Mini Mayor's Dysfunctional Family of So-Called Executives

Lamar "working"


The second highest reading on the Mini Mayor Misery Index is Lamar White.  But it's not just Lamar White, its the entire dysfunctional family of city executives that Mini Mayor hired.  Do you think these people do any work?  They don't.  Kay Michiels has spent her last 6 months shaking down contractors for contributions to the Mini Mayor for Mayor campaign fund.  How else you think Mini Mayor could buy that billboard?

What is Kay Michiels' job?  Mini Mayor needs money.  No problem.  Call a bunch of city contractors.  South Alexandria needs Sugarhouse Road?  Forget about it.  But you can trust Madiba when I tell you that Kay Michiels does "work" after hours.  I hear its here best "work".

Can anybody tell me what Chuck Johnson does besides flirt with contract attorneys and run up big expense reports?  Champagne and cocaine.  Is it true that the men's restroom on the second floor of city hall says Chuck spends his PM with A.M.?  Whatever could that mean?

Mike Marcotte might as well work for CLECO.

David Crutchfield has another fulltime job and is rarely at city hall working.  Check the records if you don't believe Madiba.

Lisa Harris - Jack of all Trades, Master of None.

Lamar.  Do I even need to add anything?

And then there's Mini Mayor himself.  If a camera isn't on, he ain't "working".

How To Act At A Candidate Forum


Politically Dead Man Walking

The Men of Kappa Alpha Psi are holding a mayor's forum at city hall tonight.  We offer this advice to Mini Mayor on how to improve over the last forum where he lied and politically died. Ken Luneau charges $300 an hour for this advice, but we doing it free of charge.

1)  Show up.  This is really important.  If you want to look like you care, then attend the event.  Don't turn your nose up like you did the NAACP.

2)  Sit where you are supposed to sit.  This  shows that you have respect for your hosts and that you can follow the rules.

3)  Don't argue with the moderator.  See #2.

4)  Don't act like African Americans make you sick.  There are 4 other candidates in the mayor's race.  They are all African Americans.  You will probably have to sit next to one of them.  If you have to, grin and bear it so you don't look like the racist you are.

5)  Don't bring Bradley the Bodyguard.  He makes you look like a paranoid little freak of a hairball.  And reminds us what a coward you really are.

6) Don't have Bradley the Bodyguard throw the camaraman out the room.  See #5.

7)  Don't have Kay Cell throw the camaraman out the room with your wife there.  Very disrespectful to your wife.  Careful were your eyes are when Kay Cell walks around the room.

8)  Don't make your staff take seats from citizens who want to see the candidates.  Shows how scared and paranoid you are.

9)  Don't tell any lies.

10)  Forget 1-9.  No way you can NOT do any of this, so just skip it and start your midnight staring into the mirror a little early tomorrow night.

Employees Do Fear Reprisal

Mini Mayor's Two Mouths
Mini Mayor is a lying hypocrite.  Mini Mayor was talking the other day about how employees shouldn't fear reprisals for afterhours activities.  Yeah, OK, whatever.  Here's what Alexandria employees do fear:

Speaking out against Mini Mayor about anything

Calling into a radio station that Mini Mayor watches like R. Kelly watches kids at a daycare

Publicly speaking out about Fetal Freddy blogging all day at work and taxpayers paying for it

Publicly discussing the sleeping around at city hall and Mini Mayor's affairs

Publicly discussing the messed up Half Moon Productions movie "deal" and the utter stupidity of Bill Hess

Publicly talking about Ken Luneau and Mini Mayor ghost writing articles and editorials for the Clan of the To-To

Publicly disclosing the messed up details of the HIP deal

Publicly speaking out on Mini Mayor's staff free lunch program paid for by taxpayers

Publicly speaking out about Mini Mayor's backroom meetings with Cleco

Revealing details of the messed up closed door meetings of the city council

We could go on, but you get the point.  Mini Mayor wanted Fetal Freddy to print that hit piece on EMS, but when Ken Luneau found out about it, they shut it down.  Listen to what Fetal Freddy is telling you.  That is what Mini Mayor is saying to Fetal Freddy.  It was no mistake what Fetal Freddy wrote.  It would be a mistake if any Alexandria employee wrote something less than worshiping His Most High and Hopeless Mini Mayor.

Wendy Wednesday!



It's Wednesday, so it must be time for a message from Wendy Roy.

