You assume far too much. As regards sense of humour you don't possess one iota. Amazing how totally six little words can upset you - particularly as they have "no substance".
Courtesy flush please!
It's really too bad that Lawton Chiles' reaction to Hurricane Andrew cost the first President Bush Florida's electoral votes in 1992...oh, wait..it didn't!
So then explain yourself please...or forever be a tool.
I'd look for new "friends."
See how much crap is spewed on the tube by those lying SOB aka pressWHORES?!! I heard a report yesterday that the last hurricane with a category 3 or 4 with winds of over 145 to 165 was closed to a 100 years ago! This is why I am so skeptical of all the mediaWHORES! Sorry for the misinformation regarding the time line of the last powerful hurricane that devastated Florida. I should know better...I have a better chance of getting reliable info from google than from the mediaWHORES!
I wouldn't let this worry me. Lots of people will gripe until they get the federal aid they need. People going around and blaming Bush for a hurricane probably weren't going to vote for him in the first place. Remember, a Cat 4 storm is a hugely traumatic event.
Be Seeing You,

Its hard to make friends with people with little core values. You can't develop much trust. Then you have question their motives.
I had flipped the channels and heard Jeb Bush anguishing over the mess down there.
He said he was going to make sure everyone was taken care of.
I though I heard the cnn reporter say, "Do you think they believe you"?
I came out of my closet and stared at the TV. Did I mis-hear that?
WE SHOULD ALL expect the cable newsies and the Alphabets to spin this that "Bush should have directed his waether people....". I heard one broad (and I use the term in the Sinatrian sense) on ABC radio this morning say "They didn't tell us it was going to hit Polk county". Anyone that clueless, senseless and victimised is not going to listen to reason or common sense.
"No matter how cynical you get, you can't keep up."
Anybody know who said this?
I didn't know myself, but Google says Lily Tomlin. Sounds like her. I may not agree with much of her public political posturing, but she is a very sharp observer.
Nope...you did not mis-hear that..he asked him twice because I think even Jeb did a double take on it as well.
Hmmmmm...wouldn't this create jobs instead?
Haven't you ever heard of the broken window effect ? In short, it's a double loss.
I quote Frederic Bastiat:
"It's an ill wind that blows nobody some good. Such accidents keep industry going. Everybody has to make a living. What would become of the glaziers if no one ever broke a window?"
1.6
Now, this formula of condolence contains a whole theory that it is a good idea for us to expose, flagrante delicto, in this very simple case, since it is exactly the same as that which, unfortunately, underlies most of our economic institutions.
1.7
Suppose that it will cost six francs to repair the damage. If you mean that the accident gives six francs' worth of encouragement to the aforesaid industry, I agree. I do not contest it in any way; your reasoning is correct. The glazier will come, do his job, receive six francs, congratulate himself, and bless in his heart the careless child. That is what is seen.
1.8
But if, by way of deduction, you conclude, as happens only too often, that it is good to break windows, that it helps to circulate money, that it results in encouraging industry in general, I am obliged to cry out: That will never do! Your theory stops at what is seen. It does not take account of what is not seen.
1.9
It is not seen that, since our citizen has spent six francs for one thing, he will not be able to spend them for another. It is not seen that if he had not had a windowpane to replace, he would have replaced, for example, his worn-out shoes or added another book to his library. In brief, he would have put his six francs to some use or other for which he will not now have them.
What can I say?
I spend half the year with dark chestnut brown hair, and the other half of the year with crimson red hair.
I take it as an incentive to stay out of the sun.
Never know when I may start molting..
I believe almost nothing "interpreted" or "explained" on television, even on Fox. I consider myself better educated and better informed than 99% of the television reporters and 80% of the newspaper guys. Most are stupid, lazy, and maliciously motivated.
I am absolutely not going to listen to spin about a hurricane without writing and calling all news outlets and their sponsors. Period.
Charley looked deep into himself for his inner truth, found out he was gay, and VEERED.
Dems don't have talking points, those jackasses have prating points.
