Sunday Afternoon Update — Wilma
It is amazingly quiet here today. As of 4pm there is no wind, and while it has been overcast all day, we have yet to have even a drop of rain.

When one lives in Florida, the weather is often a topic of conversation. Either you tell friends further north how nice it is in Florida, or, you’re worried about an in-bound hurricane. Those posts all go here.
Wilma Update — Saturday
I thought I would provide an update on Hurricane Wilma based on the most recent NOAA information. How much impact there is on Tampa remains a bit uncertain. Not unusually, with about two days to go before landfall, the “cone of uncertainty” is still a bit large.

Well, this should come as no surprise to anyone. Pat Robertson is now suggesting that the recent rash of natural disasters could be a signal of end times. Its always amazed me that the return of Christ to begin his thousand year reign of love and heavan on earth would be heralded by the death and destruction of millions of innocent individuals.

Autumn has officially arrived. As usual it’s a little hard to tell here in Tampa. However, we got a couple of overcast rainy days this past week. That made it a little cooler, and made me think of Fall.
Read moreAlabama Senator Hank Erwin: Katrina was God's wrath
This idiot was on Scarborough Country making his point that Katrina was “the wrath of God.” I expect this sort of stupid crap from the Falwells, Dobson’s and Robertson’s…but this guy is an elected official, and more of his kind seem to get elected each cycle. That’s what is scary.

While Sen. John McCain has raised the idea of “charitable pork” — lawmakers giving up pet projects to help Hurricane Katrina victims — and Montana is considering giving up the $4 million it received in a federal bill for a downtown parking garage, Alaska Sen. Don Young is proud to remain a “little oinker.”
Read moreSummary Of Katrina Disaster
I thought I would make this post about Katrina, and try to move on to other things. It is a horrible disaster, and we all need to know what is going on, and understand how over government agencies are (or are not) responding to this disaster. That being said, I think there’s some fatigue to all the coverage.
Read moreThree Duke Students Get Into New Orleans and Rescue Some People, While Gov't Says It Couldn't Get In
A trio of Duke University sophomores say they drove to New Orleans late last week, posed as journalists to slip inside the hurricane-soaked city twice, and evacuated seven people who weren’t receiving help from authorities.
Read moreKatrina, Race, Incompetent Boobs, And The Koverup Begins
In my previous post on the lack of relief efforts by the federal government, I made it clear I don’t believe race had anything to do with the abysmal response to the tragedy. Thanks to Condi Rice for confirming that for me.
Read moreKatrina Victims To Blame for Their Problems…Of Course
Here is a report of your Federal Government’s response to Hurricane Katina and the flooding of New Orleans on Wednesday — two days into the crisis. No one in charge. How scary is that? The biggest disaster on our shores in a century, and our government’s leaders were AWOL. Our President’s deer-in-the-headlights reaction to the 9/11 attacks was no fluke. For all his tough talk, the man simply does not know what to do when things go really, really wrong.

If you keep up with some of the comments left on my blog, you will find that “Sadam Hussein” has been leaving comments on the blog (at least its who he claims to be). I guess they’re giving him computer access from his cell. He’s wondering why I haven’t been posting much lately.
