Require. Require?
Why, Mr. King ... how ... LIBERAL of you.
“This procedure that was laid out is fully acceptable and fully satisfactory. It provides the full $60 billion that we require,” said Representative Peter King, a high-ranking House Republican from Long Island, New York.
And, again, Boehner or ANY Conservative, should be on the horn and going over this bill, line by line, and showing the pork riddled POS that it is; then demand a new CLEAN bill be offered...Then bitch slap King as he deserves.
Just holding my breath for votes on aid to Texas for wildfires, past hurricanes, and all of those Hurricane Katrina New Orleans ghetto refugees the Lone Star State had to absorb. /sarc
I am SO sick of being looted by the feds for wealth distribution. With all due respect, Uncle Sam is broke. The Northeast needs to man up and handle its own problems. Quit screwing the rest of us with nanny state beggaring.
Ditto the behemoth Christie.
Bingo! Just more painful proof that Boehner is not up for the job of speaker or congressman!
P * S S Y!!!!!!!!!!!
Likewise. You build on a bunch of sandbars and a good storm will wipe you out. It wasn’t a super anything, it was stupidity matching up with probability.
Sandy was only one part of a three part weather event. Three major weather systems collided: a southern late season hurricane that was very big … a high altitude Canadian jet stream that barreled in from the north … and a winter snow storm that approached from the west. A relatively strong nor’easter would have resulted if Sandy had not merged with these other systems.
When Sandy combined with the other storms it became a super storm. Sandy’s immense size also comes into play. The peak diameter of storm force winds with Irene was 460 miles, for Katrina it was 435 miles. These are very large distances but only half as big as Sandy at 943 miles. This almost thousand mile wide storm had the second most kinetic energy of any storm measured and it struck a densely populated area.
It also has to be noted that the super storm hit at high tide, during a full moon. Results would have been much different if Sandy had hit a barren coastline in North Carolina or Texas.
