The Army Corps of Engineers seems likely to fulfill a promise by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans's toppled flood walls to their original, pre-Katrina height by June 1, but two teams of independent experts monitoring the $1.6 billion reconstruction project say large sections of the rebuilt levee system will be substantially weaker than before the hurricane hit.
Those in the New Orleans area knew this already. But for the rest of the world who has been misled by the media, incontrovertable proof now shows that federal officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief of possible devastation just before Hurricane Katrina struck. Six days of video footage from briefings and transcripts were obtained by The Associated Press. The warnings were that the storm could breach levees, risk lives in the New Orleans Superdome, and overwhelm rescuers. A-P reports Bush didn't ask any questions during the final government-wide briefing the day before Katrina struck on August 29th.

Behind the President is his failed Supreme court nomination-Harriet Miers. Next to her is Karl Rove, the man who might be indicted next by Fitzmas for his involvement with the Plame investigation. On his left is the author of the torture memos-Alberto Gonzales. To his right is Michael Chertoff, the guy who fell asleep during Hurricane Katrina and wonders if New Orleans should even exist.
Everyone knows what went down in New Orleans with hurricane Katrina, so when the largest mall in the area, Lakeside Shopping Center, did their annual Christmas Village display, the architect created a unique town, complete with tarp-covered roofs, debris, patrolling guardsmen in Humvees and helicopters rescuing people. The majority of those that saw the little display loved it. But that didn't stop the mall management from caving in to a small group of whiners who apparently complained that the display was in poor taste. So down it went, and patrons continued to flock to see the display only to find out the politically-correct Lakeside Mall pulled the local character from the display.
