By the way, I have a bridge for sale

It sounds exciting. The Feds are going to rebuild the levees in New Orleans. Yea! (forget about the fact that they were repeatedly warned that the levees we had there wouldn't survive a Category 5 hurricane which is exactly what happened.)

At a news briefing at the White House, officials dodged the question of whether the levees would be built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane, using broader language instead to promise that the city's citizens would be safe and the levees would be "stronger and better.

But not strong enough to get them insurance. Who would underwrite a structure in a New Orleans that might go sub aqueous next summer? After all, we just had the last of the summer hurricanes and we were in November and up to the middle of the Greek alphabet.

Aye, Carumba.
