only if it's a legitimate storm threat...

Being from Tampa I can say if they predict it hitting this far out it is the best news and spaghetti model moves daily. BUT, if Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel shows up on your beach time to fly as he is always Rocky when big storms are really coming.

Maybe if the GOP sacrifices the idiot wanna be Senator who knows nothing about womens rights the storm will take him out. Tie him to a buey in center of the Gulf as a backup..........

Can't be any worse than hurricane Akin

So what do republicans claim when a storm hits other parts of the country? "God is punishing them for something." Perhaps their god is trying to send them a message, "stop using my name to justify your greed and bigotry, stop spreading hate and fear, stop destroying my planet."

BodyDouble,

Maybe their god is going to speak to them, huh?

Liberal Maude said, " God will get you for that". Gotta picture Bea Arthur in heaven directing this storm to soak the many wet-heads attending this three ring circus called the Republican Convention. Always loved the character and the actress. The record amount of stinking seaweed washing ashore on our beaches may also be her welcome mat to the foul smelling GOP. The man upstairs has given her free hand to prevent old naked Republican men from soiling the waters of our beautiful Gulf Of Mexico as they did in The Sea of Galilee. Tiny shrunken organs under bulbous bellies of empty headed old farts is enough to give anybody cold chills. Would someone please erase that picture from my mind?

LMAO..even mother nature hates the republicans!

More evidence that God hates Republicans ... She wants to destroy their convention the way She destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. A fitting response to the Tea Party.

Wouldn't that be a bummer, another Hurricane Charlie steaming right into Tampa Bay just in time to ruin the best laid plans of mice and men??? I don't think that it could happen to a bunch of more-deserving guys myself!!! What are the Republican back-up plans, eh? Maybe two weeks later in Houston, so another Hurricane Rita can ruin that weekend too?

Perhaps this is God's way of challenging that theory that the Republicans have about global warming?

Perhaps an omen of things to come?

But this tropical storm will be nothing compared to the storm which will sweep the Republican Party out of Congress in the November elections, and will yield a landslide reelection for President Obama.

Once the American voters -- especially American women -- get a long, leisurely look at the newly minted Official Republican Party Platform (which looks like something that was written by a 12th Century clan of intolerant misogynists) the beginning of the end for the 21st Century GOP will be evident.

I personally know two Republicans who have changed their voter registration to "Independent" in just the few days since Mr. Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running mate (and these are people who stayed with the GOP through the Sarah Palin embarrassment to our country in 2008, and for the past 4 years). They both expressed that they felt the party had abandoned them, and had abandoned middle class and compassionate Americans.

I too am an Independent. I would be uncomfortable to associate myself with today's Democratic Party. But I would be deeply ashamed to be associated with the Republican Party.

I think we can anticipate a mathematically significant abandonment of the party by remaining moderate Republicans who can no longer stand the almost daily embarrassment caused them by Republican party "leaders" and the extremist force that their formerly Grand Old Party has become.

Well, they said Haiti "got it" because they practiced voodoo.

As far as I can tell, Akin and his party practice voodoo science - so here comes the storm, old men!

Have any of you gone and looked at Akin's House of Representatives website?

akin.house.gov

Really too funny! I guess that's the kind of America he wants to take us "back" to!

(I don't think women could vote then and blacks were segregated.)

The strip clubs will be happy

Tropical Storm Isaac potential threat to GOP convention in Tampa

It's going to be blamed on Obama.

Gov Rick PArry to the rescue!!

It's "pray-a-thon" time! (cheers!!!)

"Gawd really needs your Social Security checks right now."

Quick! Call Billy Graham! Get him to put up a god-shield!

The biggest threat to the GOP is the GOP -

just as the biggest threat to America is the GOP.

It's God's way of telling the GOP they're full of... :)

Dam, I was just going to say that lol thanks jeff

Falwell and Roberts will explain this to us-- it's God's response to the feminists, ACLU, liberalism....

and almost everybody above beat me to the obvious "it's a sign from god" ----

If this response has already been offered I didn't read it. But I believe this potential hurricane is just perfect for the Republican GOP convention for this reason: these people are always talking about what organizers they are. What planners they are. What creators they are. Well maybe this is just the proof America needs to show these charlatans for what they are... opportunistic fame-seekers or God-fearing tea partiers and not organizers, planners, fixers or leaders.

