Time to add a few more verses to "When the Levee Breaks"

The proposed 2007 budget for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been reduced by 47% from pre-Katrina levels.

Good thing that penguins are good swimmers! As for the rest of Louisianians in the New Orleans area, I suggest it's time to start going around in wetsuits with flippers and air tanks, because you're going to need them.

Hey, America -- could you give Louisiana back to the French? Please? At least the Europeans know how to build real levees!

  1. I believe that they can justify cutting the budget of the Army Corps of Engineers by so much because our good friends at Halliburton are more than capable of taking care of the problem.
