Grain barges sure wouldn't be in a drainage canal (17th St. Canal)and I doubt that they'd be on Lake Ponchartrain (the lake is only something like 15 feet deep and it doesn't seem to have any shipping channels leading into or out of it). It would be far more likely that they'd be on the Mississippi River, which is on the other side of NOLA from the places where the levees broke.
A quick web search reveals this particular rumor is circulating on the message boards associated with that fine unbiased news source, the Drudge Report.
My guess is that the Freepers are falling over themselves to explain away the obvious - their party screwed up big-time.
