The jet ski guy is pretty funny. I saw another pic where there was one in the background of a reporter on the beach. I don't know if it was the same guy or not.

I don't know why they are chasing him. Let Darwin do his thing.

power is back on. It turns out that our neighborhood was really the only one in the neighborhood to lose power. A tree downed the main line and it was a relatively simple fix. A little over 12 hours before it was restored. Not bad, not bad at all.

I believe I read about this in the WSJ, but one interesting note about Al Gore is he left office in January 2001 having a net worth of less than $2 million. As of right now, he's worth around $100 million. Correspondingly, he had invested heavily in green energy companies prior to their receipt of a cumulative total of $2.5 billion from Obama's stimulus.

Also, apparently the family of the Prime Minister of China is worth well over a $1 billion. Many in the upper reaches of that government are worth a helluva lot of coin. Membership has its privileges.

Al Gore said global warming would create hurricanes? Wow.

Were there hurricanes before humans existed? If so, I'd like Gore to explain why.

Gore made his money by ripping off gullible idiots. I can't say I really blame him for taking advantage of imbeciles, but if anyone is a shady bastard, it's him.

The LDS Church statement.

[YOhio]

Our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted by post-tropical storm Sandy. Local Church leaders along the eastern coast of the United States have made preparations for the storm. Church representatives are in contact with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), The American Red Cross, Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) and other relief agencies to coordinate response efforts. Forty-two LDS volunteers are supporting Red Cross shelter operations in New Jersey and neighboring areas. The Church is working closely with the Red Cross to identify additional shelter locations if needed.

The Church stands ready to assist affected communities. Emergency Response resources have been pre-positioned in Bishops Storehouses in the area. These resources include items such as food, water, blankets, hygiene supplies, tarps, cleaning supplies, chain saws and shovels.

Local Church leaders will make assessments in the coming days and coordinate with response partners to determine further relief efforts.

Mission presidents have taken precautions to protect the safety and well-being of missionaries.

Good find. Not a boring subject at all. To me rats make zombies look cute. They're beyond horrible.
