It was never a hurricane.

[Toemeesleather]

I suspect this hurricane was caused by global warming.

Pretty sure you need multiple Cat 5s for that....er, at least that was the consensus back in aught 5.

11am update. Still not a hurricane. Weather media distraught, assures us its on the verge of becoming a hurricane at any moment.

CAT 1.......CAT 1......WoooooooHOOOOOOOOO!!111


Finally, now just wait for side by side comparisons of flooded New Orleans(poor people) and rich Republicans partying in Tampa.

If it doesn't get higher than a cat 1, the drunks in the French Quarter won't even notice when it hits. They might not even close the schools.

A Terrible Decision to Cancel Day One - Dennis Prager, The Corner - National Review

Has Katrina become to weather what Vietnam became to America fighting wars? Or are we just becoming a weaker society, wherein the Republican party, instead of fighting the nanny state, becomes one itself?

Here in drizzly Tampa, as an American and as a Republican, I am embarrassed.

Well, I guess we know who China is endorsing...

Report: Chris Christie Wouldn't Run for VP Because He Thought Romney Would Lose - Yahoo!News

The spineless, in the tank media speak for their no-issue incumbent....

On Sunday's NBC Nightly News, correspondent Chuck Todd raised the invoked former President Bush and Hurricane Katrina from seven years ago as potential embarrassments for the Romney campaign as Hurricane Isaac heads toward New Orleans the same week as the Republican National Convention.

During a discussion of the GOP convention being delayed from Monday because of the hurricane, Todd asserted that "the sort of shadow of Bush and Katrina does hang over this convention" and also worked in Todd Akin as he observed:

Well, look, there are folks with the Romney campaign who think, "Boy, Romney can't catch a break." Ever since he named Paul Ryan, got a little bit of momentum, after the Ryan pick, and then he's disrupted by two storms -- one, a political storm in Todd Akin which we just brought up, but now an actual storm. And when you think, as this storm moves to and closer to Louisiana, the specter, the sort of shadow of Bush and Katrina does hang over this convention. It is something organizers are concerned about.

"Well, I guess we know who China is endorsing..."

Not the people of China, just China's 9:1 media. Actually, in China it's probably more like 90:1...

We had a name for Cat 1 hurricanes in the midwest growing up...we called them rainy days...

NOLA wouldn't be worried about flooding anymore if Obama had just lowered the sea levels like he promised.

Chris Christie never said President Obama's name, not once.

[bluetick]

You wondered if he was ever going to say the name Romney, too.

[hedge]

Christie knows Romney has no shot. Hard to tell what the other robots who spoke last night believe, if you can even ascribe something like the nature of belief to their kind of robot. They're wind-up toys, going thru the motions...

Stoned, stupid and overconfident is no way to go through life.
