Center of mass.

That's probably why they wear their pants pulled down so low, to throw off the policeman's "center of mass" calculation.

That would put him at the top of the list for 2008 I would imagine!

You can see the jog that saved the city of New Orleans from destruction.

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float-vis-loop.html

That just saved us billions of dollars and countless lives, not to mention irreplaceable historic sites.

From: http://www.oilvoice.com/GoM_Contracts_Aim_to_Help_Fill_Strategic_Petroleum_Reserve_/847.htm

These contracts demonstrate MMS's continuing commitment to maximize taxpayer assets, improve government efficiencies and enhance our nation's energy security by filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve," said MMS Director Johnnie Burton. With these latest contracts, MMS will take its oil royalties in kind (oil), rather than in value (cash), from offshore federal lease operators and deliver it to onshore oil market centers where DOE will take custody of the oil. DOE, in turn, will exchange the RIK oil for oil of suitable quality that can be delivered to SPR storage sites located in Texas and Louisiana.

Hummm... Heck of a deal! Date is Friday, August 15, 2003, and that makes it a good deal under W's watch...

"I'm afraid the whole concept of building a major city below sea level is tragically flawed."

Uh, it warn't "below sea level" when it was started. The current depth is the result of several centuries of subsidence , silt deposition, and a number of other factors.

TD 13 is nothing anymore. National Hurricane Center issued its last update for it this morning, unless is reorganizes. They had expected at least a TS out of it, but it has quickly fallen apart. Thank God, though it likely would have only ended up a shippers problem in the north Atlantic anyway.

It sounds really, really bad in Gulfport, but thankfully the storm did not re-strengthen prior to landfall.
