Excellent parallel. I try to work a “breaching the levees” metaphor into every conversation these days. Much as I tried to work tsunami metaphors into everything a while back.

Thanks for pointing out this opportunistic exploitation of one of our Nation’s most important holidays.

I send Sandy an email letting her know how much I appreciated her celebration of Memorial Day.

I don’t know if it is appropriate to post her email address on your site, but here it is:

sandy@levees.org

Couldn’t she have selected another holiday? Perhaps Cinco de Mayo…to symbolize the similarities between the breaching of the NOLA levees and the daily breaching of our southern border…
