Not now Jjf1acai

CG? You there?

I am here.

I am patententing that idea. I think your idea has already been done it's called The Enquirer.

Sounds like the poor people in Vermont and upper NY State got hammered. Hopefully it dries out there soon.

Is God sending a message via hurricanes and earthquakes? Sure seems like he cold do it a lot more definitively by using words, instead of wind and rain and shaking ground.

Michele Bachmann Says God Is Sending Disasters to Punish Our Spending

Blaming God's wrath for natural disasters has long been the stock-in-trade of an infamous cadre of angry, unscientific TV preachers led by Pat Robertson. Now, a presidential candidate has joined in on the medieval fun.

Speaking yesterday to a 1,000-person crowd gathered in Sarasota, Florida, Michele Bachmann, who is campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, said that God is punishing the United States with disasters because the nation is spending too much money. "I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians," she said, according to the St. Petersburg Times. "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."

Do people really still think this woman is qualified to lead our country? God is punishing us for our spending habits? Seriously?

Catch up it's already been posted.

An actual on-post topic. I know some people in upstate NY, lots of rain and some flooding in Western Mass. And pretty widespread power outages. Overall, it wasn't that bad, but there are pockets of hard hit flooded areas.

Ha-Well..I wanted you to have first crack at it. I'll shop the idea around elsewhere then?

UPDATE: Everythings fine people. I don't think to story is worthy of any more discussion
