Can you imagine what the dolphins are thinking?
“MAAANNNN when that mother-fucker in the blue and white trunks shows up, I am REALLY gonna take a shit on HIS day…”

I think that time would be better spent with Pigs armed with Anti-aircraft weaponry. Pigs are very smart and hey what could possibly go wrong with arming animals. Or better yet perhaps the old southern adage about the second amendment “The right to arm bears” comes to mind. Well. later Frodo.

The-malcontent is becoming a role model. Not that surprising, really, but highly amusing.

Why are armed dolphins so crazy? They’re highly intelligent. Just because Bush wants to take the 1st amendment from people he doesn’t agree with doesn’t mean he shouldn’t expand the second to other species…

What. The. Crap? Every time I think I’ve got the government figured out, they go and do the most crazy thing I’ve ever heard of. Worse still, they’ve been doing that crazy thing for years.

The average person in that area is too black, too poor, and too unlikely to vote for the Bushies to care about them. I’m most amazed that it took FOUR DAYS (and being cursed out by the mayor of New Orleans) for them to get their shit together. If Long Island faced a similar risk, the levies would be WORLD CLASS.

So is your relative out of there yet? One of our secretaries’ family is missing and her parents’ house no longer exists.

Thanks for the good wishes for my cousin. Sounds like he is going to need them.

My core point is less about whether anyone could build levees high enough and more about the tendency of politicians, and particularly the current administration, to be reactive and not proactive policy makers. What is the point in having tons of truly expert advice if not to use it to prepare?

One cannot prepare for all contingencies, but this one (as Kelman's article makes all too clear) was a matter of when, not if.

So, I agree that New Orleans has been living on borrowed time, but you address the situation you've got, not the one you would like to have ideally.
