That should be an interesting problem for DeLay.

1. I pray not

Even dickhead like DeLay doesn't deserve a cat 5 up his ass.

[aquart]

4. DeLay does.

However there are many good people in Sugarland who do not. I'm not sure where Sugarland is, but someone on WU mentioned emailing the latest storm maps to his boss in Sugarland, and he didn't think he'd like them.

Which makes me wonder how DeLay will look at funding for hurricane victims, say, next week.

[Carolab]

5. Yes, he does. n/t

[Erika]

2. But dickhead will offer a 5 mil govt reimbursement to them

and then bitch his head off about subsidies to buy trailers for the poor in New Orleans.

[liberaltrucker]

6. True enough

but there are folks in his district who'll suffer. Let's not politicize(sp) a natural disaster. Leave that to freepers.

[aquart]

7. But he'll be competing with many Texas congressmen.

I do wonder how they'll feel about that.

[NNadir]

3. Where, exactly, is Sugarland?

[aquart]

8. No clue. But the weather nerds seem to believe

It may now be in danger. Rita veered a bit.

9. Basically a suburb of Houston

10. Sugarland is a bit SW of Houston

If it gets hit, so do Houston and Galveston. Do you so-called liberals still think DeLay deserves a cat 5 up his ass:grr:

[karlrschneider]

11. I think he deserves 5 cats up his ass.

...all hungry & real pissed off.

[liberaltrucker]

12. Ha! 5 cats

That'd be the ticket on edit-misread you post:blush:

[DBoon]

13. five cats, not a "cat 5"

cats as in:

[liberaltrucker]

14. See edit

I stand corrected:blush: nice kitty.

[karlrschneider]

15. Nice kitty, good kitty, just stay right there...I'll be back with food

in 2 or 3 months...
:D

[aquart]

21. I'm telling PETA on you.

Poor, innocent cats. Bush killed enough animals in NOLA.

[fujiyama]

16. I think DeLay does

but not the rest of the people.

Too bad natural disasters (other than lightning ) can't just strike certain people!

[aquart]

20. Yes. He does.

Unfortunately, the others don't. It would be extremely faith-affirming if DeLay and his property were all that was destroyed, but nature has no religion and no particular vendetta. Nature doesn't like ANY of us.

17. What is at Sugarland anyway? Is it a town or is it sugar fild?

I don't know. :shrug:

[pop goes the weasel]

18. used to be sugar plantation

Sugar cane everywhere, except at the Imperial mill. Now the mill is closed, and most of the sugar fields are tract development and big box stores. It's a giant hellish suburb, everything that is wrong with urban development.

That said, lots of middle income people live there only because the housing is relatively inexpensive. I have a sorta-relative-by-marriage there. Her house will almost certainly get flooded, what with the bayou not a mile away. Sucks big time.

[Rainscents]

19. Thank you for the information!

[aquart]

22. Yes.

The weather is changing and nothing we ever depended on will stay true.

I read, on Greg Masters' blog, that some meteorologists think this is just a normal cycle like fifty years ago. They are professionally trained idiots. The Ross Ice Shelf is melting. It's been frozen for six million years. This is no normal cycle.

23. Husband's business partner (known him for 20 years) and ..

fam. live there.

We're worried.
