Where are the rich when the leeves break?

Posted by on April 4 at 14:51 PM

The day after the levees broke in New Orleans, Louisana.

Today when the levees broke in Merced, California.

I was going to suggest LaCôte d'Azur, or perhaps Zermatt, depending on the season.

Why is that Death's head-looking guy hanging around every major disaster in the U.S.? Creepy!

Sorry, missing your point here. You're saying that...

The rich like to fly above levees when they break?

or

The rich should live or hang around near the levees so they can be there when they break?

or

The rich should not look at or understand the damage caused when the levees break?

Apparently the rich like to watch levees break.

Stupid, stupid rich!

I hope the joke here isn't implying that Merced, CA, is rich. In Washington terms, it's Yakima, only smaller.

The rich guys are in the plane, not in the flooded ground below. New Orleans isn't rich, either.

papson jones: haha funny post! I was wondering what the hell point he was trying to make, too. I thought maybe a teenager had hacked the Slog and posted that. I guess not though, it was Charles Mudede (?). But if it weren't for that kind of laughably simplistic political analysis, it wouldn't be the Stranger.

So what? Are we supposed to assume that Ahnold is a better leader than Bush because he's listening to someone? Or are we supposed to presume that our leaders should be wading in the water, rather than getting a full scope of things?

Of all the pictures showing Bush as a buffoon, this one is my fave - especially if subtitled, "I can see my house from here".

DO we really need a picture to show us that W is a BUFFOON?????

I can see it in this picture, Chertoff TOTALLY looks like John Waters + Skeletor.

The obvious answer to the original question is of course, "high and dry". The emphasis in the captions, however was on response time... so simple, yet so confusing.

My big question is why is Ahnold surveying damage with John Waters?
