One of our weekly polls went the way the national polls are going only stronger; the other poll shows no love for a Benson's third wife. Here are the results.

It's no secret that Tom Benson's third wife (Gayle) and his kids(Daughter and two grand kids) do not get along. His announcement earlier this week that he was leaving his teams to his third wife did not set too well with his kids. So what do you think about this mess?

The allegations are all very similar. They all accuse Bill Cosby of drugging them and then sexually assaulting them. Is is all coincidence? He is scheduled to appear in Lafayette on February 27th. We are interested in how you feel about this.

I recently saw a King Cake poll where the question was "sugar covered or glazed?" My answer was "why not both?" A bad King Cake is still delicious. There are some though that are better than others. Help us out by telling us who you think makes the best.