Republicans tend to point the finger and the blame for the economic woes of our country on Barack Obama, claiming that the president has had time to fix this economy and he has failed.

Well let's see how your party, all by yourselves, handles the potential disruption of your party's major platform introduction of your nominees for president and vice-president of the United States of America while Todd Akin rides into Tampa on a hurricane.

Gang, get the popcorn. This one's got real entertainment potential!

Tropical Storm Isaac potential threat to GOP convention in Tampa

It's going to be blamed on Obama.

LMAO!! You know it!!

I wonder if Pat Robertson would see this as a message from God that the GOP are on the wrong path?

Bwahahahahahaha.

Obama/Biden 2012

Just a sign and confirmation from God that Republicans will take the 2012 election by storm. Just imagine the additional media attention and reference to the Convention!!

If the hurricane should interrupt the use of the convention center, perhaps FEMA can be pressed into service to bring over some slightly-used trailers (the TP'ers should feel right at home) after W does one of his patented fly-overs.

Just a sign from God that the GOP is just so much white trash being blown around by a mass of hot air.

Everyone above took all the good lines. Guess I will gather my toys, go home and wait for the storm.

Looks like the good Lord will flood the bastards pretending to do things in his name... and what an apt Biblical name for that event!

If you're wondering whose side God is really on, you'll have to wait and see what actually happens. It may be a complete miss or a dead-on hit.

Afterwards, we'll know whether God is a Republican or Democrat.

Of course, we should really wait 'til after the Dem convention in NC to analyze God's politics.

Nothing like Hurricane Enema to clean the RNC out of your system! Hell, I live in the area and pray for the hurricane cause I know I can survive that, but putting up with 20,000 obnoxious, drunk, fat. old bald white guys is more than I can take!

In the local news today, apparently the cops found some bricks and a pipe on a roof yesterday and it made huge headlines as an activists arsenal, but I found the mother lode stash of the protesters too! There are bricks, pipes, wood and cement all over the place......................oh wait a minute, it's a construction site............. better call in the FBI!

It would amaze you to see the money they have spent to polish TampaTurdTown up for the RNC, stuff we wouldn't have had for the next 10 years is here now, cause in the RNC money talks and bullsheet comes from the top! We also have an additional boatload of CCTV cameras set up (for the delgates protection, not to take pics of the protesters and use them in court against them), that will likely remain here indefinitely.

If the Hurricane hits in a timely manner (Tuesday or Wednesday), we could probably write the whole thing off as a bad dream, however our tiddy bar based economy will suffer a huge hit, as they have brought in thousands of women to make the whole convention one big Happy Ending! How will our hookers survive if this gets rained out? They'll be thrown out on the streets! Fortunately, we will have the "Job Creators" right here to create more jobs for our strippers and hookers (you know....the trickle down theory!), so our economy could get a giant boost from the influx of cash (strip clubs, porn movies, weed etc.) And the star of the convention isn't Mittens Rmoney, it's a stripper who looks a lot like Sarah (Is that Russia I see in your pants or are you just happy to see me?) Palin. Now she looks like Vice Presidential material!

Looks like Isaac has a bullseye on Florida just in time for the convention.

From The Weather Channel:

Now if you believe in "divine messages".....

The difference between God and most Republicans?

God has a sense of humor. He must.

That's the truth!!! I will tune into the 700 Club just to hear how a hurricane can be a blessing, too...HA

The storms name is Isaac.lol Which means... "He laughs".

The rain must fall on both the good and the bad. Now if the storm splits in half and leaves the republican convention in sunshine while all those around get pounded, then we can entertain God sending a message.

Jersey *cough tea-bagger coughcough*

Everybody Drink!

Obama 2012/Romney 1040

I am a LIBERAL! I guarantee you I follow Jesus' instruction more closely than any Conservative. What I am not is a hypocrite.

The conservatives claims to be Christians but every thing they do in certainly unchristian. Christ would not approve of taking from the poor and give to the rich !

JERSY GIRL 1

Considering most of you Liberals do not believe in God, I am surprised at your comment.

Where do you get this stuff?

