In the “Can’t Do Anything Right” category, the New Orleans public school system was instructed to halt an internet auction of one of the infamous flooded school busses when it was discovered that the state School Board’s authorization for the auction did not include the internet variety.The State board’s lawyer discovered that although the board authorized an “auctioneer” to handle the sale, the system is bound by the state’s definition of that term, which does not include Internet auction sites.

Bids had reached $6,700 for the soggy scrap metal, but were thrown out as re-authorization is sought.
