How about the readers here being smarter than most of the press (and the blogger) about JonBennet, eh? Silly tosser has had his charges dropped! Meh.

And if I hear one more fuckin’ thing about Katrina and New Orleans, I’m going to blow my top. It’s been one year. One year. A city doesn’t get rebuilt in one year. Hundreds of years to build, 24 hours to destroy, a decade to restore – it’s that simple. Especially since you first have to rebuild a levee system around the outside of the town as the town continues to sink into the Gulf of Mexico. Not when it was filled up like a cereal bowl on a Saturday morning by a hurricane. New York still has a gaping 3 acre sized hole in downtown Manhattan, five years after 9/11. They only have to rebuild 10 city blocks or so and it’s still a pooch screw. And frankly, they have a lot more money to work with than New Orleans does.

Take my advice: leave the existing city as part of the delta deposit, head north and start over on higher ground – in fact, take over Metarie and call it good.
