   Couldn’t we just shave that chunk off of North Carolina and straighten out the coast? That would reduce the amount of ‘hurricane’ landfalls.

   We could cite the Precautionary Principle.

   Hey, it would reduce sea-level too.

   The dirt could sent to Nawlins to raise those dummies above sea-level. Any leftover could be sold to Venice, Italy.

   Killing a few birds with one stone I say.

     “dummies in New Orleans” Where do you live, Blade? No chance of a natural disaster devastating your home? Or are the people of San Francisco, LA, Seattle and Memphis all “dummies” too. Or how about everyone in the flood plain of the Missouri River? Or those fools in Joplin, MO. Don’t they know better than to live in the path of tornados? You are an idiot.

       I dunno, lets see .. live BELOW sea level, NEXT to the sea, and expect to stay dry … yeah, sounds pretty intelligent to me.

       Hey Philly, Lighten up pal. The first sentence, shave that chunk off of North Carolina and straighten out the coast should be a humor tipoff.

       Yes me and my family are at risk from this storm and many other weather events, who isn’t. And I even have blood in Nawlins and I regularly call them dummies.

       Your problem is that big sharp stick lodged up your butt. It is very painful and has disconnected your humor bone. Laughter is one of man’s greatest tools for dealing with chaos. Unfortunately there is one peculiar sub-species of human that lacks the humor gene, the green lefty liberal bedwetter.

       I’m guessing you are a full-fledged member of this group. If you are not, prove me wrong by saying the following: ‘I’m sorry, after I removed that big sharp stick from my butt I felt better and realized that comment was actually pretty damn funny!’

       Of course if you are simply congenitally politically correct this will be impossible, and you should continue on your merry way taking a dump on every little comment that doesn’t meet your snooty approval.

   I like it that the NOAA is self destructing is reputation. Their word on global warming will have even less value now.

   Oh my, Mr Squidly. You ever been to New Orleans? Do you know anything of the city’s history, geography and topograhy? I think not. I’m happy to fill you in though, as Mr. Blade might say.

   I wrote a lot about this subject at WUWT on the 5th anniversary of Katrina. I forget what the name of the article was, but take a look at my posts there (and those of Liam W), and then let’s talk.

   Thanks for the kind words, Blade. What about my posts above, or anything I have ever written, gives you the idea I’m a leftist with no sense of humour? I will say this; your reading comprehension and interpretation skills; now that’s funny.

   That being said, I will admit to a thin skin when it comes to comments about rebuilding New Orleans. For alost six years now I’ve tried to engage people who want the city abandoned, and who think those of us who live here are “dummies”. Most of them, like my friend Mr. Squidly, know only what they’ve read in the MSM about the city. Like most stuff in the press, what’s written about NOLA is woeful on the truth scale. But, no apology, except for the “idiot” rermark. No need for name calling here.

     Okay then. I’m no idiot and you’re no lefty. Friends?
