    Yeah, good thing there's school, I planned to do the same if power was lost at my place... dart across the road to campus.
    Aww at the hotels being booked, and all that. How's your girl's situation, she alright? That'd be making the "best" of the situation, being together and having the storm hit lol.

    Repped you for the post. With the loss of life and property as well as the suffering I don't think it matters if you are from the south, mid-west, North-East. west, Europe, Africa etc...Let's have some compassion people and not try to one up each other on how tough we are.

    It sure would be nice for once if the more politically minded folks on the site would leave the divisive politics out of a thread. Especially one where the majority of other posters actually could care less about which self serving political party cares more or which is most evil......:smt012

    It will all be over soon..just close your eyes and feel all floaty like. Would you like some flute and harp music?

    Have you seen the white light? If so gentle one...follow it.

    Seriously...
    Some of the images look like the whole town was flattened. Wiped off the map.
    I hope that their fears about the future and their present needs can be both taken care of in a timely manner.

    Sending energy..

    Thank you. Both parties are self-serving pieces of shit who only care about the "little people" during election time. You don't see them kissing random babies at any other time. LOL.

    Politics is about reality. If the "government" is not supposed to invest into infrastructure, but when mother nature strikes it is politically expedient to spend money to care for the people, it shows a political disconnect. If the government invest in Education, Infrastructure etc, the rewards are tenfold later on.

    When the Goerge Bush was President he appointed a incapable person to head FEMA because that is how he regarded FEMA. Lives were lost in Katrina as a result of that.

    If I have a store business in Queens right now, I am waiting for the GOVERNMENT to clear up the infrastructure so that I can go ahead and make some profit. When President Obama was saying that we all need each other, and we cannot succeed alone, that is what he was talking about. The only thing the right wing edited was "you did not build....alone...or something like that". I wonder why Mitts is not using that line anymore? Maybe when faced with real life, the politics of empty words will look like just that, EMPTY WORDS.

    In all fairness to both pricks people don't line up in masse to have them kiss their random babies at non election time.

    I don't see the GOP as anything of the sort. But I certainly don't see them as evil (like you do), nor do I see the Dems as a party of angels who can do no wrong. More moderates would be nice on BOTH sides, thanks.

    And sorry no, I don't notice "only beautiful bi-partisan moments when Dems are in charge"..lol, are you serious? Please cite them.

    The current Republican tea party led congress has been the most obstructionist ever. Trying to say that it has always been like this is being disingenuous.

    We could always start with obscenely offensive quotes by both sides.. and keep a tally..

    Ann Romney on mothers who have no choice to work or not work...and also don't get 77,000 dollar tax breaks on their horses.

    Mrs. Romney said she likes to see what women are up to on the campaign trail, asking “Why are you here? What made you come out of your house today to this event? And what do you think about the future?”

    Not all women have the luxury of staying at home, she conceded: “I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people too. And sometimes life isn’t easy for any of us.”

    If you’re one those people, you can wrap yourself in Ann Romney love while you ponder why her horse gets a $77,000 tax credit when your kid gets $1,000.

    Again Romney...
    You people. You’re always asking annoying questions and daring to insinuate that there’s something wrong with all those Romney tax havens and offshore accounts.



    "It doesn't look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary dietary advice. And then we hear that she's out eating ribs at 1500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat ... No, I'm trying to say that our first lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the
    cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you." –Rush Limbaugh, Feb. 21, 2011

    “Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting. There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how [they] can skewer a person,” said Lane. “I do not see that in men. The whole time I worked, I'd much rather have a male boss than a female boss. Double-minded, you never can trust them.”

    For your viewing pleasure...of course.

    “A black kid asks his mom, ‘Mama, what’s a democracy?’
    “‘Well, son, that be when white folks work every day so us po’ folks can get all our benefits.’

    “‘But mama, don’t the white folk get mad about that?’

    “‘They sho do, son. They sho do. And that’s called racism.’”
    A "joke" told at a tea party rally...ha ha ha ha...oh, wait, that's not funny. That's disgusting.

    And now for those douche bags...the dems

    Strongly and unequivocally support Roe v. Wade

    Invest in stem cell and other medical research

    Support right to choose even if mother cannot pay

    Choice is a fundamental, constitutional right
    Thats obviously regarding womens rights. So close to the legitimate rape snafu that I *almost* can't tell which one is which. LOL just kidding.
    I'm not THAT stupid.


    A grand total of eight Republicans out of 219 voted in favor.
    I think only 1? out of all the dems voted no on that?
    Thats the ledbetter act.

    The Democratic Party made history at its national convention Tuesday when it became the first major American political party to endorse marriage equality in its platform, drawing a sharp contrast with the Republican Party’s official stance on the issue.
    Marriage equality...you know the thing where it's one man and one woman..even thought Mittens Romney had like 12 grandmothers or something..
    I think obama had the traditional 4?

    Anyway..yeah...so....
    There ya go.

    Wasn't it a Dem Congress for 2 full years?

    Nope.
    That's a right talking point.

    And just so you know I AM NOt talking out my ass..here's the actually facts...not the daily vomit from Hannity and gang..

    Apparently everyone forgot the President needed 60 votes in the Senate to pass legislation. I heard a Latino news reporter say they felt if the President could pass healthcare, he could have passed immigration reform. Newsflash!! The healthcare bill was passed using "reconciliation", because there were not 60 Democrats in the Senate.

    Apparently no one remembers that Scott Brown was sworn into office in February of 2010. At that time, the President had only been in office for ONE year. Most folks remember that the election of Scott Brown reduced the number of Democratic senators to 59. So the President could not have possibly had Congressional control for two years.

    The timeline..

    So at the beginning of his Presidency, Democrats had 57 elected senators…55 Democrats and 2 Independents.

    April 28, 2009 news outlets issued the following report:

    Republican Sen. Arlen Specter has switched parties, which would give Democrats a filibuster-proof 60 seats. You do remember the filibuster? The Republicans employed it more than in any time in history for the express purpose of stalling legislation.


    May 15, 2009 Senator Robert Byrd was admitted to the hospital reducing the number of sitting Senators to 55 Democratic members and 2 Independents. 57

    July 7, 2009 Al Franken (D) was sworn in after the election dispute over the Minnesota seat was decided in his favor. Senator Kennedy continued to recuperate at his home in Massachusetts and was unable to cast any more votes; Senator Byrd was still in the hospital. The Senate had 56 sitting Democratic members and 2 Independents. 58

    July 21, 2009 Senator Byrd returned to the Senate making the count 59 seats. No Senator Kennedy

    The Kennedy seat was vacant from August 25 - September 24 when Paul G. Kirk was appointed to occupy his seat until the completion of a special election. The swearing-in of Kirk gave the Democrats a 60-seat majority.

    Democrats had a 60 seat majority from September 24, 2009 thru February 4, 2010. 4 months; not 2 years!!
