Oh, please. This is obviously the work of an evil genius scientist, bent on taking over America. First, he seeds a storm in the Atlantic, then when it looks like it's headed for Florida, he redirects it towards America's most hurricane-threatened city, New Orleans. Just when it seems as if NO might be okay, he breaks the levees. Very clever, our evil scientist, since the levees were only designed to survive a category 3 hurricane. Disaster.
Why is he doing this? To make George Bush (and by extention, all Republicans) look bad. With the next disaster he will take out the Democrats. Leaving...(cue dramatic music)...the Libertarians. Yes my friends, this is obviously the work of DARTH LIBERTARIAN!!!!
With apologies to real-life Libertarians.
