[StBernard] Not all crooks are in Louisiana

[Westley Annis]

Oh Gawd.  Some of the folks on the weather blog I read called this one the
Incest Bowl.

	-----------------------------------------------------
	OFFENSIVE LINE: Alabama state representative Alvin Holmes was
outraged
	when he didn't get his customary two free tickets to the Iron Bowl,
the
	annual football game between Auburn University and the University of
	Alabama, held in late November. "I did a survey with other members
of
	the Legislature to determine whether they got their tickets, and
they
	did," Holmes whined. He announced to the media that he intended to
file
	suit against Auburn for the slight, and to compel Auburn's
president,
	Jay Gogue, to testify about why Holmes was omitted. However, Gogue
says
	Holmes was sent tickets, along with a pass for free preferred
parking,
	just like every other legislator, which prompted the state's
newspapers
	to look into the practice. They found it costs the host university
	about $100,000 per year to offer the freebies to lawmakers, leading
to
	editorials decrying the ethical implications and demanding that the
	giveaways be halted. (Huntsville Times) ...Threats to sue over not
	getting unethical freebies? All hail the newly crowned king of
	entitlement!
