| Driving sleet and high winds of up to 50 mph today are compounding Long Island's existing misery in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties. All the way in Montauk, desperate owners of oceanfront motels pushed to the brink by Sandy frantically tried to shore up their teetering structures before today's storm. Sand bags packed the back ends of places like the Royal Atlantic where staffers tried to avoid getting knocked out completely by today's Nor-easter. In Sagaponack, Billy Joel's efforts to shore up his Gibson Lane property looked to be faltering as the ocean began to strip away

Of course Barack and Michelle were there filling sand bags today. s/ Interesting that half the electorate thinks Obama did a great job with hurricane Sandy.

If Chris Matthews and Michael Moore think God sent Hurricane Sandy to help Obama win re-election, why do think God sent this new major storm now that Obama has already won?

Good posts, you'all.
My emphathy for the NJ and NY'ers is a zero today.
Maybe I will feel better in a few weeks. Don't call begging for donations.
As a firefighter, I know I should not feel that way; but life sucks.

Either way, you all who voted for obama in droves deserve what you get. You will receive not one dime donation from me. other than what obama takes out of my pocket day after day after day without my permission.

Glad other posters have my sentiment. People dumb enough to repeatedly vote dems in year in and year old don't deserve any better than to be left out in the cold. They were too stupid to protect their coastline. Too stupid to prepare for a hurricane much less get out of the way. Then NJ ran off the utility workers and NY pelted them with eggs.
It's obvious who's DNA had what it took to go west, fight the weather, snakes, coyotes and Indians. Not the limp lizard yellow belly Yankees.

I'd help but I'm not unionized. Also, liberals are so far superior to this conservative that it would be an insult if I did offer.//I do have a two year supply of freeze-dried food, multiple water purifiers, first aid supplies, etc. etc. If any of you would like to try and take my family's stuff, I also have a full weapons locker, reserves of ammunition, and heavily armed neighbors who are also conservative.//Happy Holidays to All!

I was going to send money to the relief and Red Cross efforts, then I realized, you know what, my 1969 AMX really does need those factory seat covers and I have been so putting off getting the rally rims for the car. I do want to get it done in time for the big AMC meet here in a few months. So much to do.....
Plus if you add in the vintage Heywood-Wakefield bookcases that my wife just had to have this month, well, I just couldn't break her heart and say no!
Anyways, the liberals out there found time to vote in their god again, I am sure he and Chuckie Schumer have it all handled and don't need my dollars.
When the rains out here in California produce the next big mudslides in liberal Malibu, I'll be out there helping by, you know, documenting the whole thing for my enjoyment from the comfort of my BMW with my new high definition video camera. I am sure Michael Moore has enough money to put his entertainment buddies up in nice hotels.

#17, These types of storms are called Nor'Easters because the winds come from the North East. The storm has a counter-clockwise rotation and the center goes along the coast or to the east. The warm southern air is full of moisture, and mixes with the cold air sucked down from the north creating snow, ice, etc.
It was interesting, last week FEMA was surveying one of the buildings on my campus that has been vacated by my company as we "grew" from close to 10,000 employees in 2000 to 2,500 now. It is a nice building but the self-reliant will be back to normal before FEMA moves in.
People with skin in the game will do what they need to in order to get back to normal the best they can. Those that have no skin in the game will sit back and complain they don't have enough help because someone else has more.
There are self reliant people in the NE.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was “starting to get nervous” about passing immigration reform, suggesting that opponents of the bill were gaining momentum.

Reid (D-Nev.) is hoping to pass the measure before the July recess. Cruz suggested that Reid hoped to move the bill quickly to avoid scrutiny

Los Angeles County coroner´s officials said Wednesday the body recovered from a fiery, single-car crash in Hollywood that apparently killed journalist Michael Hastings will likely undergo an autopsy Thursday. But an official cause of death and closure of the case is not likely for four to six weeks or perhaps longer, they said. Coroner´s officials are hoping the results will answer why the accident happened. Officials were attempting to match dental records to help make a positive identification. The death of the 33-year-old Hastings was announced Tuesday by his employer, BuzzFeed,

Meet the Women for Weiner. The former congressman, who apologized for the lewd picture scandal that ended his House career before launching a bid last month for New York City mayor, is holding a fundraiser hosted by “Women for Anthony” next week at the Manhattan home of an education activist and philanthropist. The host committee is led by his wife, Huma Abedin, and includes her sister, Heba; Rory Tahari, wife of designer Elie Tahari; and Cheryl Saban, the wife of California-based mega-donor Haim Saban, who funded a short film lauding Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department

"Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

News reports from the final debate between Democrat Ed Markey and Republican Gabriel Gomez conclude that Gomez, a first-time candidate and self-styled "new kind of Republican," delivered a strong performance. With just days left in the campaign before the June 25 special election for Senate, Gomez has trailed Markey, a 37-year veteran of the House, in every single poll. Markey currently leads by average of more than 9 points. But in the debate Tuesday night, Gomez hit Markey hard on the Democrat´s long Washington tenure, a running theme in the Republican´s campaign.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