She gets it straight from the carefully constructed image of liberalism Liberals are communists, atheists, and are intent on destroying all personal freedoms and rights, and take away all your hard earned money and spread it out to all the lazy asses laying on mother's couch, and want to support welfare mama's with your tax money, and want to capitulate militarily all around the world, and on and on and on. There are highly paid demagogues that carefully polish this image daily. It has no existence in any reality other than in the minds of those who are tricked into thinking this constructed image is real. And to me all that begs the question of who created this false image, and why?

Jersey girl...the church of: blessed are the rich, it is harder for a poor man to get to heaven than it is to go through the eye of the needle, screw the masses because this is our fish and bread...they should have brought their own.

Lois B

I follow Jesus' instruction more closely than any Conservative

And how does this statement work with the true standards of God?

Love you neighbor as yourself. You can follow a checklist of what to do and not to do and still fail to get to heaven according to scripture. Following a checklist doesn't make you better than another.

DB - spin it any way you want, Lois' point was well made. You can go over with the X-tians now.

Jersey Girl, a true Christian knows not to blow his own horn. He knows that hypocrisy is the only sin much greater than all of the others. He knows that following Christ is the only thing that makes one a Christian and it is a most difficult challenge. He knows that grandstanding at church once a week does not absolve him from breaking the Ten Commandments every other day of the week. Yes, many liberals are also Christians.

The only anger ever expressed by Jesus Christ was when He threw the money-changers out of the temple. Contemplate that example and think about how many money changers and hypocrites He may toss out of heaven. Do you really believe belonging to a particular political party gives one a free pass? Do you really think that picking two or three convenient ancient verses out of the Bible to champion as your own self-righteous cause makes you Christ-like? Even when you repeatedly break all other commandments?

True Christianity is personally following Jesus Christ by faith alone. It is not following hypocrites that lead by falsely using Christ's name to condemn a huge populace that disagree with their politics. A much closer look within yourself and your political party may save your soul.

Christ greatly multiplied a few fishes and loaves to feed the multitudes. Republican leadership hoards their fishes and loaves as well as the fishes and loaves selfishly confiscated from the multitudes through deliberate deception. They then call the multitudes bums too lazy to feed themselves and dependent on "entitlements". "Entitlements" like Social Security and Medicare that the multitudes have paid into all of their lives.

The only anger ever expressed by Jesus Christ was when He threw the money-changers out of the temple. Contemplate that example and think about how many money changers and hypocrites He may toss out of heaven.

WWJI? (Where would Jesus Invest?) Not with Bain Capital obviously.

• Perhaps God is reminding them He's NOT a Republican

alsophia theophilos: oh that's an easy question to answer, the NAZIS. It's who today's Republican party is modeled after

Sophia Theophios-Man, where do you get that quality of weed you've been smokin, cause the RNC is in town and they will pay BIG BUCKS for the really good stuff. You must have been trippin your balls off when you wrote that crap above, cause you almost had me believing it!!

When you say "There are highly paid demagogues that carefully polish this image daily", is that code for "you found a hooker to polish your knob"?, cause that's funny man, I don't care who you are! I can understand why you don't want to support welfare mammas with your tax money too, cause there is no sense wasting money on those damn women if your not gettin any!

But, from your picture it looks like you might be a man of the cloth, but don't worry, there are lots of muscular, tanned, surfer-type young boys to go around for the priests too! Just call the Republican Office for Procuring Young Boys (PYB) Hotline.

"God is NOT spelled GOP"

Fla Native,

Sounds to me that in your world the restless are native tonight.

No need of hooker polished knobs, nor muscular young boys. Maybe the convention goers might. Twould be somewhat funny to find out that some of those ultra-conservative family value reichwingers got too drunk and loose and knocked up some chick, then got caught taking her to an abortion clinic.

If I had some of that killer weed I'd probably pass you the joint. You know how social pot is.

LOL! Yes, Andy, you made me laugh. And yes, I do feel guilty about it....

@Andy, I wouldn't be too sure. That's what his last litter thought just before he crushed them all.

They can shelter-in-place underneath Gov. Christie.

ROTFLMAO!! Oh that's some cold stuff. OMG! LMFAO!!!

God does not hear the prayers of Pat Robertson.

The only thing God has to say to Pat Robertson is "will you just shut up you nitwit"

no expletives, God doesn't use bad words

No it will be because of the idiots that skinny dipped in the sea of galilee.

