~Molly Day, Gambit Weekly
~Louisiana is poised to become a leader in environmental restoration — so why aren't the state and federal governments coming up with policies and money to make it happen?
~Editilla bat'schillas~Gentle'rillas...
please go check out the new Gambit Weekly site!
Bookmark it and sign up for their little thingy.
Goodness Gracious Great Googly Mooglies! Damn this is great,
as I am an idiot and find this site extremely accommodating.
Here, for once, the news finds me, rather than having to dig for it by jumping though labyrinths of Advertising Shame.
Now, this is the way to run a print media down the internet supa'forkin highway. Many I have spoken to have worried how Gambit might do this, follow their loyal readers to the immediate surroundings high above the turgid flood waters, on that Great Ladder in da'Sky. (Because, let's face it, if the TP is any indication then newsprint media will be nothing but Corps of Engineers Floodwall Filler before the next decade is out.)
Wet paper jus'soooo sucks when the levees break, eh?
But rest easy, Gentle'rillas. The Pony Expresso has arrived.
Big Oil hurt coast, so why doesn’t it pay for repairs?

Oilfield canals crisscross the marshes of southern Terrebonne Parish.New Orleans: the City that Civil Engineers Forgot~S. Rosenthal
~"I can count on one hand the number of civil engineers who have come forward to publicly rebuke and berate the Corps of Engineers for its well documented gross negligence."

Americans for Civilizing Engineers ~This website was created by concerned engineers from New Orleans and south Louisiana as a struggle against the intimidation of civil engineers
by the US Army Corps of Engineers and the ASCE.
Editilla call'em: ASCECORPS for short.
New Hope for the Gulf Coast?
~Sue Sturgis, Facing South
~"It means a chance for a do-over," says James Perry, executive director of Americans for Gulf Coast Recovery, a citizens' lobby created in 2006. "Katrina fatigue had become the norm, but this new administration has said Gulf Coast reconstruction is a priority. We're already getting calls from people close to the administration asking about what they need to go back and correct."
The Scheme: Oh, lord I want to be in that number - the power game (Chapter 5 qui tam) ~slabbed
trav’ling’ in the footsteps of those who’ve gone before
…we’ll all be reunited on a new and sunlit shore
Katrina, the hurricane, was a trumpet, not a saint.
When the trumpet sounds its call
the powerful go marching in.
Chertoff on the Government's Role in Managing Risk ~Knowledge@Wharton
~Looking back at the 9/11 attacks and various natural disasters during his soon-to-conclude tenure, "or even the current financial crisis, it becomes very clear that we have not always handled risk properly," Chertoff acknowledged.
