Been visiting Louisiana, have had a great time, but thought I should share this:

At the hotel my family stayed at in Baton Rouge, DU is blocked for having "inappropriate links"...below that message, the letters "xxx" appeared...which either means they think DU is a porn site or that it teaches you how to make moonshine.

1. That's why

I always use my iPhone as a mobile WI-FI hotspot!
Also, if you are using your own computer you could use a TOR browser. Google it, I'm not explaining it here.

2. Sounds like DU was deliberately blacklisted.

The owners of the establishment are probably not too fond of 'them damned libruls'.

Frankly, I'm surprised DU wasn't blocked statewide during Jindal's tenure. It no doubt crossed their mind - and a lot of other GOP governors.

That said, glad you had a nice time. I have very fond memories of Nawlins, and of the French Quarter in particular. C'est si bon!

3. I used to frequent Birmingham's newpaper online

message board in 2009? where people would debate, which was pretty one sided. Every time anybody like me said something good about Obama they would be deleted.

4. Louisiana is one of the more Liberal States in the South!
