""Do you think New Orleans should be rebuilt? sso hard to protect from Acts of Me - should we rebuild NO"

"Oh Holy One a thousand pardons but they protect Holland. They can proitect New Orleans."

I dunno, Jex. What do you want me to say about kissing up to a cult that is not only by far the most evangelistic on the face of the earth but but will forever be intellectually and socially retarded at the sixth century AD sand monkey level?

17146. concerned - 10/22/2005 7:24:51 AM

RE. NO, I personally would backfill anything I move back into there to above sea level. But I know an attitude like that's just making too much sense for you to handle, jex.

17147. concerned - 10/22/2005 7:28:36 AM

'Course, I'm speaking from the experience of having a half acre of property backfilled and graded to eight feet above floodplain for for about a quarter the cost of a double-wide.

Don't expect you to wrap your brain cell around that either, jex.

Little brown-nosing poli sci girlie prof to the Great One (speaking in acronyms cause she didn't think I knew that MESA=Middle Eastern Studies assn - after she'd prattled on in Kurdish to His Holiness)

"Well yes since I am president-elect I suppose it would be impolitic not to - a dereliction of duty I'd think"

Re. 17148 -

No, I'm somebody who is just a little bit proactive about protecting himself against acts of nature. That a crime in the LW Bible now, "Mr. Redneck" Louisianian?

Some people got lost in the flood...


What has happened down here, is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard, and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Placker Mine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away

President Coolidge come down, in a railroad train
With his little fat man with a note pad in his hand
President say "little fat man, oh isn't it a shame,
What the river has done to this poor farmer's land"

Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, you're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, oh Lord, they're trying to wash us away
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away



Some people got away all right...

Then you need allies, not adversaries.

I certainly have more allies than adversaries, but my allies are not themselves the political animals that any adversaries are.

If your work is genuine and contributes to corporate profitability and shareholders' returns then it cannot be neglected for long unless you willingly allowed others to misrepresent you.

I do my best, but the rats are kinda sneaky about it.

5 miles from the Mississippi River TD..

I worked as legal advisor to the joint venture that built Phase II Lock and Dam 28 Alton IL for the COE...

I know about floods and cofferdams and levees and flood control locks and spillways...

How the mayor of NO and the guv of LA figured that just flapping their gums would help NO is certainly beyond me, but that's all they ever did besides sitting on their dead asses and crying

17155. concerned - 10/22/2005 7:53:43 AM

Re. 17153 -

So you're one of the fucktards that designed the Category 2 levees for NO? Now I know who to blame.

17156. concerned - 10/22/2005 7:58:52 AM

Jes' funnin' on yer a little bit, jex:) How's things?

Hello!

17161. judithathome - 10/22/2005 4:17:17 PM

Good morning, Magos! What's going on with you today? We're going out to dinner and to a movie tonight since I didn't hear from Summer Woman...some friends we haven't seen in awhile have been asking us to go out and so we are...going to see The History Of Violence. Even if the movie sucks, at least I'll get to see Viggo Mortenson.

17162. Magoseph - 10/22/2005 4:41:39 PM

Hey, Judith—I’m fine and dandy, prancing around the house while Flexy is meeting with his kids and grandkids, a meeting to which my presence is superfluous, as I piously said to him. What happens usually when I accompany with him is that the four girls are much more interested in me than they are in their grandpa. Of course, their interest has nothing to do with my well-known charm, but only in the fact that I can play with them.

17163. Ms. No - 10/23/2005 3:04:56 AM

Ah! I loved that movie!
