re: Still, it could have been much, much worse for New Orleans.

No doubt. A slight jog left instead of a slight jog right. A little different timing on the eye wall recycle. It must be the luck the the drunk and gluttonous?

re: In what must be a massive case of bad timing, the Bush administration has proposed cutting $71.2 million from the 2006 budget for the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The money, of course, would be used mainly for hurricane and flood prevention measures.

I wasn't aware of that. I'm not a big fan of the Army Corps of Engineers (personal, financial reasons) ... and I'm not sure New Orleans is a problem with a solution.
