Now what are Blanco and Nagin going to do with the other $247B they requested?

A great deal will be lost to graft and corruption, which will make Saddamn's Oil-for-Food scandal look like a stick-up at the 7-11.

I heard this week that FEMA will partially fund rebuilding the Superdome (inital tab = $150 million, which means the final tab will be closer to $500 million). This rebuild will include extensive upgrade of the private luxury boxes, private entrances, new sound system, etc. Ain't Amerika grand?

This is all so disgusting!

How about LOANS to NO? We loan them the $; the feds oversee all rebuilding and contracts and audit the monies and the NO pays the feds back over time.
