Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans: Buying Advice or Spin?
~Georgianne Nienaber, Huff

~Bit News Update! Fun's over Kiddi'rillas! Within minutes after the above Huff Post article, Corps PR Firm OPP shut down all web links to their Corps pages due to...???
Y'all go drop in some Word fo'da Corps!
~Editilla Specticulatas~We ain't saying we had anything to do wit'dis, buuuuttt, fortunately for Flood Survivors, all those pages had gone fairly Viral onto the internet before they started in with the ice pick or whateva these weirdos do to denude their nefarious content. Most of our links still work, some not, so please try them anyway. We toll'yaz, we can't make this stuff up!
And, speaking of OPP as a virus from outer space...
We The Antibody Politic...
Thank Goddess for the pubic commons of neural nets!
Our Pucelle d'Orléans does not suffer fools, but rather, prefers to have them served cold, with Oysters and a Bloody Mary.
Editilla is exquisitely gratified by the rising tide of Nola bloggers commenting in the article above. It appears that breaching this story finally connects more than a few dots for Flood Survivors, particularly regarding continuous Corps Obfuscations, Cost Increases, Useless Public Meetings, Project Delays and general Skull'Buggery.
We see this freakshow every day, while the rest of the country usually misses out on all da'fun circus sideshows.
Rest assured, Gentle'rillas, we will see OPP giving the Exquisite Corps Head again, if they aren't hopefully fired and shipped out of New Orleans on a rendering barge, Then what will we see?
"Additional details previously posted about our (OPP) work with the Corps are currently under review. Appropriate additional information will be re-posted next week." ~H/T-Mat McBride
What sort of lobotomized market zombie could possibly top "Reducing Risk by Building Strong" with OPP?
Bwhahahahahaha, like we said you just can't make this stuff up. Butt with the Exquisite Corps of Engineers, one thing fo'sho...
OPP ain't the place to get caught...wit'cha pants down!

Hahahahahahahaha! Yeah You Know Me!
This contract with OPP to cover-up the Corps' engineering failures of 8/29/05 is to pay out $5.25 million over its 3 year term, $1.75 million a year. Ironically, that amount is just $250,000 more than what it would take to Actually Get To The Bottom of the Exquisite Corps of Engineers Failures of 8/29.

Corps: MRGO did not aggravate Katrina flooding BWHAHAHA HAHAHAHA~Cain Burdeau
~"I'm sure it (Corps engineering) was cost effective until Katrina," Judge Duval said wryly. "Cost effective is the bane of our existence in New Orleans."
