Blame Bush Game September 1, 2005 9:03 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life"Bush administration cut New Orleans flood control funding by 44 percent to pay for the Iraq war." So that does that give us grounds to blame Bush for the destruction of New Orleans? Would the funding have provided maintenance to help the levees hold? Would the funding have provided for the backup levee system discussed? Or the redistribution of silt to start repairing the man made damage?
I doubt it. But it is still fun to Blame Bush! So what major city or US landmark do you think GW will strike next? I’m betting Los Angeles or the Hoover Dam.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI woke last night at 12:34. Not twelve thrity-four but one two three four. Then I woke again at 2:11. That would be 2 and 1+1 = 2. Pretty neat!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeWow! I just examined the satellite photos and realized that the levee that broke which shows the massive flooding in New Orleans is actually the levee that I used to ride my bike on as a kid. I used to get on skifs and play with crab traps. I’d "hunt" alligator (you use a flashlight to see their eyes sticking out of the water). I shot my BB gun down there and hiked on a railroad track. Well the breach is the west side of Kenner a stones throw from where I lived and flooded mostly undeveloped land. Yes, there are other breaches and water is coming into the city but as soon as I’ve met today’s deadline I want to spend some time drawing on the sat picture and explaining a few things. More to come!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeOur New Orleans blogger has put his feed back up but right now it caps at 50 viewers. It is interesting to watch people casually walking down the same street that cars are driving on.
