Sound familiar? Do the names Ray Nagan and Kathleen Blanco ring a bell? How about Katrina & New Orleans?
This is one the head of the Mayor, Mohammet Kasim Reed. Who was at Davos last week, listening to Al Gore. And taking positions on gay marriage.
Funny, the airlines knew about it in advance. Mid-afternoon on Monday a colleague of mine who was flying through Hartsfield got notice that his Tuesday evening flight had been cancelled.
They can’t get a clue from a weather forecast for this week, but think they KNOW global warming will make things hotter in 20 years...
I’m just curious —
You get two inches of snow, Atlanta — just what did you expect the governor or mayor or anybody to do for you — hold your hand???
Grow up —
My theory that the media and Team Obama are working, sometimes with unwitting Republicans, to DESTROY the “brand” of the only electable party that is capable of representing conservative ideas.
I am not saying they only attack conservatives, but that they only attack Republicans...in an effort to taint ALL Republicans.
Christie MAY have caused a traffic jam. Media hoopla, federal investigation.
Trey Radel admits to MISDEMEANOR, repents, gets treatment, is PUSHED out by the party.
Michael Grimm gets irritated with liberal reporter, speaks mean words to him, media goes nuts.
Nathan Deal talks about less than stellar forecasts, suddenly HE is to blame for Atlanta’s transit problems.
There are Democrat parallels here, but let us just deal with the latest. Anyone remember the media attacking Kathleen Blanco, governor of Louisiana, for her FAILURE to save lives during Hurricane Katrina? Nope. In that case, it was the Republican PRESIDENT who was to blame.
It's an unending cycle. People criticize if governments take precautions and nothing happens. They complain if they don't plan for possibilities and they happen.
I thought the mayor of Atlanta nailed it. People should've been let out of work on staggered schedules, with government employees leaving last.
Okay, he had one day warning. What is he gonna do, get snow plows down from Ohio? Have a special edition of Top Gear to teach sunbelters how to drive in snow?
Even when Atlanta gets its once a decade two inches of snow, it doesn’t stay long. Since when do modest snowfalls get their own name, anyway?
We here in Wisconsin had -26 degrees earlier this week, without that windchill factor or anything. My windshield fluid and anti-freeze froze. The BUick didn’t start, thankfully that V-8 Chevy started up (but had to warm up for 30 MINUTES to defrost the anti-freeze.
I know you folks aren’t geared for it, but good grief!
Fact is, the Nat Weather Service DID call for the worse weather to the south of Atlanta, so the Governor rightfully delayed deploying the State's limited snow gear until it was certain where the storm would do the most damage. That wasn't certain until around noon on Tuesday. The interstate backups were due to the usual snow panic where everyone tries to leave work or school at the same time.
Deal is getting a raw "deal" on this call.
what b.s.
The govt motto in 2014 is do nothing and create a dependency situation, everywhere govt rules.
This is Georgia. I’m not interested in having a big Government that takes care of every little thing. The crybabies jumping all over the State Gov aren’t from here originally. Maybe they would prefer something more Jersey like.
*drink*
Are insinuating that this is plenty of time to bring snow tires into the stores and get them all mounted?
Thats no excuse. Everybody knows Atlanta sits right on the snow line. It always depends on whether a storm moves twenty miles one way or the other as to if they will get snow.
This was Pzz poor planning.