"Hey y'all!  Things have really changed since last week.  Maybe y'all weren't at the crawfish boil at Spirits 2 months ago, but Ken made this really funny joke about how Jacques can be maniacal.  Everybody was laughing except for Jacques and then we were laughing harder because Jacques was playing it so straight.  I mean, he never laughed and then everybody kinda stopped laughing.  Well, Jacques didn't forget that joke and he's been calling Ken 10 times a day and Ken doesn't answer but Jacques just leaves a message where he repeats the joke.  Sometimes Jacques gets that devious little half-grin after he leaves the message and sometimes he's really mad and throws the phone into the couch.
So Ken called back and I answered the phone and Ken said he was so relieved to give me the good news so I could pass it on to Jacques.  I told  him Jacques would call him back but Ken said it was better this way and anyway he was busy writing the news script for KALB tonight and Bret McCormick's piece tomorrow and Paul Carty's opinion for Sunday.  Ken said Ro was having second thoughts about running.  He said Ro wasn't handling the pressure of running again and all the 3 AM calls from Jacques and Chris Sr. and Chris Jr. and Kay and Chuck and David and Mike and Lamar.  And that's when it hit me how lucky I am to be married to Jacques.  Poor Roosevelt isn't a genius like Jacques but the worst thing is Roosevelt doesn't have dedicated followers like Jacques.  I mean, these people will do ANYTHING for Jacques.  They owe their entire existence to him.  You don't think they are working their butts off just to stay in Jacques good graces?  Alexandria is lucky that these people are on pins and needles when Jacques is around.   Kay even told me that she does her best work on her knees!
I called Jacques to gave him the good news but he sounded mad and I heard him yell something to Kay about find that ******* Ken **** and then he just hang up.  That's not very unusual.  Jacques can get really busy and he'll just hang up on me.  Anyway, I had to call him back and when I gave him the news and Jacques just started laughing really loud and he just started yelling Kay!  Kay!  Kaaaaayyy!  and then he hung up again.  So I guess Jacques loved the news."

The Mini Mayor Sociopath Checklist


Surprise, surprise.  Mini Mayor fits every item on the checklist.
  1. Glibness/Superficial Charm.  Check.  Mini Mayor is always talking to an imaginary mirror.  He thinks Carty and McCormick adore him because he's  witty, good looking and irresistible.  And then there is Kay Cell.  It also doesn't help that Mini Mayor has surrounded hisself with a bunch of butt kissers.  He's the Man, or so he thinks.
  2. Manipulative and Conning.  Check.  Do as I say and not as I do.  Mini Mayor is all about hisself and if you step out a line, look out!
  3. Grandiose Sense of Self.  Check.  Mini Mayor is the greatest of all time.  Just ask him or anyone suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome.  Why do you think he has those "briefings" where he is the center of attention and he won't attend the council meetings?  Because he craves adulation and attendance of Carty and Co. 
  4. Pathological Lying.  Check.  Really nothing to add here.
  5. Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt.  Check.  Have you talked to anyone in Mini Mayor's camp lately?  Instead of friends, Mini Mayor have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and Mini Mayor let nothing stand in their way.
  6. Shallow Emotions.  Check.  Dude got upset by a guy on the radio and ran him off. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person.
  7. Incapacity for Love.  Check.  From what we here, Mini Mayor's "love" only lasts for 5 minutes at a time. 
  8. Need for Stimulation.  Check.  Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal.  Ask around city hall.
  9. Callousness/Lack of Empathy.  Check.  When you drive around in a $60,000 Mercedes, drink all the fine wine, eat like a king and pick up a few stray booty calls, its hard to connect with the common folk.  
  10. Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature.  Check.  LOL.  KSYL anyone?
  11. Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency.  Check.  Mini Mayor was lucky to be part of the Menard Mafia and have the connections he did.
  12. Irresponsibility/Unreliability.  Check.  When has anything Mini Mayor promised or said come true?  We still don't have our rebates from Cleco.  HIP ain't gonna happen.  Sugarhouse Road was a no go.  What exactly is SPARC besides a new fire station on Lee and Masonic and a building for the Red Cross?  Fast Track to nowhere.
  13. Promiscuous Sexual Behavior Infidelity.  Check.  Ask around town if you haven't heard the latest.
  14. Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle.  Check.  Did you ever hear Mini Mayor say he could take a pay cut to help out the budget?  Just how big do you think Mini Mayor's city expense account is?  Do you really think Mini Mayor "works" 8 hours a day?
  15. Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility.  Check.  Mini Mayor despises Ro Jo, but he's using Ro Jo as his new front man.  Anything to hold onto power.

