Where’s Gov. Bobby Jindal?
 JANUARY 9, 2013
Doesn’t he know he’s governor of something?

The sinkhole is the TOP story of 2012 at the TOP newspaper in the state capital.

Does he not read the newspaper? Doesn’t he know about the sinkhole? Didn’t Mr. Welsh over at the Conservation Dept. or anyone at DNR TELL Jindal there’s a problem at Bayou Corne?

Big Bubbling Sites Caught on Dec. 27 Fly Over

The last fly over video made by the parish inadvertently shows huge bubbling going on at Lake FUBAR.
Stop-n-go examination of the short clip shows some big bubbling going on (first 2 screen shots). Due to poor quality we can’t tell if the last picture is bubbling or other thing in the water. Sorry the video can’t be embedded.
