What do you expect from the Big Easy?

They market themselves as the City of Irresponsibility nearly as much as Las Vegas does.

I didn't wanna bailout NO when things got wet, AND I don't wanna bailout LV when things get dry.

They are already letting the state of LA handle the federal money and reconstruction. I'm furious. If I pay fed tax dollars, I want the feds to have control and monitor that. The last time we let NO and LA handle the fed monies for the levees..look what happened.

It's pretty much always dry in LV...and that is precisely the problem there. It's so dry, they never bothered with proper drainage, so when it rains, you get scenes like

because the water has nowhere to go.
