W's Disaster Gumbo

I love to cook, and having so much family from New Orleans, it's only natural that I picked up a few Cajun recipes. Turns out, W loves to cook Cajun food, too. I came across this recipe of his just the other day:

Disaster Gumbo, Neocon Style

Ingredients
1 hearty chunk federal funding
1 heaping serving of tax cuts
1 monster hurricane
nicely-aged levy
several bazillion tons of fetid water
The city of New Orleans.


Cut federal funding, mix with tax cuts until it debilitates the ability of federal agencies. Pour batch into Iraq. In a separate bowl, toss in monster hurricane. Break levy in several places so water can soak New Orleans until its soupy. Let sit under hot sun in fetid water. You'll know it's done when it tests positive for E. Coli.

Notes: this gumbo is hard work. To finish, you will stay the course. After all, you didn’t ask for this, but you are full of resolve.

If any one can find W's recipe for Gulf Coast Jambalaya, please send it to me. I hear it's similar to the gumbo, just use less water and leave out the levy.
