Yesterday, 30 April 2012 marked the 200th&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; anniversary of Louisiana&amp;rsquo;s membership in the Union of these United States of America. The front page of today&amp;rsquo;s Times Picayune blares out the misinformed headline &amp;ldquo;200 years after joining the nation, Louisiana&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; blah blah blah.