Jacques-y Horror Picture Show



Anybody who doesn't think that watching the Mini Mayor's administration is like watching a really bad B-movie horror film, please email us and explain why.  We like to call Mini Mayor's 4 year administration the Jacques-y Horror Picture Show.  What, you don't see the similarities?  OK.

1 -  Just like Rocky Horror, it's a cult classic.  At least among the cult of fetal alcohol syndrome types and Spirits crowd.  Jacques-y Horror Picture Show is much better watching with a beer.

2 -  Based on what our friends at city hall tell us, Mini Mayor does his best "work" (wink, wink) around midnight.

3 - A criminologist tells us the Rocky Horror story, we gonna need a criminologist to document Mini Mayor's crimes.

4 - Mini Mayor exists in a "Time Warp" where white liberals have to help "black" peoples cause "black" people can't help themselves and "black" people don't even know how to help ourselves.  We supposed to thank God he gave us Mini Mayor.

5 - Mini Mayor flushed anyone with brains or independent thought from his administration just like how Dr. Frank N Furter killed Eddie the brain donor.

6 - Mini Mayor has been singing "Rose Tint My World" and trying to force his staff and himself to do a phony song and dance for the public about how great things are.

7 - There are people on Mini Mayor's staff who could be transsexual (you do the math).

8 - Mini Mayor thinks he has magical powers and can make anything work, but it always goes horribly wrong.

9 - With rumors that the FBI is in town, there is a "Sword of Damocles" hanging over Mini Mayor.

10 - Dr. Evil has pulled a silent coup by setting up Ro Jo for the mayor's race and Mini Mayor is sold on "I'm Going Home".  No matter how bad Mini Mayor's brief reign has been, the Spirits crowd will always think of his administration as a bunch of "Super Heroes".

Live Blogger: Mayor Briefing, 2010.03.03, Part 2

And now, the conclusion.  We suggest you read this after 3 drinks into happy hour:

Another white sheet!  News flash from Jacques:  folk are suspicious of public folk!  Jacques invoking Al Gore's lockbox!  The money is locked until Franklin is resolved, EMS is resolved, Bridgett is resolved, so you won't see a dime in your lifetime.  Difficult.  Very difficult.  Cash versus value.  Did he say difficult again?  New drinking game, every time Jacques says "difficult".

Now comes Crutch.  He looks worried.  Never had to commit fraud before.  And this is in front of a camera.  This could be his career.  Right here, right now.

Now Jacques talking about car financing.  Calls it David's idea so he can point back to this video when the FBI shows up later this Fall.  Auto financing?  This will get interesting.  Jacques senses David's fear, joins him on the floor, can't let him die up there.  Now David is very confused.  Looks like an RPSO deputy just found meth in his wallet.  Can't stay on story.  Jacques to the rescue, "You want the Cadillac?  It's your choice."

We need to put this in the time capsule under "looney tunes" for later generations.  Crutch says you can't have cake and eat it too.  This deal is not available in court.  Ronco, Ronco, Ronco.  Now Crutch saying he doesn't know if we got back 8 proposals, maybe 6, so Jacques has been lying about the 8 and Crutch just told everybody.  Hello, FBI, were are you?  Crutch needs a bathroom break.  Bad.  He doesn't have to lie this often and its killing him.  He'd rather be in a back room making a deal, now he's got to sell it to the public.  Not David's thing, but its worth it for the state pension he's pulling.  David up and tells Jacques he's throwing around too many numbers.  Nice way of saying, "You are crazy Jacques.  Pipe down you crazy fool.  Do you have an off switch?"

Another sheet!  Jacques writes that he is 100% for cash rebate of ratepayer losses if that's what the people want (what cash is he talking about because there isn't any cash).  "Nothing down and zero percent interest or a big ole rebate!"  Good golly.  Huey Long didn't take this much effort to sell "Everyman a King".  Jacques and David are living proof why shysters always make money.  There are dumbies born everyday and elected to public office.

Finally some questions.  Bret McCormick has been subject to an Amway marketing pitch for 50 minutes and he's still awake.  Jacques makes the cruelest statement possible by telling Bret that Bret has come a long way.  Unbelievably demeaning to Bret.  Does Jacques realize what jerk he is?  That was just an incredible jerky thing to say to a professional or a human being.  Jacques doesn't answer Bret's question.

