1. Clever and True
Bet you could draw comparisons to other events, like stolen elections, and slandering the opposition.

6. 1927.
The city of New Orleans was devasted by a hurricane. President Hoover did nothing to assist them, just the same way Bush did nothing for those victims of Katrina. I believe Katrina is the sixth time in the history of New Orleans that the city was flooded due to hurricane-induced levee breaches, but I'm not certain about that. I know the first one was three years after the city was founded. Huey Long, "the Kingfish," pointed out that this country is run by businessmen and Wall Street has no concern for the lives of New Orleans residents. He was elected governor for his populist policies. He was the largest source of programs for FDR's New Deal.

12. The flood of 1927 was a river flood, not a hurricane
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1927_Mississippi_flood

it affected much of Louisiana as well as other states along the lower Mississippi. In fact, a levee was dynamited downstream from N.O., needlessly as it turned out, to protect the city; this is doubtless the source of persistent rumors about levees being blown up to sacrifice poor, black areas to protect wealthier white ones.

Earworm: Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927" ("They're tryin' to wash us away...").
