Part of me wants to say "good job federal government for getting it right this time, and being proactive.".

The other part says "would they be on top of the ball if this wasn't an election year?"

Will the people in its path pull their heads out of asses and leave when they are told to?

Georgie, you're doing a heck of a job.

I was pretty close to the 2pm Tuesday marker, but already high-tailing-it out. Not waiting; no work now anyway because the gulf rigs are shutting down, so why stick around for the evacucarnage.

As long as it doesn't catch the gulf stream I don't care.

eqtworld: This is why I am voting Obama, he promised fewer hurricanes

I bought my GOP Anti-Hurricane / Anti-gay Pebble of Luck so I should be good to go.

dahmers love zombie: Gustav isn't aiming at NOLA, he's aiming at the slackers that Katrina chased to Houston who are still there leeching off of the system:

Personally, I'd believe the GDFL. It is one of the most reliable in Gulf situations if I remember correctly. And the GDFL is still on NOLA.

Well, God certainly didn't come down on the side of the politico-religionists this time

There is no God, but he sure has a sense of humor and irony.

Of course I hope no one dies as a result of this storm and that property damage in minimal but you have to wonder what those conservative douche bags are thinking after praying for rain in Denver and now this happens. Oops.

I guess it could be expected post-Katrina, but I really think we are reacting too much too soon to hurricanes these days. The national Guard is in full force in New Orleans and the storm isn't even to Cuba yet. And maybe a Florida farker can help me out with this... since when does Florida declare state of emergency for a tropical storm? Seems like they used to call for readiness for tropical storms, almost like they used to breath a sigh of relief if it was only a T.S.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be ready for hurricanes... I just think that we're really over-reacting way ahead of time.

If we keep this shiat up, people will not evacuate when they actually really should.

Howard Finkelstein: That's what you conservative bastards get for praying for rain here in Denver.

hmmmm.....While Focus on the Family was praying for rain in Denver, I was praying to F.S.M. to spoil the RNC. Where is your invisible sky-wizard now?

Aren't you supposed to wait until after the storm?

You're using logic, reason, and common sense to approach the issue. This is an election year. Now stop acting like a terrorist and start panicking.

Is that retard still calling the shots?

Karma is a biatch

Thank goodness they have relocated the prisoners!

you have to focus on the cone of uncertainty. if you're in the cone you have to prepare.

The fact that a farking hurricane is a political issue is disgusting. Vomit, bile, burning putrid belching vats of wretch, disgusting.

It really is a sign to the GOP

poopalacarte: Shucks, and we had a good run of McCain/Palin greenlites huge reactionary, "hope this VP pick doesn't change" things, lib circle jerk going.

Jindal has Louisiana prepared this time. Has 700 or so buses lined up and already has all his executive orders and authorizations set.

It's really just a game of waiting to see who gets hit.

We here in Houston haven't been hit by a major hurricane since Alicia in '83. We're due for a storm to come in clean out our less-than-sturdy structures.

Which of the above listed communities are below sea level, surrounded by levees with outdated pumping systems, and leeching money to rebuild where they logically shouldn't?

It's not Internet Tough Guy syndrome, it's common farking sense. Plus, don't you have to go give a concert and then suck off Peyton Manning afterwards, Mr. Chesney?

Haven't booked a ticket in a while...

Darconix: Murder rates dropped to ridiculously low levels.

What bizarro world do you live in where the murder rate in New Orleans is ridiculously low?

I'd like to visit that parallel dimension, maybe move there.

Haha! sorry about that..

Banky_The_Hack: Which of the above listed communities are below sea level, surrounded by levees with outdated pumping systems

New Orleans is not completely below sea level. The pumping system is still pretty good.

Cinletharwi: What bizarro world do you live in where the murder rate in New Orleans is ridiculously low?

If you're not in the drug trade it's really not that bad for a large metro area.

of course chimpy numbnuts vetoed the bill that would have funded repairing the nola levees. heckuvva job there.

now he calls a state of emergency....i wonder how long it'll take for all the supplies to come pouring into Minnesota?

This pen is mightier:

Mrbogey: Cinletharwi: What bizarro world do you live in where the murder rate in New Orleans is ridiculously low?

If you're not in the drug trade it's really not that bad for a large metro area.

If you don't count the people who get murdered. The murder rate is really quite low.

If you compare the amount of deaths from Katrina to how many murders happened at the same time in NOLA the murder rate is quite low.

Sweet, I should work for the news or something.

It was ridiculously low when they had National Guard stationed there. Since they've been trying to regain their "chocolate city" status, not so much. Bus them out, crime goes down. Bus them back in, there it is again. I think New Orleans needs another direct hit, personally... Like the fist of an angry god that leaves the French Quarter and Garden District alone..

COME ON GUSTAV!

Ahh I do love me some compassionate conservatism. Come on killer, tell us what you're really thinking.

It's only temporary. =p

Gustav's up to a Category 3 now... let's see what happens when it clears Cuba and hits those warm Gulf waters.

This thing has the potential to get HUGE.
