Let Them Eat Water

As I said over at Corrente:

...nothing I have to say is as important as what Lambert and farmer have highlighted previously on the gutting the Bush administration gave to Louisiana's flood control and hurricane protection research in the last 2 years, here, here, and here. And it's getting worse. Maybe this will be the tragedy that will open the country's eyes to just how dangerous Bush is. Because drowning his own people isn't enough for him: his plans also include suffocating them, too.

UPDATE: The report from the BBC is that 80% of New Orleans in underwater. The Times-Picayune has outlined a nightmare scenario of things to come.
