The good news....I eat better when gas is cheap.
Just what the genocidal maniacs and PP need for distraction.
Hillary “THE GREAT PUMPKIN” needs it too.

The Caribbean is currently cooler and dryer than normal with plenty of wind shear thanks to El Nino.
Danny is going to have a tough time strengthening, you’ll notice the 5th day it downgrades to a tropical storm.
Blanco was crying and Nagin was lying........................

No doubt Geraldo is shopping for the latest Hurricane-fashions.
How many hundreds of people are employed by the NWS to sit at their desks and wait for a storm to form, no matter how minuscule the chances that they will be a threat to our coasts? Our well-equiped television weather stations can do the same thing with private money, not money from the federal government.
Case in point: For decades, the TV weathermen in Oklahoma City have been the best at warning viewers of approaching tornadoes, much harder than slow-moving hurricanes. The NWS, realizing this, decided to put the government’s weather center in Norman, 25 miles south of OKC, so they could get in on the action and cash their taxpayer-funded paychecks. They are totally redundant and a waste of money the US Treasury could use.
Heh. I think our work here is done.
Miss it, Noonan!
From their website:
Organization
The headquarters of the National Weather Service is located in Silver Spring, Maryland, with regional headquarters located in Kansas City, Missouri; Bohemia, New York; Fort Worth, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; Anchorage, Alaska; and Honolulu, Hawaii. With some 5,000 employees in 122 weather forecast offices, 13 river forecast centers, 9 national centers, and other support offices around the country, NWS provides a national infrastructure to gather and process data worldwide. Each year, NWS collects some 76 billion observations and issues approximately 1.5 million forecasts and 50,000 warnings.
I’m sure the Warmers will be out in force telling us this hurricane is a direct result of AGW. We’ve had a reduction in these storms over the past several years, but facts DO NOT matter to them.
Obama and the rest of these nuts have an agenda that includes destroying our coal industry, and having us live like serfs. They need to push this myth, by any means, at all costs.
I loathe Warmers!
Not that I want Danny to hit Puerto Rico (lot’s of family, friends and colleagues there), but they really need the rain. There has been a huge water drought there for most of the last 18 months. This will be a blessing if it passes by as a TS or a light Hurricane without causing much damage. Also, if there is major damage, the sympathy volume will be so high that the Republicans in congress will feel like they have to act and provide PR a financial bailout on top of hurricane relief. The economic problems in PR are systemic and need to be restructured not bailed out.
LOL!
Well done, both of you.
You’re not being the ball...
Will the hurricane expect more respect tomorrow?
“I’ll take it!”
Of course! We’ll still respect you in the morning!.........................
Hurricane Danny?
Nobody is going to be scared of that. They need to start giving these things fearsome names if they want people to take them seriously. How about a Hurricane Vader? Hurricane Adolf? Hurricane Mao? People would get the hell out of the way...
