Mardi~ Pump You, New Orleans!

Gates at London Avenue Canal will be lowered during heavy rains, Corps says...
What About the Bad Pumps,
New Orleans Says?
Pump You, Corps Sayz

~The corps said that when the gates on the London Avenue Canal are lowered, "temporary pumps" will be able to continue moving water out of the canal and into the lake.
~Editilla Rotellas~ This UpDate is brought to you by the same faux "journalist" of the Bad Pumps posted earlier today.
She seems to be popping them out like rats in a windmill,
these articles of faith and daring poo. Jeez Louie. What next?
Cold War Duck and Cover? Head Between Legs, Kiss Ass Bye'bye?
Here is a possible reason for this Co'piece shoveling out fall,
as nailed by our Herolleros at Levees.org
We think it's unfortunate that the Corps will close the London Avenue gates at a lower lake elevation (i.e. 2 feet higher water than normal) further restricting the S&WB from removing water in a rainfall event.

And we find it odd that Ms. Grissett did not interview anyone from the Water Board.

We are also dismayed that Ms. Grissett described the 17th Street Canal failure as due to follow-up dredging.
No study points to dredging as the primary or even secondary culprit.
The Corps' own studies (IPET) say the primary cause of failure of the 17th was inferior design by the Army Corps.

Any attempt to frame dredging as the primary cause of failure is an attempt to divert attention away from the truth. All this is explained very well in pages 6-12 of Judge Stanwood Duval's January 30, 2008 Dismissal Order. Statements in a federal judgement can most certainly be put forth as fact.

Ummm, yeah! Me Too! Oh but wait there's more!
In what now appears to be a Full Corps PRess they bring out.... The Yeah Dude. All over the TeeVee Tubes.
So OK, here is our own little prime time line:
1) Office of Special Counsel issues a Report on Bad Pumps --which is Reported by Real Honest to Green Goddess Savvy Journalists Women outside of New Orleans.
2) WWL jumps on this story like a Hot Catahoula.
3) Editilla waits and waits for the Times-Picayune until we can't stands no more and write an letter to several T-P journalists, and a few others, including the attorney of the whistle blower,
(not even considering the above mentioned faux gumshoe PR Ho)
4) Gumshoe'Ho comes out with this mornings puff'boo NonSense.
5) Editilla swallows the Fear Grenade and commences to ripping Brain Holes in the Hall.
6) This same Imbecile Hack fixes another out fall piece
(follow-up?)(Secondary PR Framing Placement?)
7) Lo and Behold suddenly they bring out The Yeah Dude Project Leader on TVs to what... reassure the public that the Corps doesn't want to kill us all...just yet that is?
"Yeah, we are confident they are safe. Again, we ran them for 12 to 13 hours during hurricanes Gustav and Ike and they performed fine," said Chris Accardo with the Corps.
"So yeah, we're confident the pumps will perform as designed during a hurricane event."

Oh Snap! Yeah'Boy! Do I feel safer now!
Soooo, we are sure now that Yeah Dude won't mind us getting a look at those operations log-books for the Pumps, eh?
Damn, the way they are rolling this story, one might easily think the Corps saw this PR ASCE'fuck coming.
