Well, duh, they gave out a web address for those who need help.

Too busy blocking non-union power help.

Well at least Obama walked through and had his ass kissed before heading out to Las Vegas.

By the way, where is Wide Load today?

Does anyone recall if SI was under a manditory evac before Sandy hit ? It sure falls under Zone A catagory. Did they ignore the order ?

#LetThemEatMarathons is really funny!

It’s Bush’s fault.

FEMA Fail

[Woodman]

It passed by a large majority (70-80%) but was blocked by the then Governor Mario. There is a home rule provision in the State Constitution that would have allowed the City to determine that the impact was too high on them to allow the change. In other words, Tax revenues are huge from Staten Island.

Interesting trivia is that we would have been the 22 largest city in the US at the time.

The reason the movement started in the first place was because the City Charter was rewritten by State Supreme Court mandate to have proportional representation. Under the original City Charter (Where the city of Richmond) which joined all 5 Burroughs gave equal representation for each one. Basically we got screwed from 20% say in governing the city to less than 5% say. Things have gone down hill ever since.

BARACK OBAMA DOESN’T LIKE WHITE PEOPLE.

Of course not; they are just a "bump in the road" to him.

I can see why I like Revolution and The Walking Dead so much.
I'm actually learning some valuable tips as to what to do when SHTF.

Staten island votes republican and the government is democrat. Does that answer their question?

[pepsionice]

Here’s the deal. When you have an event like this....you need to appoint a two-star Marine general to walk in...with 20k National Guard and active-duty personnel, and take charge for thirty days. You establish five or six tent cities and you have MPs who are armed and prepared to take down any looters in the ‘zone’. FEMA....is worthless. FEMA probably works ok if you had a tornado, or some flood....but in this case...they can’t do the job, period. Let the general report only to the President, and make this all simple.

It’s a shocking revelation...

Here everyone thought electricity came from pixy dust inside the wall outlet and powered all things laudable like cell phones, I-pods, Chevy Volts, etc..

Just wait til they here it comes from nuke and coal fired steam plants.

Interesting; thanks!

RE: OBAMA DOESN’T LIKE WHITE PEOPLE.

If Bush had Kanye West as his tormentor, who does Obama have?

[madison10]

Per CBS, Neroberg decided to postpone the marathon.

Here in Long Island, there has been a quiet movement to SECEDE from the State of New York to form the 51st state of the United States ( bringing Obama’s dream of 57 states closer to reality ).

It has quite some support, especially from the more well to do folks living here.

[kearnyirish2]

How things have changed; in the 1906 San Fran earthquake the troops were ordered to shoot looters...

I’ve seen a lot of editing of this vid of SI resident screaming on Schumer and begging for the O to do something.

I's coming for all of us sooner or later (see: Greece) Prepare.
