Think the Mullahs will declare this as god's punishment like they do all of our hurricanes?

Douche bags

So do we blame this one on the terrorists, or global warming climate change?

FTA:

"I don't know if you can really attribute any of the gain to the cyclone," he said.

...or to anything else, for that matter.

$0.37 a gallon is what you get when you don't have to ship the oil over seas, line Bush family pockets and then meet emission standards of the US.

31 gallons = 1 barrel. $11.47 doesn't even come close to the current price of just the crude.

H31N0US 2007-06-05 02:38:38 PM - Brownie? I'm afraid the evacuation order was the responsibility of one Mayor Nagin.

Check out the weather underground tropical blog for a pretty interesting and frightening analysis of this mess:

If they are right, this will be big headlines by the end of the week.

Subsidies, my man. Venezuela does it too ($0.10/gal in Caracas). The rulers of these countries do this because it keeps the plebes quiet, keeps things running smoothly.

So everytime you fill up, you're not only buying gas for yourself, but for some Mahmoud or Enrique somewhere else in the world. Wonderful, innit?

1. Go and fill up your cars NOW. Especially the vehicle you want to evacuate with.

2. Get your supplies sorted NOW. Drinking water, food, clean clothing, things that make light, firearms, etc.

3. Put plywood over the windows NOW.

4. If they say the hurricane is going to hit, LEAVE. Or stay. But don't clog the farking roads because you couldn't make a decision.

Is there an AlJazeera weather channel? Do they stand in the water commenting on the stupid people surfing?

KamikazeCraig, your link took me to a blank page. Perhaps this is the link you were trying to link to. Scary stuff indeed.

Imagine that you live directly on the Gulf, but in a place where it hardly ever rains, and where a hurricane has never hit, for at least a generation -- for more than sixty years. Your community and many like yours are situated not only directly on the water, but near or in large dry riverbeds on the coastal plain, which is a narrow strip of sandy shoreline that is the dropoff for the three-thousand-foot mountain range behind it. Even many of the roads up into the mountains are in these dry riverbeds, which course through deep canyons as they rise into the heights. You don't have any idea what it might mean to experience winds of over 100 miles per hour, whipping up sand, and torrential rain against these mountains that can turn the riverbeds into conduits for dangerous flash floods. And you don't have any idea what storm surge is, and can't conceive of wind-driven high waves that could break against the shoreline and leave nothing behind.

"It's an excuse, as opposed to a reason, for the rise in prices."

At least he is honest.

godxman,

Doh, you're right. It's actually 42 gallons per barrel.

Freedog: George Bush and his Hurricane/Cyclone machine strike again.

Not Bush this time.

Falwell got to talking to the big man and told him to lob some hurricanes toward the middle east. This way the United States of Jesus (all the gulf coast red states) can get a little break and focus on cleansing the country of gays and abortion doctors.

Hey idiot. How far from Iran is Iraq? Who's going to be part of the humanitarian aid if this storm hits? How many fatalities are there going to be? Why do you hate our troops?
