Why was the Senate’s #SandyAid bill larded up with unrelated pork?

Posted by: ST on January 2, 2013 at 3:49 pm » 7 Comments

And furthermore, why won’t the bleeping media focus more attention on this fact? I guess it’s more important for the Democrats and their colleagues in the MSM to note the ridiculous, self-serving “bipartisan outrage” over the fact that the House didn’t take up the bill yesterday “in a stunning reversal” as previously anticipated. And also [...]

 

Definitive proof that Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a freaking idiot (UPDATED)

Posted by: ST on November 2, 2012 at 9:46 am » 5 Comments

There have been plenty of past examples, of course, but this one takes the cake: —- Bloomberg Diverts Food, Generators from Devastated Staten Island to NYC Marathon: Fresh off his “climate disruption”-driven endorsement of President Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has chosen to divert critical food supplies and power generators from desperate residents of [...]

 

The mindless, predictable politicization of Hurricane #Sandy

Posted by: ST on October 31, 2012 at 11:58 am » 7 Comments

Well said, Wall Street Journal: We know liberals are worried that President Obama might lose next week, but are they so panicky that they want to suggest even before the storm has passed that Mitt Romney and Republicans are against disaster relief? Apparently so. It’s an especially low-rent tactic, akin to blaming the tea party [...]

 

Could next week’s election be postponed due to #Sandy?

Posted by: ST on October 30, 2012 at 7:58 pm » 3 Comments

That’s a question I’ve heard and read quite a bit in the aftermath of the widespread, massive devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. The answer is: Technically with Congressional approval it could happen, but it’s not likely: WASHINGTON (AP) — Could superstorm Sandy postpone the presidential election? The question has come up now because it could take [...]

Getting ready to head out and try to have a productive day for a change, unlike my last several.

Hurricane Irene “just wind and rain”? I don’t think so.

Posted by: ST on August 28, 2011 at 12:17 pm » 12 Comments

I think the pictures tell the story.  More here. Been reading Tweets all morning from people up North who are whining about the inconvenience of having to prepare/change their daily routine/evacuate.  Makes my blood boil.  After Katrina, didn’t people learn “better safe than sorry”? Astonishing to me that there are people who are actually upset because they [...]

Hey y’all. Sorry I’ve not blogged much in the last couple of days. My schedule has been crazy. I come home some days from work and all I want to do is collapse on the couch and not do anything else. Not only that, but I’ve had a lot on my mind lately as my [...]

Yes, yes – we’re ok here in North Carolina, but that doesn’t mean some  high rise buildings in the area didn’t shake during the Mineral, VA 5.8 earthquake that happened earlier today.  In Concord, where I was at the time, I didn’t feel anything but my sister works at a high rise in uptown Charlotte [...]
