What about the giant snakes in the Everglades? They're eating alligators, so watch your step.

I have historical collateral ancestral ties to Missoula. I was even there a couple times as a kid. But I'm pretty sure there is no branch left; they all said "fuck it" and moved to San Francisco 70 or 80 years ago.

Lemme know when you're doing it, and I'll drink one with you (give or take latency).

Kind of hot. Unbelievably humid. Palmetto bugs. In many areas: old crackers.

OTOH, warm ocean, and some pretty beautiful beaches. And the Keys.

Ah, Rob Fucking Ford. To be fair, I assume there were emergency management folks actually attending to the details. You don't really want your mayor trying to micromanage disaster relief.

But one of the things you do expect from elected executives, at whatever level, is some public relations effort. Nobody knows who the emergency manager is. They want to hear from someone they recognize.

Well, considering we just last month saw a real mayor do his job in Calgary when that city flooded, Ford looks even more of an asshole in comparison.

You know what? Fuck you guys.

I am throwing my own Wonkette Drinky thing here in Missoula, for myself, by myself.

OT, but Toronto's lovable scamp of a mayor, Rob Ford, spent the torrential storm with the worst flooding in history, with widespread power outages, <a href="http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.ca\/2013\/07\/09\/toronto-flood-rob-ford-twitter_n_3568245.html\?utm_hp_ref=canada" target="_blank">sitting in his SUV in his driveway with the motor running</a>, and then went and helped his mom with her flooded basement.

You should really do a drinky thing in Toronto, Trix.