Jacques mimes drums on the podium.  I wish he were a mime.  He wouldn't be talking.  That would be awesome.  Jacques thinking he just hit a homerun.  Jacques is Legend.  Jacques thinking Bret is awed by his extreme talents.  Bret can only dream of being this awesome.  Now Crutch babbling again.  Country boy making no sense.  Bret asked a 20 second question, Jacques and Crutch have been answering for 5 minutes.  Jacques could talk Castro to death.  Call the CIA.  New mission for Jacques to Cuba.  If that doesn't work out, plan B is circus mime.  If we don't get rid of Jacques, Alexandria will look like Havana soon.  We'll all be eating beans and running around in muscle shirts (I know, too late).

Bret struggles to get a 10 second question through the Jacques-a-phone.  Impossible.  Now Crutch saying the results of the study of upgrade cost will be $43 million.  Talking taxes, the $43 million is really $58 million.  It will be $108 million by the next Jacques M. Roy show.

Back to Jacques.  He has to have the last word.  The last 1000 words.

Now the levees.  Talking talking talking.  Tom Ed McHugh knows how good Jacques is.  Just ask Tom.  Tom will tell you how brilliant Jacques is.  Does Tom have to spend more than 4 hours with Jacques per year?  Now Bret pisses Jacques off by bringing up Jacques Barack.  Blogs bad!  Too much truth!  Must find this evil Jacques Barack!  Jacques is sad that the TT is getting the truth from blogs.  Admits that Levee District has known about these problems for a long time (Hello, FBI).

Jacques getting all philosophical with, "The Corps will do what the Corps will do."    Jacques calls out Coco.  Coco is evil.  If Jacques could drive over to a blog station and shut Coco down, he'd be heading there at 100 mph right now.  Jacques says the city is basically a blue collar pole dancer working for big time madam.  Jacques admits the Levee District entered into a PAL agreement with Jacques.  Jacques keeps coming back to this point because every time he denies the city was responsible he hears how stupid and unbelievable it sounds.  (The city signed a PAL agreement for goodness sake!)  Trying again.  Still can't shake the stink.  Oh, forget it, just attack the blogs.  Blogs bad!  Too much truth!  Jacques telling Bret, I know you're referring to Jacques Barack and you should be ashamed at uttering the truth in my presence.

Now the hotels.  Jacques hopes the hearing disposes of the issues.  They won't.  Cap one should be ashamed of themselves.  Cloudy title.  Cap one wants us to settle the claim and Jacques Roy will not pay for something we own.  But Jacques Roy will pay $500,000 for toiler paper rolls, tiny bars of soap, chairs.  Jacques will now explain how bankruptcy works.  Class is in now in session.  Bankruptcy skews values.  Now Jacques admits the hotels are worth zero, but he will hand over millions of taxpayer money to somebody else.  Schools out.

Live Blogger: Mayor Briefing, 2010.03.03, Part 1

We present, in two parts, for your weekend reading enjoyment, Live Blogger's take on the Mayor's briefing. Please note that this was somewhat funnier, but we invoked the standing Harry Silver rule:

Early technical difficulties.  Now Jacques is here to rock the mic.  He's channeling Chuck Woolery today.  Chuck Woolery without the good looks and the charm.  Now Jacques being Jacques.  I know the value of the rebates, but I can't tell you what it is until I confirm the value which means I have no idea what the value is.  I want Judge Dread to figure it out.  Declaratory judgement.  Jacques is in love with the idea of being in law school.  He makes every issue into like a classroom legal discussion.  Now talking of the voters deciding instead of the judge.  Pros and cons pros and cons pros and cons.  Trying to create a hypnotic trace over the audience.  This is like your moms explaining why you don't get no ice cream after your sorry baseball team lost the game.  Just give me the ice cream!

Jacques says we can establish the numbers.  Jacques will keep repeating that, but he will never tell you what the number is because he doesn't really know.  Calls out Stephen Largen!  Jacques tells us he is better than whatever crappy mayor Ruston has.  Jacques will now read the Ruston newspaper to us!  This is good government in action!  Now he compares a metering error in Ruston to some goofy, unknown percentage he pulled out of the closet.  3.75 million vs. 50.7 million.  Ruston really sucks.
I'm not knocking Ruston, but I really am knocking Ruston.  A website is an electronic medium, BTW.
Jacques, our leader, always coaching us.  Always teaching.  Our rebate floor is 4.4 percent and we could go up to 15 percent!  For the 15th time, Jacques says it is incorrect to assert that we don't know what can be rebated, but he still has no idea and won't tell us.  Jacques has spoken for 12 minutes and said nothing.  He still hasn't told us what the rebate is.  In the meantime, Jack Bauer has killed 3 terrorists. and Drew Brees has scored 2 touchdowns.  Back to rambling Jacques.  Calls out Paul Carty and TT.  Off camera Royite jumps in with some phony good news for new TT owner.  Totally contrived.  Totally BS.

