It’s easy for me to laugh, I’m not there.
should be interesting to see how this stacks up
t0 Katrina.
“... fought in a battle...”
Knowing how the Staten Islanders feel...this year’s marathon may include a battle or two (...as it should!).
I lived through hurricane Hugo here in SC and there was one business which did everything in it’s power to help.
They GAVE AWAY water and ice, they attached head lights to shopping carts connected to car batteries so people could shop for the barest necessities and any groceries they had left.
Because it is non-union business, I’m wondering if Walmart is being ALLOWED to help in this disaster?
Anyone?
The primary difference between Katrina and Sandy is not the extent of the damage, or the factual FEMA response, or the numbers of people endangered or the numbers of people still suffering four days after the storms’ landfall - Sandy may score higher on all of those.
The biggest difference is a media that used a crisis to go after a president and now paints 100% similar circumstances after a similar crisis as irrelevant to the performance of a president they worked so hard to elect.
The truth may be less than something in the middle. The truth may be that they are so trecherous in that they are now giving federal officials the benefit of the doubt (FEMA acts on locally determined requirements and locally determined targets), the more honest benefit of the doubt that they denied to George W. Bush, because like Axelrod they “could not let a crisis go to waste”.
I think I heard the audio 2x on Hannity; did you?
NJ/NY unions: “Don’t believe your lying ears!”
LOL. This is going to come back to bite them in the ass. And it’s going to get really ugly, soon.
Popcorn?
It’s just been cancelled. Thank God.
