smantix…I hate to bring up the obvious, but Heineken is Dutch beer, not German.

Yea, I’ve brought up enough of it, it’s obvious.

or…

Is it time to start building domed-cities?

oh wait, the lefties would love that toooo much as it would almost predicate massive federal control, spending, welfare, contracts for vast in numbers and size of mass transit services so that people can get in and out of the few portals.

Very sneaky, Fish. But I agree with your premise. Do not rebuild a city below sealevel.

You know, you all need to be more respectful. How often in history has one city been the only city blown away by a hurricane? I mean, when that hurricane came in, it nailed N.O. straight on, stayed right over it, and then disappeared not touching even a tree outside of the county. We need to remember all those who were trapped and unable to leave the city because of the dike walls surrounding it like a concentration camp. We must also remember the failed attempts by the engineers of that fine city to place it under the ocean so that damage like this could never happen again. Yeah, sure, they were able to lower the city several feet below the sea level, but more needs to be done. This is where the federal government can play a very secretive and key role in providing funds and media coverage. With the governments help and yours, N.O will never rise above again.

This thread can’t pass without at least a nod to the memory of the roving death squads who ambushed, dismembered, and then wore the untanned hides of rescue and hospital workers. Or George Bush’s vivisection of drowning kittens, or Nightline having baby harp seals flown in to be clubbed at the scene.

Someone needs to tell him, “Heineken! Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!”

[...] Although the situation is far from resolved, it’s been overtaken by the anniversary of Katrina and an airplane crash in Kentucky! Now, I might be wrong – but how come is it that all the major media seem to switch stories at practically the same time? Is it possible – *gasp* – that they’re just copying their top stories from one another, from Reuters and CNN and the like? Is it possible that we have a glut of reporters who’re nothing more than – literal – copy-writers? [...]

I don't have much to add to the Katrina anniversary, but I did happen to find out where one former NOLA resident moved.
