$30 million levee filled with holes, Corps of Engineers commands: "Do it Our Way or the Flood Way" ~Nikki Buskey
But the $30 million levee will have four gaps -- each from 200 to 600 feet wide -- where existing pipelines will cut through it.
Corps officials say it is impossible for them to build a complete levee given time and money constraints.
“So we’ll have a super-strong six-mile section of levee with four no-work zones.
Basically that’s a six-mile levee with four holes in it,” said state Sen. Reggie Dupre, D-Bourg. “After the corps finishes its job, someone’s going to have to go and finish this levee."

~Wonkette

~"Is this some hilarious WSJ New Year’s joke?
Because there is no evidence we can locate, outside of some obviously photoshopped images of Ratzi in a cloud of cancer, to suggest our crappiest pope indulges in this particular variety of sucking on cylindrical objects."
