COLUMN
In my new column, "Charity Hospital Receives Shocking Treatment" I explore the debate over the future of Charity Hospital in N.O. Some preservationists want to restore it, while others at LSU Medical Center want a brand new $1.2 billion hospital. What are the most efficient and cost effective courses of action for the state? Regardless, what is happening to Charity today is sad.

WGSO just added Bill O’Reilly from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Lou Dobbs from 2-5 p.m. to our weekday line-up. Our mission is to provide the Northshore and New Orleans with great talk, as well as up to date news, traffic and weather reports.
On Monday December 1, I interviewed Grendel Levy, who spent three hours visiting with Edwin Edwards at the federal prison in Oakdale, Louisiana. The interview contained some shocking revelations about his chances for pardon and the treatment he is receiving.
