[Woe.be.gone]

I'm from south Louisiana and love so much about my state...our food, culture, friendly, good-hearted people. But our politics, well not so much.

Elbow bump from someone nearby Chicago! :banghead:

Closed doors for jury selection in ex-New Orleans mayor's trial on bribery charges

(CNN) -- Closed courtrooms. No laptops, phones or Wi-Fi. Bathrooms closed off by marshals.

The corruption trial of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin cranks up Monday with a federal judge imposing tough rules on spectators and reporters during jury selection. In an order issued last week, U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan imposed those restrictions because of concerns that courtroom rules "may not be respected" by some unnamed miscreants.
