Put It Right Next to the Brownie Statue

CNN reports that $13 million in federal funds earmarked for post-Katrina flood control will go to build a (presumably flood-controlling) museum. Its mission? "Highlighting the achievements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers."

Video, in which a project manager explains that "We do what Congress tells us," here.

You guys sure this isn't some kinda The Onion-esque joke? It sounds just like an Onion headline:

Congress Appropriates $13 million of Hurricane Katrina Rebuilding Funds for Museum honoring Army Corps of Engineers.

Some of the exhibits would be hilarious (or, sad). Marvel at the broken levees! Gaze in amazement at actual footage of an entire American city sinking underwater as the Corps' barriers fail!

Oh, just a personal note, I'm not donating any more money for Katrina victims. I gave at the I.R.S.

Done.

My wife, upon reading this article:

"It is so time to fire everyone who works for the government. Everyone."

I concur.
