Drama Queen Gets His Blow Job

Ever the opportunist, I was watching the Fox News online live feed in Galveston during Hurricane Ike when…

Geraldo Rivera Gets whacked in the forehead by some flying debris

Yessss!!!!!!
He slowly slumped to his knees with the effectiveness and efficiency worthy of a 1960’s B movie
(perhaps this storm should’ve been named Roger (Clemens)

In celebration of hurricane season…

Here was my view of Hurricane Dennis

Before and After

It appears that there is still a portion of the western Mississippi Gulf Coast that hasn’t updated to post-katrina (and, no, I still don’t capitalize that word) images on Google Maps. The area where the old blends with the new shows an amazing contrast of just what destruction a hurricane can do.

The Katrina-Google Maps Conspiracy?

It seems that there is a big buzz around the blogosphere and internet news sites concerning Google Maps’ return to pre-katrina satellite views for the New Orleans area.
First of all, it could be that I’m just on a renegade Google data center, but I haven’t seen the post-katrina views for over a year now. Big [...]

Hope the incoming traffic stops in time…

The SS Minnow

This boat remains where Hurricane Ivan left her two years ago. Zoom out and you can see more derelict boats.

Hurricane Ivan – Two Years Later

Did the Florida panhandle secede to Alabama while I was asleep last night?

Ernesto: Hurricane Katrina part two?

Count on the oil platforms shutting down soon. Do you have your gas tank filled?
Has anyone blamed Bush yet? May as well get that out of the way.
Will Landrieu actually punch Bush this time?
Will Nagin get off HIS ass this time?
Will the Ray Nagin Memorial Motor Pool be put to good use this time?

Will the [...]
