It appears Bruce Wayne moved to Tel Aviv ~American Zombie~That's interesting.  We [the Corps of Engineers] have enough money to build a fucking batcave for another country half a world away but we don't have the money to protect the lives of our own citizens in South Louisiana...an area of the country that is absolutely critical to our nation's energy supply.

Big bill for levee upkeep comes to New Orleans
~This Aug. 27, 2012 file photo, shows a teddy bear at the base of a marker for the 17th Street Canal Floodwall in New Orleans. By the time the next hurricane season starts in June 2013, New Orleans will take control of much of a revamped protection system of gates, walls and armored levees the Army Corps of Engineers has spent about $12 billion building. The corps has about $1 billion worth of work left. Engineers consider it a Rolls Royce of flood protection, comparable to systems in seaside European cities such as Venice and Rotterdam.
