It went like this: Don't evah marry an ugly woman. You'll have to take her everywhere with you, or be forced to kiss her goodbye, everytime you leave the house...Joey HAD A PET WOODPECKER who was nicked named GROSBEC, who won a pecking contest against a California Woodpecker in the REDWOOD FOREST. Come to find out po Grosbec he was disqualified, for he had a fiberglass pecker. Joey as usual was a politician til the end. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 06 Dec 2011 00:36:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/9439-jodu-or-jodont#comment-25179 Oh my, look at that photo of Durel. He looks really happy. Make a copy of it before he has it pulled from the web. The only local politician who insulted me as much as Durel was Stagg. I did not push the button for either one, passing on that race. I wish Durel was merely "sassy." All of us who voted for him ages ago don't count anymore, except as easy marks to be fooled and cheated. - snaildarter Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:56:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/9439-jodu-or-jodont#comment-25163 What is amazing is the fact that Mr Hardy didn't win the first race on his own merit. He got into office because of the voters dislike of Chris Williams because of his behavior on the Martin Luther King issue. And based on a recent article in this same IND paper the voters were painted a picture of Chris Williams weilding influence on the Northside that could have swayed voters in favor of Mr Hardy. Rickey Hardy lost this election because of his disconnect with the voters in his district and association with Durel. Lets see how Durel handles the problems with LUS fiber,the cable is not buried deep enough and not enough members, the on going saga of the LITE center, the $800,000 water bill the town of Broussard owes, the garbage transfer saga and the possible law suit, etc... - Northside Resident Fri, 02 Dec 2011 08:02:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/9439-jodu-or-jodont#comment-25137 Mike Stagg is crazy, Joey would have lost if he had some real opposition. People are tired af all of Joey's sassy remarks. Joel even went against him. Its going to be a long 4 years. I just hope Vitter doesn't become Governor and give Joey and his whole family each a big job. - ben Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:23:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/9439-jodu-or-jodont#comment-25120 Hardy lost the white vote when he went after Gachasain.This didnt sit well with certain people.Joey knew he didnt stand a chance so his little endorsement didnt mean anything.Also Chris Williams wields very little influence in the district he is about as well liked as Hardy.Both of there times in public office is over.People are feed up and leaders from now on will have to deliver because they will be held accountable.I bet Roshell jones wish should could rescind that endorsement,lets see Hardy deliver on what ever he promised you. - neutral party Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:35:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/9439-jodu-or-jodont#comment-25115 "The story is accurate as to the facts" There's more to effective writing than typing up facts. As for the conclusions reached, I think we could argue from now on and not settle that. The "conclusions reached" are interpretations of "polling data". Political pollsters are about as accurate as witch doctors reading chicken entrails. - ragin_cajun Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:22:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/9439-jodu-or-jodont#comment-25109 The Independent has turned the page. The story is accurate as to the facts and the conclusions reached. - TY COBB Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:36:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/9439-jodu-or-jodont#comment-25104 No unity. No coherence. The article's title says the article is about Durel, but the last 5 out of 13 paragraphs don't even mention Durel. From the title, I thought this article would explore Durel's influence on local elections. But, most of the article was really about Northside political figures and Chris Williams. For people who write for a living to write this, presumably edit it, and re-write it for publication, I can only assume that they INTENDED to confuse the reader when they wrote it. - ragin_cajun Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:25:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/9439-jodu-or-jodont#comment-25101 "Joey Durel somehow managed to score some pretty big election day losses." The moon is waning and so is Durel's influence. QUACK, QUACK, QUACK! (The sound of a LAME DUCK). - Compassionate One Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:17:41 +0100
