    I heard rumblings of this problem before Katrina….. and I am sure William Jefferson put his cash in his freezer to protect it form just such a sewage ruining backup. The Bushes are everywhere……. their sticky fingers, or smelly in this case, manage to destroy bridges, steer hurricanes, corrupt water and sewer lines, mess up the Big Dig in mass, and create a pit bull fighting ring to doom a star football player. And Gorlacticus thought he was good!

    I hate to tell ‘em…but some of the sewer and water pipes in this town ain’t doin’ so well, either.

    And it’s all Bush’s fault.

    As a matter of fact, I have a hangnail, and it’s really bothering me. And I know Bush had something to do with that, too. Any my daughter’s cat is sick. And I had to put my Momma in a nursing home. And I almost ran out of gas today.

    Listen up, Bush! When will it ever be enough?!

    Not to fear. The weather machine is still being pursued by the Chinese for use with the Olympic Games, but clever Texas politicians have managed to stay one step ahead of the Chicom agents. They were going to use it to force development of the Trans Texas Corridor, but now the producers of the Fox TV hit series “24″ have approached the politicios about using the story of the weather machine in the upcoming series which just began filming for January release. Jack Bauer will attempt to recover the weather machine from the evil Chicom agents who plan to use it to assist Crabby Appleton (played by John McCain who wants to catch up with Fred Thompson as a TV star) to “control the world.” Lots of Texas pols make cameos - KBH as a neurotic, pill addicted head of Texas Homeland Security, Gov Perry as a slick double agent for both Russia and China, and too many more to list right now. Stay tuned - it’s gonna be quite a year as the entertainment industry takes over the world’s 2nd most dangerous weapon simply by being willing to offer more money to the pols that the Chicoms.

    Is that a documentary you’re pitching?

    Whatever happen to all those investigations into misuse of funds that were suppose to go to the levees?? I guess since the government is still paying for the rent for some of the Katrina people here for another year, why not tack on repairs of the city as if city and state taxes should have but couldn’t solve their problems. I bet if a Republican was running the state or the city they would be blaming them but since the only Republican in striking distance of the media is George W. Bush, then blame him for everything.

    I noticed a travel spread in the paper recently urging visitors to consider staying in the cities on the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain across from NOLA. It described the amenities and the successful reconstruction/recovery of that area. Plus an excursion into NOLA is a relatively short trip across the causeway for the touristy areas. Smart marketing on the north shore’s part.

    That area is beautiful. We have friends living just outside Covington. When Katrina left it took them two days to saw their way down the driveway to the road. It is not a long driveway. They are hardy Texas stock.

    How did they have time to do this while simultaneously causing bridges to collapse elsewhere? Maybe they are more powerful than we thought…

  8. Rastus on August 6th, 2007 at 9:50 pm

    #7 Karl Rove told me that the bridge thing was just an accident, as were the mine cave in in Utah and the building collapse in Las Vegas. Since they’ve turned the weather machine over to private contractors they’ve been working on an earthquake machine, and as as might be expected, there are just a few bugs to be worked out here in the early development and testing stages. It’s main purpose is to physically divide California into 2 states and once again attempt to dilute the democratic stronghold that currently exists out there much like they did in New Orleans with the weather machine. More later on this as it develops.

    I read somewhere that NO still has some of the original cypress wood piping servicing parts of the city. It wouldn’t surprise me — many of the streets in NO are simply asphalt slapped over cobblestone (you can see the cobblestone in the potholes). Taxes are high but infrastructure is pitiful.

  10. plonker on August 6th, 2007 at 9:54 pm

    Infra structure ALWAYS suffers when polititians spend our money on their buddies and Not on what’s important. Texas won’t be far behind. Nevertheless, New Orleans politics are the poster children for such behavior. (Adee- The North Shore is New Orleans in exile)

    Went to the fridge. Someone drank the last Pepsi. DAMN YOU GEORGE BUUUUUUSH!

  12. tedtam on August 6th, 2007 at 10:09 pm

    ROTFL!!

    Rastus is the king of Hidden Conspiracy Theories! I bow to your superior web-weaving.

    #10, good description of the North Shore residents.

    At last the true secret of George Bush is known
    do not look at the man behind the drapes.

    He can be everywhere and do any thing all the time

    And just like Santa Clause, he knows who has been good and who has not, but there is no bag of presents to be found for the New Orleans metro area

    Really, If W could do even 1 percent of the things he has been blamed for, he would be a really buzy fellow

  16. Aimster on August 7th, 2007 at 12:30 am

    Well our Wizard of OZ and his trusty Tin Man without a heart should scrap the Earthquake Machine and work on a machine that would pull both their heads out of their behinds.

    Better yet, Bush should work on a machine that will fix this government that he has broken. Shame on him for hiring people who have no business heading up organizations like FEMA. He and his cronies are pathetic. Their fine leadership really shined brightly on the hours and days after Hurricane Katrina.

  18. Gritsforbreakfast on August 7th, 2007 at 10:24 am

    Hmmm, Democrats are doing to Bush what Repubs did to Clinton - blame him for everything imaginable. Shocking, huh? I’m sure none of the commenters above ever participated in such behavior.

    Here’s a prediction: If Hillary is elected, some folks on this blog will blame her for the weather, crumbling infrastructure, and a lot more before it’s all said and done.

    Perhaps, in the end, these are all public policy problems to be communally solved, not just politicized fodder to blame one another for … nah … never mind.

    But it really would be here fault, wouldn’t it.

    mashed corn, I’ve got your communal solution to the cesspool of New Orleans.

    Fill dirt.

  21. Gritsforbreakfast on August 7th, 2007 at 11:29 am

    BJ, as opposed to “mashed corn” I prefer to think of grits as “redneck polenta.” ;)

    And Rick, personally I think it’s OUR fault for pretending it matters which hack from which hack party gets elected instead of demanding whoever is there fix the problems. It doesn’t matter what party is in charge, the response literally from day 1 to Katrina surely is the most blatant example of government incompetence in our lifetimes. What else comes close, besides possibly the conduct of the Iraq war?

  22. bigjolly on August 7th, 2007 at 11:49 am

    rp,

    Katrina is the most blatant example in history NOT of government incompetence but of local citizens incompetence.

    Fill dirt.

  23. bigjolly on August 7th, 2007 at 11:59 am

    BTW, rp, I saw this car and stopped in the rain just to take a picture for you.
