Twice in federal elections. Thete is actually mo way to stop them from DC oing so as long as the snowbirds fly north when the weather warms.

Why did the car insurance go up so much? I figured because of hurricanes that homeowners insurance went up, but auto?

Pardon my grammar. Typed and didn’t re-read.

He was getting those lines from events in the news. It didn’t mean he supported liberal policies in handling it. It could have been a nod to Goetz.


I highly doubt it. He used his name alongside “AIDS” and “Crack”, which last time I checked were bad things. But he did give Mr. Goetz a type of immortality in a way.

why don’t libs stay in the sorry @zz states/cities they’ve created....and, fix them, rather than move to red states, to dirty up the new place???

Some of the slightly less obtuse libs eventually figure out that their idea of “fixing things” doesn’t seem to help. I’m not saying they truly realize that they’re wrong and decide to change their ways, but they at least detect the stench of something not quite right and desire to get away from it.

Of course, as you mention, that usually means that they move to a less foolish place and just destroy it with the same old insanity. They’re like people who fancy themselves as “firefighters”, but keep trying to use a blowtorch and gasoline to put out the fires. Sure, even they will run from the heat once it gets intense enough, but they’ll soon be back to their arsonist ways.

Seen the lights go out on Broadway I saw the Empire State laid low...There are not many who remember They say a handful still survive To tell the world about The way the lights went out And keep the memory alive

I like your version. Reminds me of that Coldplay song, Viva la Vida, about the demise of the traditional England (the mention of Jerusalem refers to a traditional English hymn, with lyrics by William Blake). Here's Coldplay's EOTWAWKI anthem:


Viva La Vida
by Coldplay

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing,
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Chorus:
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

[Repeat chorus]

The lights just went out on Broadway.

And the lamb lies down on Broadway...oh wait that was Peter Gabriel.

Dems have every intention of turning Free Florida into dystopian California. They are rebels without a clue.

As much as I used to like that song, I always found it funny. Nearly every single “Fire “ in that song was caused by Socialism, then a Socialist writes a song saying “What, we had nothing to do with this, these things just happened”

I’ll bet he voted Democrat and contributed to this mess. However I’ll stand corrected if I am wrong.

Autos that sit in water for a while are declared a total loss by Big Insurance. You get a check for it’s depreciated value. Then BI drys out the vehicle and sends it to a dry state auto auction where they get back a significant amount of the check they sent to you. BI may lose small money on autos but it’s not much. There is no real reason for the auto premium to rise dramatically.

Not sure why, but when I shopped other companies, the rates were even higher than mine. I’m 73 with no tickets or accidents EVER and an excellent credit rating. Interestingly, the insurance on my motorhome rose only 5%.
