~"It's crazy that they'll cut something this important from our projects and send the money somewhere else," said Bob Turner, the levee authority's executive director.
Turner is particularly concerned that the corps is looking at building a "stop log" closure across the Caernarvon Canal rather than the long-planned sector gate. Such a cost-cutting change would require closing the navigable waterway four to five days before a storm, an unnecessary hardship to marine industries located behind the new floodwall, he said.
"The more severe problem is, what if a tropical storm blows up right off the coast and there's (no) time to get it closed, " he said. "It requires a large crane lifting large pieces in the canal . . . and with high wind and pouring rain, that's dangerous."
~Editilla Slide'rules out Risk Reduction~
~As the Corps of Engineers Absconds with Hundreds of Millions of our hard earned tax dollars for Faulty Pumps and No Outfall Options, they scurry about the Funding Ship of State like trained rats in some nefarious criminal gang looting what money is left to cover their ASCECORPS VERMIN ASSES.
So now the real Shell Game Roulette is in full spin with the Corps.
Where da'Nut? Where da'Nut? Follow da'Nut!
Don't watch da'Hands --FOLLOW DA'NUTS!
Don't listen to da'Man --FOLLOW DA'NUTS!
We told you all this months ago, even last year, that the Corps would wait until the trucks start rolling to really start playing Russian Roulette with a Shell Game. But alas, coming from silly Editilla --not some Smarty'Cat Engineer who is good at interpreting reports-- what does it really matter to the price of rat's ass in China, eh?
Remember how we described the Massive Corps Shell Game? Remember how we would say the Corps are Lying Murderers who will Cheat at Dodge'ball With Our Flood Safety in order to control their own revenue stream? Silly Editilla. Engineers don't Lie.
Who gives a flying nun's fart what we say, eh?
We guess USACE HQ has hit your New Orleans Ladder lo these hundreds of times just for the cheerful banter we direct their way. (-:Hi Corps!:-) They Know How We Love the Corps...just Love'em ta'Bits! But who do we love even more than the Exquisite Corps? Oh, that would be the Engineers who have kept Silent about the Corps Engineering while the Fix Was In.
Now the cylinder is Spun, the Hammer Cocked...
who's going to find the Bullet --Don't Watch The Hands!
A Shell Game of Russian Roulette in a Casino of the Damned.
The Corps knows this is not a game of Engineering where the Truth either works or it fails. The Corps know this game better than anyone, to wit: Criminal Engineering Negligence (CEN) is easier, more lucrative and the witnesses all die-off in the long run.
There is nothing more dangerous than a Lying Engineer...
--because then all we have left to work with is the Word of a Liar.

House Passes Bill with $35 Million in Melancon-Secured Water/Oil and Gas Projects for South Louisiana
~Louisiana RealEstateRama
~“I am extremely disappointed that two hurricane protection projects critical to south Louisiana – Morganza to the Gulf in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes and Pump to the River in New Orleans – will not be advanced by this bill. Louisianians who are depending on these projects to protect their homes and businesses are losing patience with the Army Corps, and I share their frustration. Without this protection, we spend every hurricane season hoping and praying that another Katrina or Gustav doesn’t destroy what we have worked so hard to rebuild. In the coming weeks, I will be aggressively working to find a pathway to advance both Morganza and Pump to the River, and will hold the Corps accountable for building the best possible hurricane protection for the people of south Louisiana.”

Days Late and Dollars Short, High-speed rail link gets support from Rep. Anh 'Sacred' Cao???
~Despite an impassioned (?) last-minute (?) plea (?) Thursday from Rep. Anh "Sacred" Cao, R-New Orleans, fellow Repo'man Child-Governor Jindal is sticking with its decision not to seek $300 million in high-speed rail money for a NO-to-BR rail link.
~Editilla gotta'Ax~ How many hands of Go Fish for Ahn before he finally scores an issue to anchor his drifting platform?
The other day it was "Got any FEMA?" GO FISH! And last week he mewled: "Got any Cat 5 protection?" GO FISH!
But this latest thing that really tickles Editillas bum is the idea of Sacred Cao squinchin'up an impassioned face for anything.
