Hey Mitt, I just got back from the grocery here in NYC

Low on bread and milk (which will be replenished tomorrow) but row after row of canned goods. So you know what you can do with your relief efforts. Why don't you do something useful, like support rebuilding the infrastructure you asslick!

that if he said the sky was blue I'd have to go outside to check.

Shops are closed if power is off, otherwise they're open for business.

Between him and Heckuva Job Schmucky, my head is spinning today.

Glad you're okay, edhopper. I'm in White Plains; used to live and work in Bayside.

I need a lot of UNION guys and a lot of FEMA help to get the mass transit running again. A lot of my relatives need those UNION guys to get their lights going again.

And the people on the Jersey shore are alive today because of those UNION guys. They'll get their houses rebuilt because of FEMA.

And did you hear? West Virginia had to call in the NATIONAL guard in some areas.

Put that on your bus. And then you know where to put the bus.

My sister walked 20 blocks north so she could text me and ask if I had heard anything.
I told her the only encouraging thing I heard is that the more populated areas would be online first.

Hell no.

It would be too embarassing when none of his billionaire cronies step up because there's no return here.

To them, charity has nothing to do with social justice; it's merely a vehicle for facilitating tax-free bribery.
