Remember a few months ago when hilariously titled fake ripoffs of bestsellers were all over Amazon's e-book store -- 35 Shades of Grey, or I am the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, that sort of thing?
Yeah, that was actually a pretty depressing read. Sometimes I like to pretend to myself that at least we've made a little bit of progress over the last forty or fifty years (aka, my adult lifetime). And then fucking science brings me down.
The &quot;perfect storm&quot; of 1991 was a plenty-big nor&#039;easter that swallowed poor unsuspecting Hurricane Grace, absorbing her energy like an alien sucking up her life force. When the resulting monster was done battering the northeast coastline, the <i>remnants</i> of the storm had enough mojo to generate a second full-blown hurricane, which came ashore in Nova Scotia a few days later. It went into the history books (NOT) as the <a href="http:\/\/www.ncdc.noaa.gov\/oa\/satellite\/satelliteseye\/hurricanes\/unnamed91\/unnamed91.html" target="_blank">hurricane without a name</a>, because officials didn&#039;t want to &quot;confuse&quot; the public.
This one is projected to be bigger. I do hope there are lots of denialists hunkered down in seaside cottages.
I favor forcing the fuckers to sit tight in their beachfront homes this week. Probably too late, though -- I&#039;m sure they&#039;ve bailed out even while denying what&#039;s happening.
I went skiing on the 4th of July, back in the &#039;70s, on Mt. Lassen, where there was still 20 feet of snow. It WAS normal, or at least not unusual, back then -- but I bet we won&#039;t be seeing much of that in the future.
I suspect they&#039;ve long since closed up the beachhouses and returned to their McMansions inland. We&#039;re long past Labor Day, that famous celebration of CEOs.
It is a mystery to many of us as to her purpose, other than to show us how much a person can complain. Stenography might have been a valid career move.

Now would be a good time for our East Coast wonketters to petition the Editorix for an emergency relocation drinky thingy in Austin!

Darn you. I was gonna say &quot;and his beard was perfect&quot;.
I didn&#039;t give this comment the respect it deserves when I first read it.
Globamal Warming.

You really can&#039;t grow corn in Iowa any more -- maybe they should ask the farmers if that&#039;s &quot;significant&quot;.

FOX&#039;s <i>take</i>? This bullshit is FOX&#039;s reference material.

Hoping that Hurricane Sandy goes all Biblical on Cato&#039;s ass.

Plagarism is apparently okay too, if the name on the covers is correct.
