Editorial: Shifting hurricane risk to taxpayers

Letter: Not all Katrina survivors taxpayers
Yeah well...yer oh'so humble Editilla would like to point out that: not all blonds are women, not all mad dogs are Dachsunds and not all white people are passive-aggressive rascist psychopathic Nazi'fuckmooks.
I paid taxes for nearly 30 years and lived in New Orleans too and saw my tax-funded levees fail too and had to run for my life for six days too. That has nothing to do with people who pay no taxes, but everything to do with the Corps of Engineers--to whom I have in fact paid my taxes to build those levees correctly UND THEY DID NOT!
~UND THEN THEY LIED ABOUT IT!
~UND THEN THEY TRIED TO COVER IT UP!
~UND TODAY THEY SPIN THEIR INSIPID FUCKMOOKERY--WHILST THE WATERS RISE!
WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT OVER???
SIEG HELL MY ASS???
This is really important still today, right now, as the rivers rise again and the Corps levees fail again and again across the Central United States.
I mean come on folks...how many times will our Daddy get to slap us across the face wit'da stupid'stick while He rapes our Mother over bloody flooded funereal ground before we realize that it is not Our or Our Mother's fault for simply existing within His world, but that Daddy is just an arrogant asshole drunk on control freak who happened to get there first, who knows only the way into trouble because He created the entire fetid disfunctional miasma?
We will have this patriarchal death'wish but let us not mistakenly blame people who don't pay taxes.
Rather, let us prosecute those crooked fakir hoodlum junk'dealers of the Exquixotic Corps of 'Engineers'--who have already taken our money and who now seem intent on rubbing us all out with more expensive "flood control", as if to make way for Big Agri Business to feed the next crop of spin'dried, gen'modeled marks.
Why can we not send a sherriff to arrest these criminals? How do we stop these forking icehole idiots? We have an entire nation of real engineers ready to step in and do this job correctly and safely. Why waste more precious lives, land and booty? Why?

4 Pilings of the Nola House
~Humid Haney

Mr "No Regrets" Busby,
I just finished your article today in the WP:
"Insecure About Climate Change".
Your insightful opening thesis caused me to research your background in the hopes of finding any hard experience with civil engineering.
No. Too bad. You have none. You have credentials.
So your lack of any knowledge of how levees are actually built or misbuilt might explain your inaccurate, misleading, down-right misdirecting pretense that New Orleans was flooded by hurricane Katrina, which had passed the city as a much weakened though still dangerous Cat 2 storm. What you profer is known today as it was discovered after the holocaust of WW2: The Tiny Lie, child of the Big Lie, told over and over and over. So while the levees fail in Missouri this week we are to believe that it is due to amorphous "Global Warming", rather than the Corps of Engineers who designed and built the entire flood control system?
This of course throws into doubt the intellectual foundation of the rest of your report, though not perchance your motivation in writing it for the Council of Foreign Relations. Fear. Fear the unpredictable sky full of bad weather and hijacked airliners. Fear hysterical, ungovernable Naked Mother Nature--not the Uniformed Government Man who built the levees.
Why or how else could you make such an egregious mistake of perception? Medication or the lack therof? Prehistoric global flash-freezing and/or, of late, thawing of your brain? Were you friggin' born last night? Given the mountain of engineering evidence that the levee system was not topped but failed, and the Corps of Engineers own admission that the city flooded due to breeches in the levee system which were themselves the result of failed design, execution and maintenance by the US Army Corps of Engineers, I find myself completely stunned and amazed by your ignorance. Please at least review some of the more topical engineering questions surrounding this criminal negligence.
By refusing to acknowledge the Corps of Engineers' failed levees, your report does more damage by leaving our country unaware and hence unprepared for the next real catastrophy--as happened in New Orleans--as is happening this very moment in Missouri. By hiding the bad seed in the heart of our waterways infrastructure, your report does nothing to mitigate this glaring broken bone in the body politic. And the fact that you are published in National Media makes this threat to our welfare even more insidious and strange.
So what is your point, Mr Busby? Why in the world would anyone want to publish such glaring inacuracy? Profit perhaps? Who paid for this study? I certainly hope that I don't find tax dollars behind it. Oh no, but I feel that I must search for that too. Who funds these excercises in miss-information? Yikes! For whom da'hell does yo'bell toll?
You cannot expect me to trust the veracity of the rest of your article. You killed the truth in the opening paragraphs. So it doesn't matter whether you answer me, though I would very much worry about your lonely conscience.
We survived the hurricane that fateful August (of course I was there) but not the US Corps of Engineers.
But we survive the Corps today as we will survive you tomorrow.
Sinn Féin,
Editilla d'Aphasia

"This old Live Oak tree in City Park in New Orleans lays out its wrinkles and age spots -- it's a form of character that seems to invite young kids to climb on.

Probably most of the leaders in this community climbed on it as children or on one of its neighbors."~Steve Buser, New Orleans Daily Photo.
