    Okay… again, I admit I got my oceans confused… sorry, I don\’t live on the ocean and it was before my cuppa\’ Joe this morning.

    Still, anti-science? How is guessing science? Last year they warned what a terrible hurricane season we should expect. I know underwriters at my company were puckering various parts of their bodies in anticipation. What happened to all that science? Ooops… our projections were wrong. It\’s not anti-science to point out the lack of science in hurricane modelling.

    This year half the forecasters are warning how bad the season will be, but then there\’s a couple other models that say it won\’t be much worse than an \”average\” year.

    You want USEFUL advise of how to prepare for a hurricane? A forecast isn\’t going to do it. Don\’t want to be affected by a hurricane, don\’t live in an area prone to them (sure, I know, Pittsburgh was flooded by a hurricane in – I think – \’36 but that was a fluke).

    Not really sure where you get the flat Earth, Dragons, or Dieties from whatever. Have a great life being afraid of every media report you hear that uses junk \”science\”. On the other hand I\’ll be more practical and rational and not support wasting money on guesses.

    Jeff,

    Please list the cases that these federal prosecuters were working on that involved republican corruption. Can\’t name any, what a surprise. You failed to mention that these same prosecuters failed to go after the democratic voter corruption in each of their states and that is why they were being fired. Also, I think Gonzalez is a complete and utter incompetent. He should have never been given the office. But, what he did wrong, was trying to hide this issue from the beginning. He should have just got up in front of the entire nation and said \”yes, I fired these guys at the request of the President and he has every right to request it and I have every right to carry it out\”. Let\’s not forget Abscam (Murtha), Barney Frank running a brothel out of his home, or maybe Ted Kennedy and his wild ride over a bridge many years ago or the new one that the left wing media is trying to keep quiet, the wrongdoings of Dianne Feinstein and steering billions of dollars of defense spending to her husbands companies. No, only GOP are corrupt, not!.

    Compman, I don\’t think Jeff\’s point was that only republicans are corrupt. I think his point was, conservatives are quick to judge and scream impeachment when a democrat does something \”wrong\”, but will defend a lying/corrupt republican to their grave (example: Bush).

    When will our nation realize that MOST of our politicians are CORRUPT, that the SYSTEM is corrupt and it does not matter which side of the fence they claim to sit on. When a politician that actually works and cares about the PEOPLE of this country steps forward(ie: they do not take office to forward a personal or religious agenda), there will be a revolution in this country. If you doubt me, read a history book. We are tearing our country apart from the inside through corruption and hatred. It\’s heartbreaking.

    My oath is to the CONSTITUTION – not a king! I don\’t care if my leader is \”republican\”, \”democrat\”, \”green\” or otherwise, if they do not uphold the constitution, they do not have my support.
