While we continue researching the deleterious impacts of SPS on the local bar and work on a longer term project for the next series of posts that will kick up one of those patented Slabbed shit storms allow me to offer a few links for the consideration of the Slabbed Nation.
First up is that we could have been a contender food blog. I actually love to cook and have the waistline to prove it and actually have wondered of late how I would be able to cook Thanksgiving dinner without compromising Saintsgiving. So while I decide whether or not we head to the Silver Slipper or cook at home next Thursday I know I’ll try the Chocolate Pecan Pie recipe in today’s Judy Walker’s food column regardless.
Next up is disgraced Judge Thomas pOrteous. The trial summary has now been released and the next stop is the impeachment vote, probably by the middle of next month. I think our readers will get a kick out of Porteous lawyer / publicity hound Jonathan Turley, who has been doing the gentle pump of his crooked client on his blog.
Moving right along I saw the B.B. “Sixty” Rayburn Correction Center at Angie has a new chapel thanks to some big-hearted donors. Sixty’s name came up earlier this week while we were on assignment in NOLA. I had the chance to spend a couple of days intermittently talking with Sixty over a decade ago and the part of his Wiki bio about him being “A raconteur, Rayburn entertained many with his lively reminiscences of the historic (Earl) Long era” is spot on. Sixty had stories on Mississippi’s Governor Bilbo too as he was originally a Mississippi guy. They just don’t make politicians (crooked or otherwise) like Sixty Rayburn anymore.
Finally we have more wacky and wild adventures here in Mississippi, this time in central Mississippi. It seems some folks at the Mendenhall High School have a hatred of Breast Cancer research to go along with the tails they sport.Now while we hate to see the brave young man who exposed these breast cancer research hating yahoos suffer, especially since his legal team is part of the Slabbed Nation, I must add that I look forward to seeing Mendenhall suffer mightily on the gridiron come Friday night in the Bay as the Rocks make another state championship run. Down here on the coast, men generally love breasts unconditionally and we unwaveringly support research to cure any malady that would befall them.
I peeked in drafts and saw Nowdy has a post coming on Ex Rel Rigsby so stay tuned and as always we thank you for your support.

Turley – I saw that recently and though what in the he11 is that all about? That guy is supposed to be a scholar but apparently he will just sell his opinion out like some kind of two bit street corner hooker or Dane Ciolino or something.
I’ll remember this the next time he pops up on tv cable news as an expert.
The shame of it all is that their “best argument” to not impeach Porteous is “well, yeah, he may have done some bad things, but we promise he will not return to the bench if you just let him get to retirement age in a few months.” I’m dead serious! Are you freaking kidding me – just impeach him and get this chapter of Louisiana justice over with.
