Eric Fisher is reporting from Virginia Beach, VA. He can barely stand upright in the winds and is reporting that he sees residents who just now decided to board up. They are out in 50 mph winds (stronger gusts) and trying to nail on, essentially, a big wooden sail.

I do not get people who refuse to evacuate. There are no excuses, people. Not to be unsympathetic, but if you die, it's your own stupid fault.

You can't deny our love! It used to be illegal for two men to marry. Why won't you give us the same rights as they have now?!?
You joke, but it was just a little while back that some nut (in Britain?) married a dolphin.

I read yesterday that they were once a popular pet before being banned in the States. The good news is that, apparently, the will live amongst the native rats but can't breed with them so, eventually, they'll die off.
Kind of like the parakeets and parrots that shit on your car in Ft. Myers. They live with pigeons.

The imported rat probably wouldn't mate with local rats, and it couldn't reproduce if it did, because each is from a different genus, said Dr. Paul Calle, director of zoological health at the Wildlife Conservation Society.
The Norway rats and Gambian pouched rats are both imports, not native.
Even if the offspring mule is incapable of reproduction, a horse and donkey capably mate.

Why are they still talking about Irene. I guess nothing else is in the news.
The mindset of the media. I'm sad for them 'cause they wanted a killer hurricane so badly. They were so disappointed at the lack of dead bodies from the tsunami and then the earthquake.

She was never a real threat to the Carolinas, who are used to this stuff. The threat and it is still real is to the New York Metropolitan area and severe flooding.
The storm actually appears to be better organized now than when it made landfall. That won't bode well for those up the coast.

Giant Mutant Rats? Well then that makes them a new subspecies, and under the Endangered Species Act, seriously endangered.
Thus, you must board up all those buildings, and move all the people out to protect their natural habitat...
Oh, and prosecute that evil thug with the pitchfork for killing an endangered species.... years in the Pen Murderer.

Over the last two months, DHS/FEMA/HUD sent out multiple mailings warning homeowners to specifically buy flood insurance (endorsing Farmers) because the federal government can't be expected to do anything to help in an emergency.

Correction. There are numerous posters decrying the killing of this beastie, calling those who disagree with them sociopaths lacking in empathy, etc., etc. Some people are beyond parody.
I have half a mind to ask them if they get upset watching animal shows depicting wolves eating moose alive and call for the prosecution of wolves.

The President of the African Union reminded listeners during a live interview 2 days ago how popular Gaddafi is throughout Africa because of Libya's contributions to the financial development of the poorest regions and populations, building other nation's infrastructures and hospitals funded through Libya's oil wealth. Out of all that region's oil rich nations, Libya devotes far more to humanitarian infrastructure construction, education and medical facilities for populations than other nations do both domestically and throughout the continent.
Breitbart reports from Tripoli of NATO's al-Qaeda "rebels" forcibly removing all doctors and nurses from the hospitals, leaving the wounded and sick to die without medical attention.

Having maintained Libya's banking independence for decades, institutionally backing its sovereign economy through their own gold supply, Gaddafi only recently began participating in trading through the globalist investment industry accounts. Economically, that didn't pan out for Libya to play ball given the NATO monopoly policy.

Any home owner may buy flood insurance but those in the flood zones are required to do so...and no one can buy any insurance when a named storm is out there. No policies will be written as it approaches.

The amendment (to the constitution) calls for public debt not to exceed 60 percent of gross domestic product, though the ceiling may be breached in the case of “natural catastrophe, economic recession or emergencies.” The parties pledged to pass a separate law by June next year that will set a maximum structural deficit of 0.4 percent of GDP to be met by 2020, the same year the debt limit comes into effect.

You are mistaken, here's the quote:
[after Westley rescues her from the lightning quicksand]
Buttercup: We'll never succeed. We may as well die here.
Westley: No, no. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt - no problem. There's a popping sound preceding each; we can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand, which you were clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid that too.
Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.
[Immediately, an R.O.U.S. attacks him]

Just watched a replay of the new Doctor Who, and noticed something odd.
Only the insane Leftists in Britain could come up with this latest plot twist.
The idea is that the Doctor, because it has gotten to the point that he can repel armies - or assemble one - just by name-dropping, has become a Great Warrior, and therefore someone to be feared. The finger is pointed at him - he's the problem, it's his fault, because he has made everybody afraid.
So it sounds like the Doctor has become a metaphor for the US Military. Never mind that he has saved countless worlds, and the Universe as a whole, countless times - repelling the forces of evil without so much as a light-saber, never asking anything in return. He is branded as evil simply because he is mighty.
Or, to put it more simply, he must be vanquished because he is successful - never mind that he is a force for good.
Who gets worried when a force for good is strong? Um, that would be evil people, my limey cousins! For God's sake, buy a clue!! No wonder your country headed down the toilet!
