Safety and surge protection
~Corps officials in New Orleans have said that they believe Congress only authorized building new stations for storm surge, not the more expensive, all-purpose stations that Sens. Landrieu and Vitter are advocating. But Adam Sharp, Sen. Landrieu's deputy chief of staff, said that "it's up to Congress to decide what is or is not authorized. And in order for a decision to be made, Congress needs cost estimates."
~Editilla Interrupta~Sharp refers to cost estimates from the Exquixotic Corps of Engineers--already ordered by Congress--rather than the Corps' relentless, obfuscatorial misinterpretations of past congressional mandates, or the meaning of the concept: tax-payer funded flood protection.
And btw, Times Picayune, how much levee has the Corps of Engineers 'rebuilt' already with their corrupt, mafia engineering 'cost recovered' bidding?
Please do not misunderestimate the Corps Intrasigence as a result of True Project Engineering Challenges---but understand it for the election-year hard'ball that it is. The Corps inbred policy is to deal with so'called "Congressional Mandates" or "SETTLED LAW" by simply waiting out any elected opposition to their subterfuge. They actually attempt to swing the next the next election with: fear (as in known flood threats), bribery (as with who will get Project Contract Dollars) and extortion (as in the current Criminal Case of Levee Reconstruction sited above).
These people are admitted criminals. They should be arrested and sent to OPP to sit-out the next hurricane season. Then, if we have a court left, we try these war criminals and drag them in chains down the middle of Canal Street, through the length of the 17th Street Canal and off into da'bayou to Angola behind the next evacuation 2nd Line. No public humilitation is too good for these bastards as no public humiliation will ever match the nationally televised rape and crucifixion which they perpetrated on the City of New Orleans. The Corps of Engineers needs to be shown how it really works in a prison: "Punk me once and I either take you out or you punk me whenever you want, again and again and again."
Please demand the 8/29 Commission.

Is this shit--or jus'more of the same shinola???
!?*%#?!~Given that most New Orleanians already know where they got they shoes, we may still wonda what the hell we steppin'in. Hence, I would like to know the ad costs: to the Exquixotic Corps for mid-page flash- player media ads like the one playing on and off James Gill's Online Times Picayune article (hung below...)
(...and god only knows where else across the country in different Corps PR machinery). Our taxes working against us.
How much did our Corps pay for this adversisment which links to their beautiful, ecosmiley website--itself a pretty slick set up by Corps Public Relations Contractors like this one? How much tax money did da'TP take from da'Perps?
Sorry but this is Not Bagdhad on'da Bayou and This Dog will Not Hunt. As there is no inherent military contracting secrecy problem here, though this does in fact involve our future homeland security, the TP must release the details of this Ad Contracting Assfuck to the public who paid for it.
This is rediculous. I cannot afford an ad with the TP--and would be willing to wager with James Gill that neither can tiny Levee.org afford such an ad, or Friends of the Sunflower River, or any of the myriads of Citizen Warriors across the country in various theaters of battle with the Corps--or they would have one as well to counter this Corpscicle Spin. This is why we do not accept ANY advertising revenue at da'Ladda. We know how to spell schmethics and the difference between that and aesthetics, aesthethics and just some shmo'ma from'da PT Barnham School of Shameless Self/Promotions!
Why am I funding Corps of Engineers Public Relations through the Times Picayune? I am no more interested in supporting any criminal's public relations than I am in opposing the death penalty for pedophiles.
What if the gang-banger murderer of the drummer for the Hot 8, well covered in the TP, wanted to run Flash Ads on behalf of his defense of that murder? What is the difference?
Whoever gots da'gold teeth makes da'ruels?
Is this not A CONFLICT OF INTEREST on the part of the Times Picayune? This is not a public service announcement but a rather expensive PAID ADVERTISMENT.
THE TIMES PICAYUNE IS ACCEPTING MONEY FROM SOMEONE WHO IS ACTIVELY THE TARGET OF LIABILITY LITIGATION BROUGHT BY HUNDREDS OF CITIZENS OF NEW ORLEANS AND ALSO UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION BY THE US JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND ALSO LYIN'BASTADS!
SORRY SUCH A CAPITAL OFFENSE CALLS FOR CAPITAL LETTERS! I CAN'T STOP! SOMEBODY MAKE ME STOP!!!
AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEeeeee....OK, I feel mo'betta. Ahhh?
And a -Big A- Fuck These Fuckity Fucking Fuckmooks!
Oh! OhOhOH! I Get It Now! SILLY ME! Judas Priestess! Forgive my Bourgeois Nievete....who will the Times Picayune endorse in the upcoming elections? Enqueerin'Rillas want to know.

Go to Work, Go to Jail~Recently, more than 100 workers in Pascagoula, Mississippi walked off the job at the huge shipyard to protest conditions similar to slavery.
The workers were protesting the conditions they have been living and working in since being hired from India after the disaster.
According to the lawsuit filed in the workers' behalf, they were offered jobs, green cards and permanent residency in exchange for as much as $20,000 each that they paid to recruiters working for a Northrop Grumman subsidiary in Bombay. Perhaps this one?

