quo is perfect for those who voted for William Jefferson, because at least these folks know that the handouts will continue.
Sad day in my home town. And I, for one, will now consider moving. Things will never change here until the citizens get their shit together.
