some good, some …
The campaign is taking similar precautions in New Hampshire, where Ann Romney was supposed to be on Monday. They have cancelled that visit and are instead using another campaign bus to help with relief there. …Twichy/Twitter … posted photos of relief supplies next to Romney’s campaign bus in Virginia…
Obama was returning to Washington to monitor storm preparations and response after touching down in the Sunshine State the evening before. The president squeezed in a visit to his Orlando regional headquarters Sunday night — the rally set for Monday morning could still go on with former President Bill Clinton as the headliner.
All you East Coast PMs — be careful out there.
Oh, and this:
Madonna drew boos and triggered a walkout by several concertgoers after she touted President Barack Obama on her “MDNA Tour” in New Orleans.

I hope I am wrong, but I have an uneasy feeling that Sandy is gonna be used as an excuse for the election outcome on election day. RATz might claim foul on the outcome because their zombies could not get to a polling station to vote.
We have not suffered for 4 fucking years to have a god damn hurricane fuck it up!!!!
Put another way, Colonel, it’s a safe bet that Il Impostore will make certain he’s shown poring over pictures and reports, giving directions to hack through the red tape and get emergency teams and supplies to devastated areas, flitting around in his private MarCorps helo to wring his hands and cluck his tongue at the human misery, assuring governors and congresstwerps that massive federal aid and funds are on the way, making thinly veiled references to Bush’s handling of Katrina, and just generally feasting on a great foto and press-release opportunity.
And then, if Romney says ANYthing critical about ANYthing ANYbody does, El Fraudulento will accuse him of trying to politicize a tragedy, profit from the human suffering, and benefit from the free press coverage he’s getting while PotUS Terribilis is busy doing his job, leading the country in its time of peril, and preserving civil functions and protecting individuals’ lives as he swore to do when inaugurated.
I’d say NYC was in for a pasting…
And of course his total catatonia in the Situation Room when his Ambassador and three others were being murdered will continue to NOT get the press coverage it merits …..
(Have you seen Pat Caddell’s latest rant against the media?)
No red tape no laws he’s there— for what ever anyone needs– just like Benghazi—too late — you might as well go to Wisconsin anyway— I hear he canceled his trip there but Billy boy is going instead. Yeah for Wisconsin!!! I hope everyone’s toilets are fixed.
And greenies are busy getting their dvds of that glow ball vorming movie where NYC is frozen solid.
So they can say *shiver, shiver* SEE, SEE?! we were right!!!!
Now give me my obamaphone with EBT card reader and carbon free emergency heating stuff.
One watches the storm.
The other does something.
Any questions?
I actually just heard Obama on the radio telling people to do this, and to do that to stay safe, etc.
If you need advice from Obama for hurricane survival, you need to die. Just slit your wrists. Do it now.
Remember: Down the Track, not Across the Road. A nice warm bath after that would also be helpful.
I also just saw Mayor Bloomberg telling NYC residents, if they lived in a housing project, to go downstairs. You know, where all the water is. Jesus.
CJ USMC – I share your concerns about election chicanery. But at this point they have no excuse. Early voting today has been cancelled and rescheduled for Friday. Tuesday, they tell me, is likely to be cancelled as well. That could just as easily be rescheduled for Saturday.
Still, “Never let a crisis go to waste,” comes to mind.
There’s language in the news portion of this post, and I’ve been hearing on radio as well that, “obama is returning to Washington.”
I wish they wouldn’t say that.
“— the rally set for Monday morning could still go on with former President Bill Clinton as the headliner.”
Thomas M., relax. You don’t have Billy Jeff covering your back like Obozeau does.
Hey, guess who flew into town today. Ann Romney is here to give a talk at 1 pm. Got the call at my house last night but I have to work.
As for you New York’ers, stock up on micro-wave pizza and 64 oz. sluppies. Ya gonna need em.
The definition of BAD JAMBO! Just heard the highlights from the HMFIC of weather reports.
Highlights =
1. Sustained winds of 53 mph w gusts of 70+mph inland from coasts of Virginia to upper border of New York State.
2. Six to twelve inches of rain possible in New York Harbor!
3. Three + feet of snow in Appalachia & Virginia mountains.
4. Surface water level in New York Harbor may rise 8 to 11 fucking feet!!!!!!!
In other news: Sent an email to Senator Kerry`s office, pointing out there will NEVER be a better time for “Sail Boarding!” (…no reply, yet…)
I spent 2 monsoon seasons in Vietnam and experienced nights of 6 inches of rainfall. Rain so heavy it was almost difficult to breathe. Inside strongback tents we had to shout to be heard. Fortunately, the monsoon rains were not cold water, and everything inside tents and buildings got wet from air moisture,
including every stitch of clothes we were wearing. BUT–no wind in monsoons. Can not imagine what would happen in 50mph winds at the same time……………
Think about that– his back ups are Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. That should tell you enough rightshare.
Plus: let us remember, the East River is a river in name only. It’s actually a tidal seaway, salt water. 11 feet up puts it over the docks. And I wouldn’t want to be on Roosevelt Island.
On the plus side, this may actually clean up the OCCUPY-Bot sites. Better yet, blow the New Yark Times building to the site in West Virginia where they filmed that movie years ago, whose name & actors I cain` remember (…nor wish too—-something about squealling like a pig….) .oOH yea-ah, Burt Reynolds…..
I assume the UN threw open its doors as a shelter.

Yes, Yes, we have.
Well, unless there’s a later rant.
Winds are picking up here in CT. The good thing is we won’t have to worry about raking the lawn this fall. There’s not a leaf in sight.
“Obama was returning to Washington to monitor storm preparations and response”
That’s the purview of the states’ governors, you dipshit. The president doesn’t do anything except to tell FEMA to respond to the governors’ requests, and sign disaster proclamations to release relief money.
^^ F*cking Democrats think everything revolves around the Federal government.
I have a Great Idea: let’s have Madonna and Joe Biden do a hurricane victim benefit concert/vaudeville act on November 7.
The opening / keynote number can be all about “Spanky Spanky.”
What? No of course I’m not going to show up myself, it just seems so appropriate is all….