Why is Jacques still talking about Cleco?  Isn't it done?  He will be at a cocktail party 30 years from now trying to convince some unwitting dupe how awesome this deal was.  Meanwhile, DG Hunter will be rusting.  Again with the 10 years for litigation.  Jacques hearing himself make a little sense.  Weaving in and out of consciousness:
We control DG Hunter!  We control our destiny!  The TT is wrong again!  I lied about running the meetings on Channel 4 before the vote, but now I'm going to bitch about people getting involved.
Jacques announces another CURE meeting next Tuesday!  CURE people are Jacques favorite kind of people because he can control them.  He controls their words and thoughts.  They must submit to Jacques.  Jacques saying that he doesn't trust anybody who's been appearing at any council meetings.
I want fresh meat!  I want real people, not the crazies that show up all the time and make my life a living hell!  I want people I can dominate with my genious!  The meeting regulars are troublemakers! I'm going to take this roadshow to the real people.
Now Jacques making the case for why all lawyers should be killed.  They're too expensive.  And now the bloggers.
Blogs!  I hate Blogs.  Jacques Barack is keeping me awake a night!  We will harass Ruston the way Jacques Barack has harassed me.
Jacques looking for help. Looking worse than Simon Cowell stuck at an all-Black Gospel Hour. David, I'm dying here. Help a brotha out. Now we get visual aids!  Jacques breakin' it down in black and white for the simple man. Jacques in his Ronco mode here. The city would have to spend $43 million or more actually in utility transmission upgrade costs. We've avoided $43 million AND got a $8.9 million credit. Isn't that right, David? Ronco, Ronco, Ronco. The $41 million doesn't even include the avoided $43 million and the $8.9 million credit! But wait, there's even more!
We were conservative.  We beat each other up over numerous taxpayer financed meals.
Crutchfield can't leave well enough alone, mentions another $4 million of avoided cost of litigation. OMG. Jacques got another sheet and he's going to show us the deal's value again.  Differently.  For a third time. This man needs an intervention. Does he realize how stupid he looks? What is he talking about 4.4 percent to 15 percent sampling? Making no sense.

Another white sheet! I've just wasted 30 minutes of my life that I will never get back watching a lunatic. Talking, talking, talking. Making no sense. Crazy ramblings. Shuffling through various pages. Scatterbrain.  All that is missing from this used car sales pitch is a loud plaid jacket like Herb's from WKRP.  Jacques now tries a charm offensive by revealing a secret man crush on Paul Carty. Jacques now begging Carty to shove his nose back in its rightful place and Jacques is SO looking forward to that moment.  Does Paul Carty feel like a bitch because Jacques sure is making him sound like one.

The rebate process will be tougher than the litigation!  Is he seroius?  He will have a nervous breakdown if this goes any longer.  (We are going to love watching this pot boil.  The party's just getting started. ) Is this what Jim Jones looked like towards the end?  Is Jacques going to start passing out grape Kool-Aid?  Crutchfield is definitely sipping grape Kool-Aid off camera.  Astonishing.  Jacques getting back to numbers again.  Scatterbrain.  His numbers have grown in the last 10 minutes.  At this rate, he'll be at a billion next hour.  His nose should be growing, too.

(Please see Part 2 later today)

Alexandria Diverts Attention on Utility Bills

When things get hot, somebody's gotta fry.  Jacques couldn't work out a good deal with Cleco, so now he's going to divert attention from his own failure by attacking the Shepherd Center.  We are not surprised.  The councilmen, except for Mr. Larvadain, have joined Jacques in the attack.  Wasn't Mr. Larvadain the only councilman with enough integrity to vote no on the Cleco cave in?  If the Shepherd Center used 8 percent of the funds to offset their administrative costs it is still probably less than what Jacques and Crutchfield have been ripping us off.

Ole Miss Votes on New Mascot


Colonel Reb reminds us of David Crutchfield after a rough night. Ole Miss sucks anyway so who cares if they have a half-racist whatever. Ole Miss sucks so bad, we nominate Jacques Roy for mascot. Boo-yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
