The toxic brew of chemicals and human waste in the New Orleans floodwaters will have to be pumped into the Mississippi River or Lake Pontchartrain, raising the specter of an environmental disaster on the heels of Hurricane Katrina, experts say.

1. Nice pics - especially of the pres and first cow dancing on the

Seal of the President.

For five years he's been shitting on it. At least dancing with your wife gives it a bit of respect back.

[Stephanie]

2. I don't see how.

The Little Prince and his Consort dance on the grave of this great democracy in that picture. We'll never have our country back the way it was. They have destroyed so much that we treasure.

5. I agree - just saying dancing on it is better than dumping on it.

And I agree the damage is done and will take generations to fix - if ever.

This used to be a good country to live in, hopefully the rest of the country will wake up and realize what they have allowed to happen.
