Your attempt at humor failed.

The Louisiana State Legislature has failed to produce a budget for the last 18 months.

But if you didn’t get that, then to your silly question:
a cast iron fry pan, of any of the dimensions for sale, through Lodge Manufacturing, the only remaining cast iron cookware manufacturer within the Continental 48 states.

I own a 10-inch chef pan, a 10 1/4-inch fry pan and griddle pan.

You can’t get a better state book. And doing so is within Louisiana’s rights under the Constitution. I’m just curious about which canon he chose to select, and why.

I guess you can say it’s an argument between the Catholic and Protestant version of the Bible.

Okay my fault too. Sometime a sarcasm tag isn’t necessary because the post is so blatantly outrages. Prob’ly should use it more to avoid confusion.
