TAMPA, FL—With Tropical Storm Isaac’s torrential rains battering the Gulf Coast of Florida, Republican National Convention organizers raced to build a protective levee out of local poor people Monday in order to prevent the Tampa Bay Times Forum from flooding….
In a further attempt to assuage concerns about safety, [RNC Chair] Priebus confirmed that crews had already secured the convention site against high winds and debris by nailing hundreds of illegal immigrants over the arena’s windows.

I was just thinking how funny it would be if it was Hurricane Paul which delayed the convention.

On the anniversary of Katrina, the New Orleans levees held just fine this time. That meets our expectations of the Army Corps of Engineers.
A small town’s 8 foot levee was overtopped.
Long term, we want as close to zero deaths from hurricane flooding as possible. This could mean restoring Louisiana’s natural land creation system with the Mississippi River moving megatons of silt into the delta. This could mean limiting sea level rise through a world carbon dioxide and methane treaty. This could mean higher levees, or this could mean simply evacuating unsustainable land.
