To mark the day that the gov't decided to get off it's ass and start to think about doing something about New Orleans.

Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" seemed apropos.

edit: To warn about graphic pictures below

If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break,

If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break,

When the levee breaks Ill have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,

Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,

Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don’t it make you feel bad

When you’re tryin to find your way home,

You don’t know which way to go?

If you’re goin down south

They got no work to do,

If you don’t know about Chicago.

Cryin wont help you, prayin wont do you no good,

Now, cryin wont help you, prayin wont do you no good,

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,

All last night sat on the levee and moaned,

Thinkin bout me baby and my happy home.

Going, goin to Chicago,Goin to Chicago,

Sorry but I cant take you.

Going down, going down now, going down.
