Samedi

Corps Fancy All-Female PR Firm,
Atomic Opposite of Levees.org

~These "Ladies" are getting paid $5M in Flood Funding to misinform and misdirect the public view of the Perps who flooded our City on 8/29/05 and killed over 1500 American citizens.
In response to ASCECORPS' immediate attempts to spin'filtrate that criminal negligence in the National Media, Levees.org formed as a grass-roots, non-partisan, multi-ethnic, multi-generational, multi-gender, socio-economical, and hence, omni-adaptable gumbo of Nolafugees to Inform the Public View ...as somewhat of an Antibody Politic... for nothing!
Shit in one hand, diamonds in the other. Who'ya gonna call?
~In contrast, Levees.org has been laboring since December 2005 to reduce the number of negative stories about New Orleans - and been very effective - without any tax payer support of any kind, an entirely volunteer effort. Your hard-earned dollars, $5 million dollars, could instead have gone toward finding the truth about the Flooding in Greater New Orleans.
AstroTurf or Real Grass? Guess we can see who dyes their roots?

~Janice Roper-Graham, founder and president of OPP, said:
The information was removed from OPP's Web site after Rosenthal's email circulated because: "(we) didn't want to give the impression that OPP was 'signally responsible' (??)
for the decrease in bad press."

~Editilla sayz Oooo'rilla?~New Phrase! New phrase!
"Signally Responsible"? WTF does that mean???
Oh this is rich, even if it might just be a typo or cross-cultural grammatical error! HA! Double HA! HA!
I always wanted a girl in a Freudian Slip.

No wonder now why No One believes what the Corps is saying, even when we kinda understand what the Corps is maybe saying? Because this Communications Firm hired to Communicate the Corps to the Public is itself a pack of Horny-faced Lying MisComunicators, aka Public Relations Spin'filtraitors.
From the puissant lips
of the
Succubus...
OPP provides media support for print, broadcast and Internet media on local, national and international levels including outlets such as the Times-Picayune, WWL-TV CBS New Orleans, Associated Press, USA Today, The Weather Channel, The Today Show, French TV Channel 5, and Engineering News Record on issues such as Hurricane Gustav, “paper in the floodwalls” and other investigative responses, seepage, peer review and the state of the hurricane and storm damage risk reduction system.
As part of this cause (?), OPP fosters strategic relationships with media outlets that result in more accurate and balanced stories.
OPP focuses on the enhancement of internal and external communications between the various Corps districts, stakeholders, media and the general public.
OPP has facilitated a myriad of interviews about the rebuilding of hurricane system levees and interim risk reduction structures. Our team members have facilitated in-depth interviews with producers and hosts of The History Channel and MTV. Oh'Snap!
OPP's media support has been a fundamental part of the transition from typically negative news coverage to more neutral and positive news coverage. (Signally Responsible?)
