Before Bobby Jindal was elected to any public office (including being our U.S. Congress rep when I lived in Looziana), 'King Dong', a friend on another board, long vanished, had unearthed this tale from Booby Jindal's youth and told people posting on 'LOTF' a defunct board. K.D. may have been a Democratic Party opposition researcher. He's still one of my most admired people and posts frequently on my home board: http://vincentandmorticiasspeakeasy14846.yuku.com/directory. King Dong is always right and in the know. :7


Anyhow, as I explained to Kingie, most Americans have no comprehension of Bobby's Hindu roots. There is a 'creole' coastal strain of catholicism in Louisiana which would mesh well with a hindu background. Spirit possession is accepted in Hinduism as well as Voudoun Catholicism practiced in Haiti, Brazil and south Louisiana. I've got things to do or else I'd get pedantic and tell more, having been accepted as a mambo by Voudou practitioners.

Anyway, I met Bobby when he was running for congress. He was an earnest nice young man. That he even has a genuine spiritual side is interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if he's grown up a GREAT DEAL since exorcisms and all that jazz. :7


I'm a left leaning person so don't think I'm 'defending' Bobby. I have no idea what he's really like NOW. But I do know most Americans don't have a clue about the strange 'gumbo' of cultures which came together in Louisiana. True blood is wacky but the first season or two was close. :7
