On Wisconsin
Condolances to our countrymen in Wisconsin.

Made the mistake of presuming the US Army Corps of Engineers were more competent than the Three Stooges? We in South-East Louisiana can identify.

Be prepared to have your state denounced as inherently UnAmerican and the population idiots for living there.

I remember a cartoon from the Times-Picayune that showed this huge crane digging a canal with "Army Corps" written across the door and a little cartoon guy saying, "The Army Corps's new canal will allow access to the largest ships." And another little cartoon guy saying, "What will they carry?" And the first cartoon guy looking surprised and saying, "Why, more Army Corps equipment, of course!"

I've argued that Vic Schiro is still a worse mayor than Nagin because of his support for the ACOE's MRGO Canal. Hard to top helping drown people 35 years after you leave office.

Never happen. In fact I expect to see editorializing in the fairly immediate future about how sturdy and self reliant Wisconsinites are, how they are good folks who help out their neighbors and pitch in together to clean up the mess, and, unlike us shiftless nigras here in NOLA, do not lie around waiting for 'the government' to do everything for them.

Kind of like those good folks in the SoCal fires.

Hagerman said he had applied for flood insurance a month earlier but didn't think he was covered. He said he hopes the government will offer some help.

This guy, on the other hand, is in for some Swiftboating. Hopefully, he's white, so they probably won't scuff him up too bad.

I remember the joke 20 years ago being that delegations from Wisconsin and Louisiana were trying to work out a deal where they'd run our government and we'd prepare their food.
