Quin Hillyer: Sen. Kennedy is wrong about dealing with ‘spending porn’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amidst famously hokey aphorisms, Republican U.S. Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana sometimes sprinkles in sage advice. On one topic in his Sept. 27 interview on CBSâ Face the Nation, however, Kennedy went the wrong way down a constitutional blind alley. In a governmental system in which the presidentâs power already largely exceeds what the nationâs founders wisely intended, Kennedy would have Congress cede even more of its authority to the imperial presidency. News anchor Margaret Brennan as
Quin Hillyer: Fulsome music and Folsom, Louisiana: What a weekend! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years now, a mantra on the intellectual Right is that âpolitics is downstream from culture,â meaning that the culture creates the political milieu. If that were the case in Louisiana, though, our politics surely would be better, because our culture is wonderfully vibrant. It was to check out local examples of such culture, in hopes of drawing broader lessons, that I wrote late last year of my plans to tour less-covered areas of the state and showcase their own unique attributes.

Quin Hillyer: Congress should learn from Moreno’s fiscal responsibility (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Quin Hillyer: La. legislators cross the aisle at elite national conference (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two Louisiana legislators last month were among a select number nationwide showing that politics doesnât necessarily need to be partisan. A venerable national group called the Council of State Governments awards fellowships each year for a five-day âcollaborative leadershipâ conference to, in its words, âequip some of the nationâs most promising leaders with the relationships, perspectives and skills needed to bring people together, solve problems and strengthen public service.â Sele
Quin Hillyer: New marijuana dispensary in the French Quarter is sign of a sick society (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The festive opening of a cannabis dispensary in the French Quarter this week is a dreadful sign of societal decay, of refusal to acknowledge scientific fact â and of bad state lawmaking. Peer-reviewed study after peer-reviewed study for a quarter century now has shown that marijuana is a far more dangerous drug than decades of street lore said it was. Yes, there is copious evidence indicating that substances in marijuana can help fight extreme nausea and pain associated, for example, with canc
