I wish this was an Onion inspired post.
Last night there wasn't much on TV so I watched an episode of Discovery Channel's "Engineering Disasters." They say that insanity is doing things the same and expecting a different result. If so there is plenty loose among those repairing New Orleans' levees. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so frightening.
The Category 5 Hurricane, Katrina caused $Trillions damage because the flood protection walls built after the Category 3 Hurricane in the 1960's were overwhelmed. The work they are doing now to repair and replace the damaged walls is going to cost $30 Billion or so. Cheap I guess.
And then they delivered the punch-line.
Especially when US Army Corps of Engineers are building levees and walls to protect against a CATEGORY 3 Hurricane, because they were not asked to do anything more.
God help you poor buggers in New Orleans.
