I’m in New Orleans, where the media have been getting more and more hysterical. This a tropical storm, for god’s sake. I wonder how long it will take Jim Cantore to find a sign blown down somewhere so he can film in front of it. The media should be ashamed.
One good thing about Isaac is that the computers have it tracking north into one of the areas where the “worst drought in history” (aka the last 20 years) is at its most extreme. The drought to end all droughts could be over by the end of the summer. I guess the screamers will turn their focus to arctic ice as the new harbinger of climate catastrophe.
Its been upgraded to a hurricane, but its only cat 1. The media will be hysterical and take away coverage of the GOP convention. Made to order for an Obama boost in the polls.
Remember last year Lee was only a tropical storm and was still a billion dollars catastrophe. In this age of inflated/fraudulent property claims, it doen’t take much!
Maybe I sould get on the phone to FEMA so I can be the first to get some of that free govmint money. Wait. Louisiana is a red state with an annoying Republican governor. My guess is Mr. Obama ignores us except to preen for the cameras with Brangelina in front of one of their 9th ward houses where the solar panels were blown off in the storm.
Another item ” low on wind “…
The “Arctic Row” Team quit rowing on Sunday.
Judging from the map, the “rowing across the Arctic Ocean” consisted of hugging the coast of Alaska.

By the way, Steve, don’t forget our bet.

Looting has begun so Issac officially qualifies as a hurricane. 🙂
