Shep Smith: "They don't know why the water is rising, and it won't stop."

What a freakin' moron. The water is rising in New Orleans because water flows to the lowest point possible, and the city is below the level of the adjacent Lake Ponchartrain. The water from the lake is going to keep flowing into the city until the water level in the city is the same as the water level in the lake.

I don't think you need to be an engineer to understand some very basic elements of fluid mechanics. If Shep would just go home and try to fill the north half of his bathtub, he'd understand what the hell is going on in New Orleans right now.
