| Rats scurrying to escape rising floodwaters in New York could spread diseases as they infest new areas, according to a nature expert. A 13ft wall of water caused by the storm surge and high tides have caused severe flooding to subways and road tunnels in the city and torrents of water poured into city streets. The rising water will force rats out of their underground lairs and into contact with humans, according to Rick Ostfeld of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Milbrook, New York, speaking to The Huffington Post.

we were talking about this possibility this morning. Wondering where all the subway rats went during the flooding.
Puts me in mind of something my mom used to say - after a nuclear explosion the only creatures alive will be rats and cockroaches.

I hate rats, remember in the 1950's after a hurricane hit the east coast, we lived in Philadelphia at the time, streets flooded and afterwards a rat got into our house, remember my Mom using steel wool to plug the hole it chewed in the floor. Finally in the basement we saw the dang thing dead. Nasty, nasty creatures.

I lived in Chicago when the Chicago River collapsed into an underground tunnel and flooded a significant portion of the central business district. Took them the better part of 4 weeks to pump out the water, then another year of cleanup.
Based on that experience there, I'm thinking that the unions are going to see a multi-billion dollar windfall rather soon "for their efforts and assistance" in this natural disaster.
PETA will have a funeral for the mass rat and mouse death when the tides recede. I joke about this, but in reality, I am fairly confident they will do this stupidity.
New York, you can keep it. All of it.

The New York Times and CBS News have released new poll findings that again confirm what other polls have showed: Large majorities agree with the Democratic position, and disagree with the Republican position, on key issues facing the country. But before delving into those numbers, I wanted to highlight this quote from a Republican voter — given to the Times in a follow up interview — because it perfectly captures what is currently causing all the gridlock and stalemate in Washington: Rick Buckman, 52, a Republican and an electrical engineer from Dallas, Pa., said that while he supported stricter

With the immigration debate heating up in Washington, D.C., President Obama heads south of the border Thursday, embarking on a three-day trip to Mexico and Costa Rica as he tries to focus discussions on the economic ties between the United States, Mexico and Central America. On his fourth trip to Mexico since becoming president, Obama will engage in conversations with newly installed President Enrique Peña Nieto that are intended to extend beyond security concerns and focus heavily on the economic relationship between Mexico and the U.S. "A lot of the focus is going to be on economics," Obama said

President Obama´s approval numbers are starting to mimic Mitt Romney´s. According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, it´s the rich -- not the poor or middle class -- who back Obama more despite his 2012 campaign attacking the rich. The poll found that fewer than half of those with incomes less than $100,000 per year approve of Obama´s performance, while he enjoys a 54 percent approval rating among those with incomes higher than that. Those earning less than $40,000 a year disapprove of the president´s performance, 51 percent to 45 percent.

WASHINGTON– Making official what many Democrats have expected for weeks, President Obama plans to nominate Chicago business executive Penny Pritzker, a longtime political supporter and heavyweight fundraiser, as his new Commerce secretary on Thursday morning. Pritzker´s nomination could prove controversial. She is on the board of Hyatt Hotels Corp., which was founded by her family and has had rocky relations with labor unions, and she could face questions about the failure of a bank partly owned by her family. With a personal fortune estimated at $1.85 billion, Pritzker is listed by Forbes magazine among the 300 wealthiest Americans.

He also claimed that the United States knows who perpetrated last year´s assault on the U.S. embassy. Fox News´s Adam Housley interviewed a man he described as a "special ops member who watched as the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi unfolded."

