If they rebuild the city (OK, not "they" -- the taxpayers), will it be known as New New Orleans?
Inasmuch as the city has a French name, was it not inevitable that they'd lose in the end?
lol
I don't think it's funny, simply because I view the whole thing as tragic and sad, and there are innocent people caught up in all this..

Well since it's a humor thread.
Lack of Bush Eloquence Imperils Hurricane Victims
by Scott Ott
(2005-09-01) -- Fears increased today among hundreds of thousands of refugees from the hurricane-ravaged gulf coast as they faced a Labor Day weekend with little hope of an eloquent speech from President George Bush.
As today's New York Times editorial indicated, the president "gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday, especially given the level of national distress and the need for words of consolation and wisdom".
Instead, the president devoted his first major post-Katrina address to laying out what the federal government is actually doing to help with disaster recovery.
One New Orleans man, currently living in the 'Plaza End Zone' section of the Superdome as he awaits news of his missing family members, said, "I can survive for some time with little water, no food and highly unsanitary conditions...but if I don't hear some poetic words of comfort and stirring verbal imagery from the president pretty soon, I'm a goner."
A White House spokesman said additional speech writers have been flown in to accelerate completion of "a magnificent, almost-Clintonesque display of rhetorical compassion." However, it could take up to a week of pronunciation rehearsal before the president is ready to deliver the speech to the nation.

Ain't many Skinnies in N'Awlins though, best fed poor folks I've ever seen.
BTW, The New Orleans political machine has obviously taken a page from President Fox's playbook...and improved upon it by using a trumped-up hurricane excuse to solve its own poverty problem-Mexico Style and exported its poverty problem to other states!

Sadly, your comedy is too true.

Interesting you should mention that. The parodies I two have two purposes: one is to provide brief respite from those who are deeply entrenched in the serious nature of the subject at hand; the other is to tick off those who don't think the subject is being handled seriously enough.
As you clearly fall into the latter category, I sincerely hope that this parody ticks you off enough to compel you to do something about this admittedly tragic situation.
Best wishes. God bless. And godspeed.
