George Soros to buy New Orleans

New York (September 1, 2005) - The New York Times just reported a few minutes ago, that the billionaire George Soros has formed a giant financial consortium to buy the whole city of New Orleans from the US government. Unconfirmed information for the Department of Treasury indicated that Mr. Soros has offered 375,000,000,000 US dollars with only 5 % down payment. Mr. Soros said he was inspired by an idea first proposed by a Baton Rouge woodoo engineering consulting firm yesterday and planned to fill the New Orleans bowl with desalinized water to build a mega marina resort around the rim. This firm was asked to be the project's main consultant, with a compensation package close to 20 millions per year.
