The Chumpel has warned Louisiana over and over about their Cajun ways, and now he has prayed a hurricane down on them....... a Cat 2 was all he could manage, however.

Them damned gay people survived Katrina so God is going to try and get them again. Maybe his aim will be better this time.

Danni - Our entire nation is under judgment - not JUST the gays - I know you'd like to think it's ALL about you, but believe me - we've committed far worse sins against the Lord.

That's a relief, I thought it was just our fault.

Do you think this time the people who live below sea level will have enough sense to get the fuck out? I kind of doubt it, but I need to ask anyway.

Are the brain-dead morons who stayed last time after having a week's notice also planning to stay this time? After all, won't the government there there waiting to help them? Perhaps their idiot Republican Rep will ask Obama to pretty-please help, they must be real buddies, now.

#19 | Posted by Sniper

No, I use a Way-Back Machine that allows me to tap in on old news, as opposed to "current news." (The ongoing debates in the Roman Senate about whether or not to award Gaius Julius Caesar are positively riveting.) Boy, I sure wish I had your accessto the "current news."br />

#16 | Posted by danni

I remember watching CNN the night before the hurricane hit NOLA. They were showing long lines to get into the Dome and I remember yelling at the TV... NO! Run!! Run Away! Get in your car, get on a bus, hitch a ride! Don't go into the Dome.

That's because I know how NOLA operates. (or used to). It was (and still is) a cluster-f from Hell! It's run like a 3rd-World country.

Jindal has changed Louisiana so much for the better, even though NOLA is still in the dark ages. He hasn't gotten rid of all of the corruption, but the state agencies are running much better now.

I'm thinking of moving back!

What does that even mean?

Are you making fun of him? I feel sorry for you if you put yourself in the same group as the sad Liberals in Louisiana. There is a group of poor, under-educated friends of mine in Louisiana who never left because they lacked ambition. They hate Jindal and they don't even know why!!!

I ask them what he's done and they can't answer me, so they make shit up. Stories that you can't comfirm... Hearsay. A friend of a friend told that, one day Jindal walked into a daycare and demanded his child attend, acted arrogantly.

I always say, no really! What has Jindal done wrong.

I never get an answer.

Jindal, as governor of Louisina is literally kicking asses that have never been kicked for 60+ years (Democrat Corruption in Louisiana) and he is making quite a few enimies. I don't give a fuck what these spoiled children think of him!!!

Danni, I'm amazed why you don't like him. Do you live in Louisiana?

When a Lib in Louisiana gets his ass kicked, you feel it?

Really? like fucking WHAT has he changed? The only thing I see changing is the pencil neck riding around on State helicoptors going to religious fund raisers.

Hes done nothing like the rest of them and he has his own party here locally disgusted with his pathetic ass...

Rid of corruption? right?

Ida's been downgraded to a tropical storm but still nothing to mess around with, that's for sure. Best for all to stay ashore until she blows over.

Damnnnnn wished I lived close. I'd give anything to ride out a Hurricane. Used to chase tornadoes when I had a jalopy of a vehicle. This would rock.

Reminds me of the Blizzard of 1978 when I drove to Boston in my 1965 Rambler for the heck of it and the only other vehicles on the road were snowplows. You and me could have some fun times if you ever loosen up Larry
