Not to make light of the flooding in New Orleans, there is a very simple solution. Do nothing. Just change the name of the city from "New Orleans" to "New Venice" ... or maybe "New Atlantis"

Occurred to me that hurricanes seem to happen in Republican administrations. So I checked the top 10 past hurricanes. All happen during Republican administrations except one. Supposed God is trying to tell us something?
Not including Katrina, the total is $139 billion, of which $10.8 happened during a Democratic administration. Does that mean God is 92% Democratic?
Andrew 1992 43.7 billion Republican
Charley 2004 15.0 Republican
Ivan 2004 14.2 Republican
Hugo 1989 12.3 Republican
Agnes 1972 11.3 Republican
Betsy 1965 10.8 Democrat
Frances 2004 8.9 Republican
Camille 1969 8.9 Republican
Diane 1955 7.0 Republican
Jeanne 2004 6.9 Republican
All in 2004 dollars

Opening Act: "Katrina and the Waves"

After the massive deaths, the near-total destruction, the complete failure to provide security, the widespread looting, and snail-paced response by the Bush Administration, we could rebuild New Orleans. Or we can just rename it New Baghdad.
