OK the article doesn't say that, just that Aaron Brooks is demoted to benchwarmer. This officially means the Saints have given up on the season. Guess they're trying to become a late entrant into the Reggie Bush Sweepstakes.
Well, I've only been calling the flooding in New Orleans a man-made disaster since September 2 or so. About time someone picked up on that fact.
This needs to be publicized, announced to the world that what happened to New Orleans was a failure of engineering, that the area can be protected with proper funding and design... things most people (in the city and around the country) thought we had.
The more I hear that levees were not built to specs and that, had they been, it would basically be life as normal in most of New Orleans, the more hope I have for the long-term rebuilding of the city.
What we need (and this is coming from a pretty hardcore small-government conservative) is a massive public works project to fix the levees to their proper level of protection. You could spend 10-15 years doing this with a few hundred workers, or 2-3 years with thousands of workers. I'll take the latter.
Male Best Friend You scored 46 despair, 50 relationship potential, 67 feelings, and 100 patience
You're always there, you're nice, you're the shoulder to cry on, you get along just fine, why won't she/he date you? you're the "male best friend"
DragonflyBlade21: A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.
