Before Katrina pounded New Orleans last summer, that city's longstanding reputation for graft was reinforced by Operation Wrinkled Robe, which uncovered a bribery scheme initiated by a bail-bonds company at a local courthouse. In addition to various officials in the Jefferson Parish sheriff's office, two state judges were convicted for their roles in helping steer business (i.e., prisoners) to the firm.

Ken Oak Band - “Madness & Back”: Though this ain’t my favorite track on his newest album, this one still is a pretty defining piece…an angel, wings of guitars, robe of cello, voice of Ken. 3.