Immigration Raid Jars Small Town~"They don't go after employers. They don't put CEOs in jail," complained the Postville Community Schools superintendent, David Strudthoff, 51, who said the sudden incarceration of more than 10 percent of the town's population of 2,300 "is like a natural disaster -- only this one is manmade."

"Shock Doctrine" Spin in U.S., Burma and Beyond
~Smirking Chimp

"The effect of the disaster and the Burmese government's insufficient response to it means that a good share of the junta's political opposition is now dead or dealing with the aftermath of the huge, rampaging storm.
In other words, the disaster offers a great "opportunity" for the ruling elite to settle old scores by continuing to repress the opposition and to remake the affected areas as they wish.
(There have been reports, unconfirmed, of bodies of monks being found in the cyclone rubble -- burned in a suspicious manner -- mixed in with the tens of thousands of other corpses found floating in the rice fields and ditches and rivers."

Burma's Junta Will Survive the Cyclone, prosper from death toll

Burma official death toll: 78,000

Heavy Rains Lash Burma's Cyclone-Struck Irrawaddy Delta
Latest Burma Weather here
and here.

Burma seals Irrawaddy delta to hide victims' plight
For example: What if, after the next hurricane,
Michael "Jack'ya" Chertoff, Chief of the Dept of Homeland Insecurity and legally the Top Officer in Comnmand in the event of a declared National Situation, decides to seal'off the state of Louisiana, or the southern part of the state, or even just New Orleans, under quarantine due to spreading disease in the storm's aftermath, from all the dead animals and standing water, or just under the order of complete command coordination of the National Response Team? Whence comes the Net of the Rising Tide then? Who we gonna call? How will we stay in touch?
To use an old nut'house euphemism, it will be a scene where the rubber meets the room, the kind of bully'pulpit confrontation that will seperate Hackers from Crackers, sever mere humanity with the shock of mere survival. The rest of the country will not know that the math has changed...that now 2+2=5, that our citizens' blood has gone thinner than Black Water, our posterity sold-off
to the American wet dream.

I was here in the city, during that first week of the flood, with only one or two roads out of New Orleans--and the bridge over the river going west was guarded at gunpoint by frightened, ferel Gretna cops. Roads going east and north around the lake were out.
With the Causeway closed this left us with no way out (or in) and the river at our backs, cornered like rats on a burning ship.
Soooo, how hard would it be to seal'off New Orleans from the rest of the country? I understand the scale of such an operation might not seem plausible, but everyone has seen how these neocowards at the helm are Not at All about Competent Logistics, but All about Plausible Deniability hidden behind a curtain of Freidmaniacal Economies of Scale.
Ergo, this is a valid question because I saw it happen. Other than the old "Huey P. Long Payphones" in the French Market and a few ground lines out of the city we (excluding expendable officials and journalists) were as isolated in the dark as rats in a bag.
So the people of Burma struggle to survive. They are Sinn Féin.
You think I exagerate? HA!!! Exagerate what is left of THIS!
Can we leave them to die too, rather than instead,
denied as we are now the luxury of thinking of them or us? Rats!

The International Red Cross said in a new estimate that the death toll may already be between 68,833 and 127,990 – considerably higher than the Burmese government's latest official count of 38,491 dead. The Red Cross said it made the estimate by compiling figures gathered by other aid groups and organizations and extrapolating the total.

But the odd Parydox of that comes from the fact that I may not have Experienced the CM personally, though it has happened (or been remembered as happening) already, within what is becoming our world's "collective consciousness", that verdant and puissant virtual domain of Our Memory (OM) known as the Internet.

2: "In a city one wears a hat and takes their lunch in a restaurant. It is the civilized way to live."
-Alfred Hitchcock
3: Without hats there would be no tips.
-Annonymous Editillero...
4:Because..."Sometimes the Grave Is a Fine and Public Place""~The story goes that Paul Tulane, who made his fortune as a haberdasher in 19th-century New Orleans, wanted to give part of that fortune to the university in his hometown, Princeton. The catch was that he wanted the university renamed for him. When that didn't happen, he gave his money to the university in New Orleans that now bears his name.
He eventually came back home. But before he died it is said that he demanded that the statue on his grave face away from the Princeton University campus. "That seems to have been pretty much debunked by now," said George Brown, Princeton Cemetery's historian. "But he must have been a pretty egotistical guy. He's the only one here with a big statue of himself."
Mr. Tulane (1801-1877) would probably come up short on the list of accomplished people buried in Princeton Cemetery, which is just off the heart of town at Witherspoon and Wiggins Streets.
All right, so Mr. Tulane is credited with developing the crease in trousers -- "He was cranking them out so fast he stuffed them in little boxes so they got the crease," Mr. Brown said.
[Editeurilla wondas and would not be surprised to discuva, if Toole, who taught at Tulane, knew this about its founder when he scribed Gus and Levy Pants, in Confederacy of Dunces? Enquirin'Rillas want to know.]
... Yet also buried there are a United States president, Grover Cleveland; a vice president, Aaron Burr Jr.; and other people of great accomplishment, from the pollster George Gallup to the novelist John O'Hara to the mathematician John von Neumann. Mr. Brown calls Princeton Cemetery the Westminster Abbey of America for the abundance of stars buried in its compact space."
