Just got back from getting my car - it was in the municipal garage. some real close calls - a tree fell at the entrance to the garage and some guy's car got crushed less than a block away from my mom's house. trees down all over the place. i'll put pics in parts' pic thread.

Hopefully power & internet are restored soon. Glad everyone is otherwise okay though.

Oh shit, are the mainstream media just having a field day with this or what? :zoinks:

Fortunately there is this thing called math that can be used to support or refute claims of improper media coverage.

What a pleasure for the rest of us!!! :P
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

 I shudder to recall!  I was without electricity for 5 sad lonely days in December of 2008!   (emo)

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.) told supporters God was sending a message to Washington politicians through the earthquake and hurricane that pummeled the East Coast this weekend, according to a report in the St. Petersburg Times. The hurricane killed more than 26 people, including at least two chidren.

While giving a speech about the merits of small government and tea party activism, Bachmann said:

I don’t know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We’ve had an earthquake; we’ve had a hurricane. He said, ‘Are you going to start listening to me here?’ Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we’ve got to rein in the spending.





ROFLMAO

Oh for fuck's sake. The more I hear about that woman the more annoying she gets.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

 If she ever becomes president, I may need to defect to Canada, clear me a space!  :laugh:
