Who is the president trying to kill this time?
Pass it on.
Bush's fault
The levee has not been rebuilt. That takes time. This councilman, is an idiot.
Good thing Naggin got that house in Dallas.
"Everybody's home's been crushed, and let's hope their dreams aren't," he said.

As if this round of flooding had not occurred, the houses could have been given a fresh coat of paint and people could have just moved in. Ridiculous.
"He accused the Army Corps of Engineers of not rebuilding the levee properly."
And who's the Army's Commander and Chief???
Wonder who Calypso Louie and the 'Motha Ship' crew will blame this time.
Its all the Army Corps. of Engineers fault , they didnt rebuild the Levee properly. these people are sure good at the blame game.
They patched the levee , a patch is naver a permanent fix..Mayor Dumbo was gonna let them come back in. Maybe now the idiot will see that the Levee has to be fixed right before people come back. If I lived there I wouldnt come back, I would take what I could get for my property and move to higher ground. But thats just me I kinda like living above sea level.
Finger-pointing in every direction has been the game since August 29.
The problem is the flimsy walls of the "canals." None of the original large soil levees on the lake and the river broke. The bigger concern was overtopping.
The artificial canals are thin - the industrial canal for transport river to lake, and the canals like the 17th Street to make drainage of rainwater from the city easier. All should be shut down and plugged at the river and the lake. Another system for drainage of rainwater needs to be devised. The drainage canals operate to project artificial arms of Lake Ponchartrain into the center of New Orleans - these canal walls under no less water pressure than the out large earth shoreline levee.
Ward Nine and Chalmette might have to be written off.
Where's the mayor? Why is the mayor not doing something?
When is Mayor Noggin' going to come out and thank Gen. Allen for saving the 100k+ people that Noggin' asked to come back into the city. Instead of Noggin' calling Allen "Fed Mayor King" or whatever, he should be kissing the dudes ring!
i told g.w. to put that cane' in reverse.....
Don't expect that building next to water below sea level will ever be safe or a bright thing to do.
Gee what is Mother Nature trying to tell us about this geographical location?
I've finally had it. Screw LA. Let them pay for their own recovery and do the work themselves. They elected all of these corrupt and whining imbeciles, and thus should face the consequences of their actions.
2nd time in a month. Can we finally write off NOLA?
Time to bring some DUTCH ENGINEERS to design some REAL levy system....