@ron;They just found bricks stored on a business roof in Tampa, with the "99" symbol for anarchist on the building. So you are correct. Also Joe Biden is coming on a campaign stop during the RNC,lol, so they have 2 possibly 3 party crashers coming.

All of you Libs are unbelievable. If a woman isn't Liberal, OMG, there must be something wrong with

There's nothing wrong with many sane conservative women. There's a lot wrong with the so called "conservative" men. Barry Goldwater is spinning in his grave right now. I used to consider myself a conservative..the Libertarian kind...but with the present state of the Republican party I have no other alternative then to distance myself as far as I can.

Jack the last I heard there is around a dozen Democrats bowing out of their convention. Perhaps many more would hope a hurricane hits theirs so they have a better excuse to miss their's.

Maybe nothing wrong...but definitely stupid. Why any woman would vote repub is beyond me.

"There's nothing wrong with many sane conservative women. "

Good point --- sane, conservative. Today's Republican is NOT conservative. Real conservatives believe in SMALL government. Today's Republicans believe in small government for business only. When it comes to personal choices and what they consider morality -- the current Republican Party believes in huge, massive government dominating and intruding in even the most personal issues on your life.

I am just pointing out the "Women are Meat" Republicans are mostly racist bigots, who grew up believing women are second class citizens.

I can't deny there must be an underlying reason somewhere. We all know the things we learn as children stick with a lot of folks their entire lives.

In the Republican "Women are Meat" Party, Congressmen refused to allow a woman to even speak about the rights of women in front of Congress, even though she had been invited to testify in front of the all-white panel of Republican Men! Sandra Fluke was shouted down, not given a chance to speak! Rush Limbaugh called her a slut for even daring to address Congress!

The Republican Party has not learned to accept diversity, nor the rights of any woman to choose her own destiny. "Women are Meat" Republicans want to control the medications she takes, the form of birth control a woman may decide she will accept in her life, and her ability to plan the size of her family, except by way of celebacy or a "pill between her legs", as one "Women are Meat Republican" plainly stated!

It makes me think that Republican men, on a whole, are becoming deniers! They steep themselves in religious dogma, claim to be God's gift to America, while waving the flag of glory as their banner of righteousness! Republicans deny the Constitution! Republicans deny that the Constitution was written and promoted, not by Christians, but by open-minded Deists, who understood the dangers of allowing Religious fervor to take presidence over our laws! Puritans left England to get away from the Religious Right, and the Republicans have resurrected it, and want to strangle our laws and our women with it!

Republicans refute the teachings of Christ and instead rally behind the Old Testament. You know, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. smiting, starving, hating one's brother and all! Republicans strive to turn the waters of the River Jordan red again! They would use nuclear devastation to tear down the walls of Iran! I can only tell you the things I hear them say in public about killing and destruction of anyone who is not Christian!

Jesus taught us to love our neighbor, go out of our way to help those needing help, while Republicans want the poor children in our country to starve, reduce their access to 32 billion in Food Stamp help under Ryan's Budget, lose the ability to see a doctor, and Republicans vow to give our taxes for infrastructure repair to the rich.

Jesus hated the money-changers, while the "Republican Woman are Meat Party" bow down to the Koch Brothers, who mine black death from the bowels of the earth, and refuse to pass regulations to make it a cleaner enterprise. Republicans froth at the mouth because Obama, our President, would delay the building of the XL pipeline, which brings us heavier-than-water shale tar to pollute our rivers and drinking water!

While Jesus charges us with planet maintenance and protections for the wildlife, too many Republicans want to tear down the forests and sell them to land developers. Republicans deny there is global warming and let the forests burn down, while cutting jobs in forestry and firefighters!

Our planet has 7 Billion polluting folks on it, and Republicans are telling women to go forth and multiply! If women are raped, Republicans say too bad! If a girl is a victim of incest, Republicans offer her no solace and would force her to bear the child, even if the birth would kill her!

WOMEN ARE NOT MEAT!

The Perfect Storm would be if the hurricane occurred INSIDE the Convention Center.

Believe me, it will occur inside the convention center. It will be a fire storm of their own making.

You got that right, Warren.

LOL! You crack me up, James. "Simultaneous flatulence" made me spew my coffee all over my keyboard. Thanks a LOT!!!

