Oh goody, what's that crazy old Ron Paul yammering on about this time? Someone told him there's a hurricane-a-comin' and he just rolled his eyes thinking about how FEMA is going to come in and just plain old ruin everybody's fun. Back in Ron Paul's day
I'm here in the East Village and so far just rain. A lot of nice places to eat are open as are our corner stores which had plenty of everything as of 7PM. I've got my eye on One World Trade building half finished with a huge crane still popped up top shrouded in gloomy clouds. I walk my Iggy around 11 or 12. I'll report back if it's report worthy.
SIWW: And who rebuilt the island of Galveston? The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
I believe today it is approximately TEN FEET higher than it was in 1900. Barriar islands are temporary - they are not permanent additions to the geological landscape (granting "permanent" is simply picking your timeline - nothing lasts forever).
The main reason Galveston hasn't been wiped out again and again is the Federal government turned it into a man-made island. Just who paid for that - the dead citizens of Galveston?
What do you expect of a district that names their streets after letters of the alphabet, and then, when they run out of letters, they name them "A 1/2" "B 1/2" etc.
Zero in my building.

Lovely.
All of them Katie, every last one we can hunt down.
Hurricane Mitch which my parents lived through now has almost 20k people confirmed dead, from Wikipedia:
" As of 2008, the official death toll from Mitch was placed at 19,325 "
A book with a big error in the science, so maybe the repubs will like it.
It&#039;s called a <i>fee</i> on Wall Street.
Wasn&#039;t the December 1944 hurricane the &quot;Caine Mutiny&quot; blow?

I love a happy ending.
Ron Paul is Grandpa Simpson?
Imagine there is no Texas. It&#039;s easy if you try....
Nice rant Ms Blues.

Tell ms blacki-leaks to keep it quiet, don&#039;t want the man to mess it up. Any more leaks and she&#039;s off the listserv!
But yeah, Sunday is gonna suck. I predict 2 officer involved shootings, minimum.
Brilliant.
Ever get the feeling the people of Gavleston just keep electing Ron Paul just to get him the hell out of town for 2 years at a time?
