Before Katrina, New Orleans’s levees could have been reinforced to withstand a category 5 hurricane for about $2.5 billion. The U.S. spends $2.5 billion every two weeks in Iraq.

X RATED

The X's are still all over the city, it wears me out to see them. I find myself scanning all of them as I drive, looking for the bottom center number - hoping to see a zero (indicating body count )but on rare occassion finding a higher number. It's X rated.