President Obama has seen some of the political capital he earned in his 2012 reelection victory depleted, but there is plenty of time to recapture political momentum.The president´s approval ratings have leveled off, his push for gun control — labeled by the White House as a top priority — was defeated and many progressives believe he has been outflanked by Republican leaders on sequestration. The first 100 days of Obama’s second term have appeared so cloudy that the president found himself on the defensive after a reporter at a press conference on Tuesday asked

President Barack Obama and other executive-branch officials have made clear that they don’t think that further discussion is needed on the Benghazi attacks, but Congress is not done with the issue. At a press briefing Tuesday, President Barack Obama denied knowledge of allegations from some Republican senators that survivors of the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi were being blocked from testifying before Congress. “I’m not familiar with this notion that anybody’s been blocked from testifying,” Obama said. “What I’ve been very clear about from the start is that our job with respect to Benghazi

The May Day snow storm was making travel difficult on Interstate 70 in Colorado´s mountains and along Interstate 80 in southeastern Wyoming, but the snow wasn´t having a major impact on Denver´s airport, though there have been de-icing delays. Nearly 3 feet of snow is possible in the foothills and mountains of northern Colorado while around a foot is expected at lower elevations in parts of both states.

DENVER — The University of Colorado hired a visiting conservative professor this year, but conservatives don’t want to stop there. Republicans on the University of Colorado Board of Regents pushed Tuesday for greater intellectual diversity on campus, starting with the hiring of professors and instructors in the humanities who hold right-of-center views. James Geddes, the Republican regent leading the charge, said the university could raise its national reputation by taking “an active approach” in diversifying its academic departments. “If we don’t do that, that’s a dead department. It’s dead,” said Mr. Geddes. “Nobody’s going to challenge anyone else,

Measuring 3km long, 500m wide and 100m high, this menacing wall of sand would look more at home in the Sahara desert than the west coast of France. Due to a quirk of nature, the Great Dune of Pyla has grown to become the largest sand dune in Europe and is marauding inland with such force it is swallowing houses, roads and even a forest. It is located on the Atlantic coast in La Teste-de-Buch, around 60km south-west of Bordeaux, and has ballooned over the centuries to consist of 60million cubic metres of sand. Scroll down for video

The U.S. has identified the mastermind of the Benghazi attack, sources tell Fox News, though the individual apparently is walking free in Libya. The confirmation from multiple sources comes more than seven months after the assault on two U.S. locations in Benghazi, Libya, where four Americans -- including Ambassador Chris Stevens -- were killed. President Obama pledged after the attack that "justice will be done." But one source told Fox News the government is "sitting on" information. "We basically don´t want to upset anybody, and the problem is, if Ambassador Stevens´ family knew that we were sitting on information

As a conservative, picking out things you don´t like about Barack Obama is kind of like pointing to the wettest part of the ocean. It also goes beyond politics. Not only is Barack Obama wrong politically, he´s not a good guy, "cool," or even moderately likable. To the contrary, he´s one of the nastiest, least admirable people in politics and he gets by based on a phony persona he created when he ran for President in 2008 -- along with the help of press corps liberals that work to protect him like

The King of Glib sure isn’t ready for the serious business of actually getting things done. President Obama shined at Saturday night’s press dinner in front of the gold curtain, floating on a sea of sequined gowns and penguin suits, tossing out witty and daring one-liners. But standing there at Tuesday’s press conference talking about terrorism, chemical weapons and all the problems of governing, Mr. Obama looked and sounded like a bad performance of a sad parody of former President George W.

Of course, if the group of high-powered liberal billionaires and Democratic party fundraisers are successful in buying the Times, that’s just peachy with them. They are all totally oblivious to the riotous irony of opposing the purchase of a media outlet because they fear ideological contamination, while embracing a rival group’s effort to buy the paper who will ideologically contaminate the coverage anyway — except it happens to be an ideology with which they agree.

It is a shopworn technique of hard-line conservatives to declare themselves men and women of principle in contrast to those other Republicans — the ones, you know, who pass legislation and try to represent their constituents. It is both self-serving (presuming principles are of no matter to opponents) and lazy in that it is always easy to say no, ridicule compromise and remain pristine rather than trying to improve legislation or introduce an alternative. I’m sorry to say Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is too often falling into the reflexive habit of voting no

A series of official White House photographs brought together by Vanity Fair show the ´lean-back´ nature of Barack Obama´s presidency. The pictures reveal that Mr Obama often exhibits relaxed body language in stressful situations, with legs crossed and a knee raised. Most noticeable of all, the president often has his feet up on his desk. But this is not just any desk - the Resolute desk was given to President Rutherford B. Hayes by Queen Victoria in 1880.
