“LAKE PROVIDENCE, La. – Army engineers prepared Saturday to slowly open the gates of an emergency spillway along the rising Mississippi River, diverting floodwaters from Baton Rouge and New Orleans, yet inundating homes and farms in parts of Louisiana’s populated Cajun country”

As a high-ranking official in the Nixon administration once said about the Jews:
“F*** ‘em, they don’t vote for us anyway”…..

(I believe that quote came to light during the Watergate investigation and I also believe that whoever said it made an accurate, if crude, observation)

Brazil politics suck, but its food paradise. Try one of the Brazillian restaurants, like Fogo da Chau.

First pronunciation. No one I’ve ever heard here uses the second.
