Deep in the heart of Louisiana, amongst the bayous and gators, something wicked is stirring, and we don't mean the creatures of True Blood. No, not a vampire or werewolf or shape shifting bartender; just regular good ol' boy Lafourche Parish Council Chairman Lindel Toups, working overtime to keep those uneducated, inbred, hayseed Cajun hillbilly stereotypes alive and well, and in the process providing some political sound bites that even his crack-smoking, got-enough-pussy-at-home Canuck counterpartshould be taking notes in "what not to say to the media" from.

Toups, who also has the distinct honor of serving as head of the New Jail Committee, would like to take money from the town's public library system to fund the new facility, mostly because of his particularly preposterous, though apparently in-line with what's popular amongst certain redneck law types way down yonder, view of just what the library is doing.

"They're teaching Mexicans how to speak English," Toups told the local Tri-Parish Times newspaper in a story published on Wednesday and referencing Biblioteca Hispana, a Spanish-language section in one of the libraries nine branches. "Let that son of a bitch go back to Mexico. There's just so many things they're doing that I don't agree with. ...Them junkies and hippies and food stamps (recipients) and all, they use the library to look at drugs and food stamps (on the Internet). I see them do it."

Toups wants to divert property taxes from the library, which is already over budget, rather than raise taxes a quarter of a cent to cover the needed funds. His rabid support for the incarceration facility is surprising, when one looks to the fact that his son, Lindel Toups Jr., and grandson have both recently spent time behind bars, despite the elder Toups crying bullshit over the case and demanding a lie detector test for the arresting officers.

The funding shift goes to the voters this Saturday.

Good Councilor Toups was also the motivating force behind the Louisiana county's infamous no-baggy-pants law, which garnered national attention when it was passed.

You can almost hear the Deliverance theme playing softly in the background.
