Another thread funny, Humble Servant - HA!
Earlier, I thought about posting this and asking for captions.....
Sounds like being slapped by Chris Christie.
To those of us, who grew up in New Orleans, it was better known as Fat Mary.
Leave the NE a physical mess just as he leaves the entire country in an economic mess.
I say this....stop adding to the hype people....there is real devastation....but don't think for a moment the bammy minions are working this to their advantage....
Katrina was a large level 2 hurricane; not a level 5.
The major difference is that New Orleans is below sea level, and Manhattan Island is on average 50-60 feet above sea level. They may get some water, and anything underground (subways, etc), most certainly are flooded. However, the water will drain, and everything will go back to normal. It may take time; sure, but it will.
“Stroke” isn't bad.
“Smack the fat.” I like it!!
LOL!

During the Texas wildfires last year, all was going rather well with neighbors helping neighbors, until the federal government found Bastrop on mapquest.
When the National Forest Service arrived, they began checking all the volunteer fire fighters to see if they had their federal certification to fight forest fires. These were Texans who had traveled all night to help, but if they didn’t have that piece of paper, they were sent packing.
Happily, these were Texans. They simply went to the smaller towns that weren’t on the fed’s radar, and they helped those desperately over-stretched volunteer fire departments save their towns.
Meanwhile, the federal government kept a huge cargo plane loaded with retardant on the tarmac in Austin because the pilot lacked two hours of sleep to fulfill the federal sleep requirement for pilots. Many houses burned down while he was snoozing.
Earlier in 2011, West Texans were much smarter when the feds came to over- see their fire emergency. They told them they were handling it, and the feds could leave. Not knowing that wild country, they left, and the ranchers stopped the fires on their own. When you need help, do not depend on the federal government to do anything but get in the way.
Coup de grâce.
It means blow of mercy (or grace). Puts someone out of their misery.
Illiteracy never impresses.
Neither does humorlessness...and faultfinding is not an attractive quality either.
Alan Caruba is a solid writer...but like all of us, he makes mistakes.
Yeah, Obama is asleep at the wheel! Let's see some Obama miracles.
Is he talking to the man or woman to his left? Have you gotten some captions yet? LOL’ing!
Or maybe “fat liver gives you strokes.” ;-)
But, we don't want to disparage the memory of Stan Laurel!
I don’t think the writer made the mistake.
I didn’t see the term in the article, only the headline.
I commented on this because I think it is important for alternative sites to exist and become larger and more influential to combat and ultimately decrease the MSM monopoly.
I don’t know anything about this site, or Alan Caruba, but like their initiative and what they are trying to do.
My comment is sincere and cautionary. “Don’t be illiterate” is a good thing, an important thing and a conservative thing.
Welcome to FR (it is already hugely influential--has been for years).
The number 2 rule of posting an article is "don't change the title." You can truncate it if you must, but don't change it. If you change it you affect rule number 1, which is "do a search for an article title before posting" so that you don't make the mistake of duplicating a previous post.;-)
I think Alan Caruba, like a lot of online writers, probably doesn't have an editor--hence a greater chance of error. That said, I didn't notice the error until others pointed it out. At that hour of the morning, I was still operating under a caffeine deficit.
Sorry for being crabby in my earlier post to you.
