~Editilla Notellas~ We carried this post through today for the rollicking commentary developing there and elsewhere, as we gather around this growing threat to clear information on our Flood Safety, a blog'0'sphere moving as an antibody politic.
Corps of Engineers/OPP report released on location for new pump stations in outfall canals
~Sheila Grissett
The release, effective Monday, opens a 30-day period during which the public reviews and officially comments on the report known as Individual Environmental Report 5. The report, entitled "Outfall Canal Closure Structure, Orleans and Jefferson Parishes," evaluates the potential human and environmental impacts of the proposed locations for the new permanent pump stations and closure structures at or near the mouths of the 17th Street, Orleans Avenue and London Avenue canals.
It will be discussed during a public meeting the corps has scheduled May 20, at St. Dominic's Church, 6363 Memphis St.
Open house begins at 6:00 p.m, with presentation and discussion of this 300+ page behemoth report starting at 7:00 p.m.
~Editilla Com'postas~Kiss Ms Grissett.
Despite dogged gumshoes on this Pump House Gang'bang story she can only report what they tell her, has no control over the efficacy of the message being presented and, frankly, is paid perhaps 1/10th what the copy writers of that media packet get from the Corps PR Contractor. While our Post-Disaster Economy may soon see the destruction of Ms Grissett's livelihood as a print journalist, her counterparts in the Public Relations Industry are dancing like flies on sherbert, lapping it up ...Marketing Risk.
Editilla, alas, marches to a different 2nd Line. We are Beotchwolf,
the Corpsickled PR Spinfiltraitor's worst forking nightmare.
Perhaps Ms Grissett will go online and start a blog with all the other soon to be out-sourced real journalists, where they can enjoy doing their jobs without having to share the page with paid professional marketing jackals. We would go there, following the Word like Humid Beings, and enjoy the flood of supportive advertisements that would follow as well. Hear that Gambit?
Is this an actual article, or a press packet placed by the Corps' Million Dollar/Year PR Contractor: Outreach Process Partners OPP? <-(we can't make this stuff up with the name) This meeting will be staged by OPP, as per their 4 year contract. How is any journalists, or the general public at these endless meetings, to know what the Exquisite Corps is putting in their Cool Aid, when it is served up in little Dixie Cups for the slick'heeled "cause" of
can you say Other People's Professionals?

Critics blast Port of New Orleans plan for warehouse on wharves near French Market
~Bruce Eggler
~Editilla Con'swellas~ This is at least the 3rd article from the TP on this Bad Development Decision --and still as yet the 3rd time they fail to bring up the Deadly Dangerous Chemical: Anhydrous Ammonia, at least 50,000 pounds for the Refridgerant Systems at the present NOCS site, to be stored at the bottom of the French Quarters, along the River,
at the very heart of our most cash-intensive tourist district.
I mean, aside from this horror, what about the Money? What part of NO MONEY do these disaster capitalists not understand?