;-)

OMG, the tsunami of spewing Starbucks from that "simultaneous flatulence" line have traveled up almost as far as the Canadian border!

If the storm misses the convention, the Republicans will blame it on the Obama scare tactics of the failed prediction policies of the socialist government-run Weather Bureau , and will add a plank to the platform to defund it.

Great comment, seen. These guys will find anything to make a joke out of including someone's possible misery.

JG1

That's a lame comment because you know if a storm threatened the Dem's convention, you would find that funny.

Fear not, as it approaches the south east the intellectual, economical and moral vacuum that is the District of Columbia will pull the storm toward that city. Just like a black hole, nothing escapes D.C.. Heh-Heh.

Oh and just so you know, most people of all political stripes thinks the dufus from Missouri is an idiot. SO you lib clowns have no monopoly on that either.

@seen too much and JERSEY GIRL 1, I've been through a hurricane also. Also tornados and earthquakes. Hurricanes in South Texas as well as the tornados. Not very good

Earthquakes happened during time living in Athens, Greece with parents and as adult in California.

I have a brother in Jax and he just shrugs all the 'canes off. I live in South Carolina and could care, especially in light of the fact we get both hurricanes and earthquakes (small ones I admit on the last).

I don't want anyone crying me a river. @!$%# happens and since it's probably gonna happen during the Convention makes it a joke. That doesn't mean it's not serious, but there's just too much joke value. Enjoy the jokes and don't take the 'Vine so seriously. Most of the people posting aren't Liberal, or as Liberal as some may think.

Live a little and enjoy.

Yeah, I lived in Miami in 92 and was out of work for a month. I've lived in South Florida since 57 and we just take them in stride. Some are worse than others but you get your act together, hunker down and start cleaning up. You take what the weather gives you and deal with it. Sometimes people die, lose houses even lose jobs. It's part of what you accept living in Florida.

Nobody is trying to make a joke out of someone's potential misery. This scenario is just too ripe for jokes at the republicans expense. Please, you'd be doing the same thing if it were the Dems. As someone who rode out Hugo in 89 (will NEVER EVER do that again......young, stupid and lucky), I know exactly what they could be in for. Lighten up, they can always pray the storm away, I guess, right?

Well said..... @!$%# happens and since it's probably gonna happen during the Convention makes it a joke. That doesn't mean it's not serious, but there's just too much joke value. Enjoy the jokes and don't take the 'Vine so seriously.

Herman Cain was right about one thing, America has lost its sense of humor.

Please, you'd be doing the same thing if it were the Dems

No, I wouldn't. I don't joke about other peoples' misery. I've lived in FL for decades; and, yes, you do take hurricanes in stride. I'm not saying you panic over them; however, everything I wrote has actually happened either to me, to family members, or to people around me because of hurricanes. It's not like I exaggerated anything or made it up. I've also lived in tornado country myself, and I've seen the effects of that-I've even seen a few funnels live. I actually love weather and find it fascinating-I just hate that people are sometimes hurt. While I've been known to indulge in a bit of gallows humor at times myself, and I certainly don't object to humor, what I object to here is the almost gleeful attitude that goes with it-there's almost an attitude of "they deserve it" with the hurricane. That's all fine, but do you think my family deserves it as well?

i.e.,

If hurricane impacts #RNC2012 it's because Charlie Crist didnt place prayer at Western Wall.

Liberal Maude said, " God will get you for that". Gotta picture Bea Arthur in heaven directing this storm to soak the many wet-heads attending this three ring circus called the Republican Convention. Always loved the character and the actress. The record amount of stinking seaweed washing ashore on our beaches may also be her welcome mat to the foul smelling GOP. The man upstairs has given her free hand to prevent old naked Republican men from soiling the waters of our beautiful Gulf Of Mexico as they did in The Sea of Galilee.

LMAO..even mother nature hates the republicans!

Wouldn't that be a bummer, another Hurricane Charlie steaming right into Tampa Bay just in time to ruin the best laid plans of mice and men??? I don't think that it could happen to a bunch of more-deserving guys myself!!!

Joking is one thing, but this is like the kind of mean-spirited jokes when a man calls his wife fat in public then laughs and says he was only joking. "Come on honey! Can't you take a joke? Where's your sense of humor?" As if she is the one with the problem. How would you like it if I was joking about God punishing you with a hurricane?

