Nothing to 'enjoy' here.

I find it remarkable how, when GW Bush acted like a liberal, he got dissed. Now, when President Zero acts like a libertarian, he gets a free pass from the MSM. It's just political payback for KY being a red state, cling bitterly to their guns and Bibles.

Hey, 0bambi, what about all that Kentucky Fried Chicken?

Actually, it's TN, not KY.

And the irony of it is that during the Clinton/Gore administration, Al Gore used to send a plane down to Jackson on a regular basis to get BBQ pork shoulder for parties at the Naval Observatory.

So you're not all that far off.

I live in a soggy state but we generally don’t have any real flooding to deal with. However I see my house is listed as back in a flood prone area.

Government waste like that should be prosecuted. Democrats are insolent spoiled children.

I am ready for the whole freaking government - including the president and vice president - to telecommute from their state of origin from their own home. That will save billions.

Nothing to enjoy in the misery of others. But it is a window to show how bad it is 52 counties half the state has been effected. I’m going into Millington today to see what the damage was on the Navy base, there has been no coverage of that. Will take pictures if possible. 200 Navy housing units were damaged. Along with a good portion of Millington itself. 300+ residents in the Shady Oaks Mobile Home Court had 7-8 feet of water in their homes half were rentals half owners.

Lots more video and photos on this thread.

Opps! How could I confuse the Tennessee Valley with mountainous KY? Anyhow, I think they cling even more bitterly in Tennessee. God love ‘em!
