It's official!

New Orleans is a city of dumbshits. Any previous doubt about that fact has now been wiped away (or ... dare I say ... washed away?!?!?)

Goes to show you that blaming the Federal Government can get you into office, no matter how inept you are.

As much as I rant & spew about my hope of Kalifornia sliding off the continent in my lifetime, I'd say New Orleans will beat 'em to it. Wanna know why? Check out New Orlean's Emergency Preparedness (sic) Plan:

I could turn this into a new college drinking game: get everybody together in a room. Everybody open a beer. Somebody reads the N.O. Preparedness (sic) Plan. Every time you hear a part of the plan that Nagin didn't follow -- everybody drink. Every time you hear a reference to a "bus" -- chug. You'll be stewed in under 10 minutes, guaranteed.

Not that I've ever played a drinking game.

But I digress.

I actually volunteered with the Red Cross to go to the Gulf Coast after Katrina hit. I won't do it again. New Orleans has made it's bed. It can lie in it.
