INDEPENDENCE DAY, July 4, 2010.



Old Glory. Long may she wave.

TAKING THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE TOO FAR: “[T]he U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reject[ed] a proposal by [Louisana’s] Jefferson Parish to build a series of rock dikes to protect the ecologically important Barataria Bay.... The Corps found that the dike plan was incomplete, lacking a designated agency to remove the barriers, a restoration plan for environmental damage and data to measure any such damage."

The mind reels at such boneheaded stupidity. Perhaps the Obama administration would get a clue if it were immediately moved to the Louisana marshes and housed in FEMA trailers – but I doubt it.
