Too big to fail

N.O. Humor
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 *** New Orleans Relief Concert 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.

New Orleans humor...
I saw an interview on TV a couple days ago with a Canadian who's been working in NO. The interviewier asked why he didn't leave when the voluntary evacuation was issued. He said he didn't trust his car enough to drive in the wet weather. She asked if it was an old car, he said "No, it's a Jaguar".

Teach a man to fish, and you give up your monopoly on fisheries.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him to fish, and he sits in a boat drinking beer all day.

Give a man a fish and you remind him of his ex-wife.
