US Officials Seek Dutch Advice For New Orleans


(Amsterdam, Netherlands) Politicians from the state of Louisiana, which was devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, began a tour of the Netherlands on Tuesday to learn from the experience of the Dutch.

"One of the things I noticed straight off is that we need some of those Dutch kids with the dike-plugging fingers," delegation spokesman Adam Sharp told reporters late on Monday. "If we'd have had some of those dike-pluggers, maybe the Ninth Ward never would have been flooded."

The U.S. delegation, led by Senator Mary Landrieu, will tour Dutch flood control systems and study the country's water management plans to try to take home some ideas from the Dutch.

"Whoa - this hashish went straight to my head," said Landrieu, steadying herself after a massive bong hit. "What the fuck was I saying? Oh yeah, like, floods and stuff."

At least 1,300 people in Louisiana and Mississippi were killed in the storm, while tens of thousands of buildings were destroyed. Landrieu said that the US government is committed to rebuilding the levee-control system that protects New Orleans.

"Dikes ...heh heh... that's a funny word," mused Landrieu. "Yeah, I want to spend some time checking out the dikes in New Orleans. What, exactly, IS this shit, anyways?"
