The Ray Nagin Memorial Motor Pool. Hundreds of buses, abandoned and unused during the evacuation, now leaking tons of diesel fuel and motor oil into the already toxic water.

Oakwood Mall is on fire. Firemen attempting to put it out were fired on from the Westbank Expressway.
Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard ordered the firemen out and will let the Mall burn as a “signal to President Bush.”
Last night, Broussard held a press conference in which he said that apparently the only way to get aid from the US Government was to be a foreign country. So he was seceeding Jefferson Parish from the Union and requesting foreign aid from the neighboring United States.
He's thinking maybe they need to go "somewhere like Las Vegas that has lots of hotel rooms." FEMA isn't sure they can pay for that, so he told them, "Screw it, I'll pay for it and find the money somewhere."
Sheesh.
Sounds like Broussard was a very loose canon before today's MTP interview.

Anti moonbat Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
Apparently Broussard is under federal indictment for bribery or somesuch. I guess he's going for the "sovereign immunity" defense.
In all seriousness, if he did this Bush could IMMEDIATELY declare martial law due to insurrection. :-)
