Bad news here: the self-proclaimed pastor, who is planning a 9/11 mass Koran burning in Florida, says a even warning from America's top general in Afghanistan may not deter him. » More


I'm working on this Labor Day. And darn happy about it. Because 1 and 10 Americans have no job to go to. Not counting those under-employed or who've given up looking for work. And it's the biggest issue this election season. » More


Who's dodging who when it comes to debates in the Louisiana Senate race? Depends on who you're debating with -- David Vitter or Charlie Melancon. » More


Hall of Famer and Shreveport favorite son Terry Bradshaw brought some knee slapping humor to his hometown, including some good natured ribbing with Mayor Cedric Glover that had a room of 500 people hee hawing. Except for one guy at the next table over from Glover. One of his challengers, Roy Burrell. » More


From truth or dare, to daring to go before a judge on the size of campaign signs, some interesting developments in the Shreveport Mayor's race. » More


If you're a Louisiana Democrat dreaming that your nominees can knock off the incumbent Republicans (Sen. David Vitter and Rep. John Fleming), independent candidates will likely crush any hope Dems might have. » More


After getting hammered again by humorist and top critic Jon Stewart, it's high time Fox News own up to it: that its second largest shareholder is a Saudi businessman whose charity has donated to the so-called "Ground Zero" mosque. But, far as I can tell, Fox remains silent. And that's wrong. » More


Worse than Al Qaeda. That's what he said about America. The imam leading the way on the so-called Ground Zero mosque says we're worse than Al Qaeda. And this guy calls himself a bridge builder? The more we hear from this guy, the more Americans will want to make a u-turn from anything he wants to build. » More


Remember how the Dems' health care reform was sold to the people? That it would lower costs and reduce the deficit? Democrats are now being told to back off those claims, and wisely so. » More


Noticed this? GOP Sen. David Vitter and his presumed Democratic challenger Charlie Melancon are already attacking each other in tv ads. "What primary? We don't need no stinking primary," they seem to be saying. And the latest is -- Melancon » More


Forget for a moment the "wisdom" of whether to build the mosque and Islamic community center near Ground Zero. What about the wisdom of politicians talking about it? » More


If President Obama thought he could quell the controversy over the so-called Ground Zero mosque, he was sorely mistaken. He's just given the GOP another issue to hammer him and Democrats with. » More


That term 'hero' sure is flying around loosely. That's what some are calling the drama queen/flight attendant who slid out of his parked jet after a tiff with an older lady passenger at JFK. » More


Have you heard this? Hillary to the rescue of President Obama in 2012? » More


Not to diminish the men or the importance of the moment. But the first forum for candidates running for Shreveport Mayor did nothing to change the dynamic of the race. » More


Perhaps he has reason to be nervous -- or "paranoid" -- as some say. But Louisiana's junior senator seems to be bracing himself and his supporters for an onslaught of mud. » More


Opponents of the idea of revising the 14th Amendment --which grants automatic U.S. citizenship to those born in the U.S. -- think they have something to hammer the GOP with. But they may have missed the nail. » More


Talk about a scathing letter. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer's union council is slamming the agency's leadership as being politicized, and weakening the credibility of the Obama administration's efforts on the border as it challenges Arizona's crackdown. » More


Time to call an ambulance? The massive healthcare reform law that President Obama and Democrats may tout as a victory for change in the upcoming election has suffered back-to-back injuries. » More


It looks like the fight is over regarding the so-called Ground Zero Mosque. But are the Muslims behind the project really interested in building bridges with Americans still scarred by the 9-11 attacks? » More


I snapped this picture of Mayor Glover hitting the celebratory first tee shot at a SPAR golf tournament on Saturday. The result of that shot may be a 180 from the direction he should take his re-election campaign. » More


It's high school reunion time. Our 30th! And yep, that's me back in the day. » More


As we near the anniversary of the first Beer Summit, maybe it's time for another. Maybe President Obama should sit down with his Ag Secretary and the the woman who -- it appears -- was unfairly fired after a video flap. I say they serve Beck's beer. » More


Staunch "family values" voters who thought they had another GOP option in the U.S. Senate race might want to look away. This could get ugly. » More


Maybe that resolution by the NAACP for the TEA Party to rid itself of racial elements is doing some good. Thanks to a racially-tinged, satirical response, a TEA Party group leader has gotten the boot. » More


Which of these three could help campaign the most for Congressional candidates? Obama, Clinton or Palin? » More


Ten grand. Ten-thousand clams. A hundred Benjies. Yep, that's what we all paid for this one sign to let passersby know that a stimulus project is underway. Got a shovel ready? » More


OK, you're anchor for the day for CBS' Meet the Press. Are you smarter than Bob Schieffer? Do you know what questions to ask the Attorney General? Because apparantly Bob didn't. » More

The Senator's seemingly smooth journey back from the DC Madam scandal is suddenly about to hit some rough road. » More

Two top political leaders are saying some surprising things. » More


We're getting more words and probably less action on the issue of immigration reform. » More


The post-race America that Barack Obama promised as a presidential candidate is taking a hit, after his DOJ dropped charges against some Black Panthers in a slam dunk case of voter intimidation the day he was elected. » More


Here's the scoop on VP Joe Biden's trip to the gulf. Hopefully dessert at his last stop helped put him in a better mood. » More


Choosing U.S. Supreme Court nominees is arguably the most important thing our president does. The choice is a lasting legacy. And there's probably no mystery about President Obama's latest choice. » More


OK, it's Friday. Let's have some fun laughing at my profession -- the news media. For some reason, they've given me a hankering for a beer. Brilliant! » More


Ever have one of those moments where something makes you laugh? And then a moment later makes you mad? Yeah, that would be this. » More


I guess it's no surprise. Gen. Stanley McChrystal is out. Good thing President Obama has a great fallback. » More


Boy, do we have a lot to talk about! McChrystal generally screws up big time; a judge smacks down the Obama administration's drilling moratorium; and -- holy frijoles! -- the prez said what to a senator?! » More


If some bizarre creature like this Yoda-like space hound landed in Shreveport and barked the command, "Take me to your leader!" where would you take him? » More


The RNC slams President Obama with a video, claiming he failed to heed the call for action on the oil spill crisis. » More


The president's strong words don't seem to match the action we're seeing on the gulf coast. » More
