Some moron just posted on the local news website, asking what the number for the local power company is. America's future is bleak.
lol that was great, good find. the dude is wearing safety goggles and these kids are running around in boxer shorts. lol
?????? At least, unlike certain bombs who see no wrong, I've castigated Fatboy for acting like Bloomy.
Watching the coverage from oz . Wife and i are totally bemused by the crap we are shown , cnn goes to ads after every 5 mins showing ads for there past coverage of libya and fox has those news extra segments about cooking and animals .... Sheesh . Is there a hurricane or is in the same studio of the moon landing
my "thoughtful" company has us working today "for our safety" when the fact of the matter is we'll be getting out as soon as the storm is predicted to hit us (2am). Truth be told they are having us work today instead of tomorrow because they're afraid we wont have power tomorrow night.
I've heard from a friend of mine that the water is already starting to come up to the dunes in S. Jersey and it's low tide and the hurricane is still a few hundred miles away.
Honestly it was probably a clueless old man who's going to die in a couple years. If anything, our future is brighter.
Ok..Im back..with no answers. Had to do a family thing. Havent checked anything. Heard on radio that the storm picked up speed which is a good thing. Long story short is that if the eye or whatever is left of it passes by during high tide peak near the city..major...major problem. But..heard the storm is increasing in speed? which was not supposed to happen till it passed the city. Let me see whats going on. Did my buddy hobbes take a Valium yet? Was worried about him before I left. Was going to start a rumor that Bloomberg has only one regret so far..not shutting down mass transportation on Thursday...but that might have pushed him to the brink.
