Tinker:
I often kept wondering just why the french guillotine kept falling, and falling, and falling, after Marie Antoinette, King Louis XVI, and the french court has long since been killed. The revolutionary french citizens look like crazed kill
happy people to me because they simply kept guillotining just about
everyone that they thought was apart of the upper class running France. The revolutionary movement that shook France between 1787 and 1799 and reached its first climax there in 1789.
But
now after all these years of thinking that the french revolutionary was
just a very off the rail mob of french citizen gone crazy with killing
for power. I begin to understand the spirit that enacted the hatred
towards the ruling class running France back then.
Because after seeing the national White House press dinner this past Saturday night on c-spans I know now why
Tom Brokaw X - NBC Nightly News TV anchor said as he stopped going because
quote, "that the White house press dinner was beginning to look like how the French people saw the palace of versailles cocktail party crowd back in Marie Antoinette time."
The national White House press dinner this past Saturday night was much like that Marie Antoinette at Versailles, "let them eat cake" crowd. All show and no substance.

What does the everyday citizen call a crowd of people like them the elite, or just simply the end crowd?
Seperate and apart from the everyday citizens in
America. Living behind gated upper class neighborhood, protected with
the fixed government deck of cards maintain in Washington DC by the national
press and politicians. The White House press dinner had over 2600 of the
rich and famous.
F. Scott Fitzgerald said that the rich are different than us.

Yeah! You just might say that?

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
I hope you'll understand when I keep the rest of this writing
short and just briefly touch on the news of Jeremy Hill's arrest and
yesterday's NFL draft picks, while including a press release about LSU's
baseball game last night and this link about the softball's team sweep of Alabama.
First, congratulations to all the Tigers who were drafted, including the three that were picked yesterday - Lavar Edwards (5th round, 142nd pick, Tennessee Titans), Tharold Simon (5th, 138th, Seattle Seahawks), Spencer Ware (6th round, 194th, Seattle Seahawks). Chris Faulk, Michael Ford, P.J. Lonergan, Brad Wing and Russell Shepard did not get drafted, but did secure free agent deals. Faulk agreed to terms with the Cleveland Browns, while Ford and Lonergan struck deals with the Chicago Bears. Wing and Shepard will join Bennie Logan with the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm really proud of all these former Tigers and hope they enjoy a long and prosperous career in the NFL. I know I speak for many of you when I wish them the very best as they embark on this tremendous opportunity.
As for Jeremy Hill, I'm deeply saddened by yesterday's news of him being arrested for simple battery. Hill was arrested at about 2 a.m. Saturday in connection with a fight at Reggie's Bar in Tigerland. Allegedly, Hill and another suspect engaged in a fight with a 20-year old man who ended up unconscious. You can read more about what transpired here. I have trouble wrapping my head around why someone like Hill, with such a bright future ahead, would do something like this. As most of you know, this isn't the first very serious mistake Hill made. While in high school at Redemptorist, Hill and a classmate pleaded guilty to a charge of carnal knowledge of a juvenile. At this point, it's unclear how this weekend's incident will affect Hill's probation. I'll wait to comment further on this until more details become available.

LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill was arrested for simple battery Saturday after his apparent involvement in a fight outside Reggie’s Bar in Baton Rouge.
Hill allegedly struck the victim several times in the head, causing the victim to lose consciousness. Someone on the scene shot a video of the incident, which the police used to identify Hill.
Hill was released Saturday morning on $500 bail. LSU coach Les Miles was in New York for the NFL Draft, and made himself unavailable for comment until he can return and talk with Hill.
East Baton Rouge Parrish District Attorney Hillar Moore said police are seeking a second suspect in the case.
It was the latest in several legal issues concerning current and former LSU football players, and the second this weekend. Former LSU defensive back Tharold Simon, who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth round today, was arrested Thursday night in his Eunice hometown.
This is Hill’s second brush with the law, as he pled guilty to carnal knowledge of a juvenile in 2011. He is currently midway through a two-year probationary period, but it’s not certain whether he was in violation of his probation thanks to Saturday’s arrest.
The incident was first reported by NBC 33’s Matt Boudreaux.

