legislature_jvlastnews_thumbMaybe now we know why the Louisiana State Employees Retirement System’s investment return barely beat that of a risk-free 30-year U.S. Treasury bond over the past five years – because its top officers aren’t very good critical thinkers, as evidenced by the sloppy, if not illogical, arguments they try to make against reforms proposed for the state’s retirement system for most of its non-education employees. Or maybe this display of intellectual piffle shows they're just desperate to stop an erosion of their power and privilege.

drew_breesHow long will it take?

John Clayton of ESPN said on SportsCenter that Drew Brees' contract talks with the Saints are going at a slow pace.

"I ran into his agent, Tom Condon of CAA last week, and he's kind of  baffled at this time as far this is going because it's going so slow," said Clayton. "Everybody knows the Saints aren't going to lose Brees. They can franchise him, they can sign him to a long-term deal. But they're really somewhat nowhere right now as far as getting a contract."

madonnaFortunately, the Super Bowl lived up to its billing as a close, hard fought game between two great teams. Fans certainly enjoyed the action on the field and Indianapolis did a fine job of hosting the game.
