Yeah, I know. And it would also start making people ask why the state and local pols have been fiddling all these years while waiting for Rome to burn.

After NO gets its immediate needs taken care of, someone had better look at what happened with the levees and the pumps. And take steps to ensure that it's not allowed to happen again.

I am afraid that one is going to hit GW in the butt. The Army Corp of Engineers is responsible for the levees and spillways and some of that money was shorted to fund the war in Iraq. It seems that the very levee that was first breeched, the 17th street levee, was top priority at the time. You know the left will be all over that.