LSU's Les Miles lauds Tyrann Mathieu's NFL potential on NFL Network
|
- What the national media are saying about Tyrann Mathieu being drafted
- Tyrann Mathieu comes home to celebrate 2013 NFL draft selection
- LSU's Tyrann 'Honey Badger' Mathieu drafted by Arizona Cardinals in third round
- Tyrann Mathieu will watch the 2013 NFL draft in the Big Easy
- The Saints' next NFL draft moves, which LSU players will get picked on Day 2, and more on 'Black and Gold Today'
Miles
was asked along with Kelly how players who have had their personal
lives scrutinized so thoroughly by NFL scouts can stay mentally prepared
to succeed in the NFL.
Kelly and Miles both
have extensive experience coaching players with off-field issues. Kelly
coached Heisman Trophy candidate Manti Te'o, whose fake girlfriend
debacle played out on a highly public, national stage, and Miles coached
cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, who was kicked off the LSU football team for
repeatedly failing drug tests.
"He'll be
judged by his teammates by what he can do on the field," Miles said,
seemingly referring to Te'o. "If he can really contribute and make that
team better, then they will accept him, and I think it will be an easy
transition for him."
Miles went on to say that
he has not spoken with Mathieu "in the recent past." But Miles took the
opportunity talk up the former Tiger.
"He's
such a pleaser," Miles said. "He'll please his coach. He'll please his
family. He's going to have to focus on those things that are important
to him, and that's football. Take those peripherals and social events
that could be an issue and minimize them and disregard them. If he does
that, he'll play a very long time because he's a very special talent."
Mathieu
isn't projected to be drafted in the first round on Thursday night, but
most expect his name to be called sometime Saturday or Sunday. It was
recently reported that Mathieu passed a drug test administered to him at
the NFL Combine.
Miles wasn't asked to comment
on any other LSU draft hopefuls, but Sumlin was asked what it was like
to gameplan for LSU's highest projected draftee, defensive end
Barkevious Mingo.
"The competitive nature of
that game with Sam Montgomery, Mingo, all those guys, it was a great
atmosphere and they had fun playing the game," Sumlin said. "When you're
involved in a situation like that, and then you reach a night like
tonight and the next couple of days, you want the best for these kids.
There's a reason why they're going to get their names called."
LSU
defeated Texas A&M, 24-19, on October 20 last season. Mingo had
three solo tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss and a fumble recovery
in the game.
---------------"But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found."
— Luke 15:32, World English Bible

Report: Wisconsin wants to play LSU at Lambeau Field (Posted on 4/27/13 at 9:21 a.m.)
LINK
Madison - Talks between Wisconsin and Southeastern Conference power Alabama dragged on for several years before the two programs eventually agreed to open the 2015 college football season at Cowboys Stadium.
Encouraged by that agreement and looking to bolster UW's nonconference schedules because of the four-team playoff set to begin with the 2014 season, athletic director Barry Alvarez is in the market for another neutral-site game.
That quest could lead to a game at Lambeau Field. According to a college football source, UW officials would like to play LSU, another SEC power.
Alvarez was out of town Friday. Justin Doherty, UW associate athletic director for external relations, declined to say whether UW is pursuing such a game.
"I don't have anything I can tell you," he said after the regularly scheduled athletic board meeting.

Sought Big Ten title game
Mark Murphy, president and chief executive officer of the Packers, tried to convince Big Ten officials to hold their inaugural football championship game in 2011 at Lambeau Field.
The Big Ten eventually chose Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. According to a Packers official, Murphy remains interested in hosting a college football game at Lambeau Field and UW would be an ideal choice.
"It has come up from time to time and it is something that we are pursuing," said Aaron Popkey, the team's director of public affairs. "But it hasn't gotten to the point where there is anything on the books or where we're ready to announce.
"We continue to look into it and will certainly explore those opportunities."
The UW men's hockey team faced Ohio State in 2006 at Lambeau Field, and a crowd of 40,890 saw the Badgers prevail, 4-2.
Officials from UW and the Packers labeled that event an overwhelming success and were thrilled with the turnout.
"That was a really good experience for Lambeau and the Packers," Popkey said. "I think a football game would be a good experience as well."
According to Popkey, the fact that the NFL doesn't announce the league's upcoming regular-season schedule until April would not be a hindrance.
"It is doable," he said. "If there was an opportunity to pursue it, we would just make a request to the NFL that we need to be on the road that week.
"The league complies with those. It is what they've done in the past so that wouldn't be any sort of a challenge."