Nicodemus1946 - Just so you know, most people of all political stripes thinks the dufus from Missouri is an idiot. SO you lib clowns have no monopoly on that either.

Then why is there a plank in your "political stripes'" platform saying abortion should be illegal in all cases - even rape and incest? Hmm?

It's been there since 2004 - did ya'll just join the party?

Hmmm.... What was that called when Bush & Cheney were the illegal occupants of the White House...?

Oh, yeah, "collateral damage."

@Nicodemus1946

"... just so you know, most people of all political stripes thinks the dufus from Missouri is an idiot. SO you lib clowns have no monopoly on that either."

Are you including the voters of Rep. Todd Akins' Missouri Congressional District who have elected this "Tea Party Caucus" member to Congress SIX TIMES?

And are you including the Republican Majority Leadership in the US House of Representatives who have named Rep. Todd Akin to serve on the:

• Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics
• Subcommittee on Energy and Environment

Hmm, seems there are actually quite a few in Missouri and the Republican Party who haven't gotten the "dufus idiot" memo about Todd Akin. Or, are those just not the political stripes you included?

Sorry. It's just that being one of the "Lib clowns" you derisively referenced, I would sort of appreciate clarification, that's all.

The GOP is already a disaster so what is wrong with adding a little water to the mix?

SeenTooMuch--lighten up!! My daughter and her family live in the Tampa area, and I find the jokes funny. If they have to evacuate, they'll evacuate. The jokes are about the hypocrisy of the Republican Party, not the potential suffering of anybody caught in the path of a hurricane.

The next storm may cause all that and more. Our Republican administration in FL have created the perfect after-storm. What happens when people find out insurers won't pay claims, just "reimburse" you for the repairs you make? No one will have the money it takes to rebuild. Governor Scott will be known as the Gov who bankrupted Florida.

JerseyGirl = hypocrite

SeenTooMuch--lighten up!! My daughter and her family live in the Tampa area, and I find the jokes funny.

Tampa hasn't been directly hit or greatly affected by four hurricanes in the past several years like my family has. When you have had family members DIRECTLY affected by hurricanes like I have-I mean injured because of them and having had damage to their homes from them-then we can talk about whether you find the jokes funny.

This reminds me of how my family used to tease me mercilessly about being fat when I was a child. Maybe they thought it was okay because I wasn't really fat-I was actually kind of skinny, just not as skinny as one of my other siblings. The problem was that as a child I didn't KNOW that I wasn't really fat, and the teasing really hurt my feelings. It was really hilarious to them but not funny at all to me. Years later I became anorexic. Now everyone tells me I should lighten up about all the teasing, that it had nothing to do with me being anorexic; but I think I'm a better judge of what went into my becoming anorexic. (No, the teasing was not by any means the only thing, but it contributed because it gave me a distorted body image, making me think I was fat when I wasn't. Distorted body image is one of the three criteria for anorexia.)

So-what does that story have to do with this one? Well, you guys think these jokes about God smiting the GOP with a hurricane are hilarious just like my family thought the jokes about me being fat were hilarious. However, I, with family in the path of the hurricane that may smite the GOP-my family is on the east coast-don't find such jokes all that funny, just like I, as the person being teased for being fat didn't find the fat jokes all that funny. I have actually experienced direct harm from hurricanes. I also experienced harm from the fat jokes. People who have no idea what I've gone through tell me to "lighten up" in both cases. Can't I feel the way I feel without you guys finding fault with me?

All I did in my first post was to ask if you guys had any idea what you were joking about. I acknowledged that you were joking. I never said you couldn't continue to joke. You act like there is something wrong with me because I happen to be pointing out that hurricanes are a serious issue. I'm pointing it out because of all the hurricanes I've been through. Obviously most of you haven't been through one, though some of you have.

(As for the people who say they completely blow off all hurricanes like the person mentioned in Jacksonville, thinking that makes them seem tough or worldly or whatever, I think it only makes you seem imprudent. You have obviously never been through one-the Jacksonville area has not been hit by a hurricane in decades. You don't want to be the ones on TV screaming for water and for FEMA to rescue you if a storm ever actually hits your area, maybe even a minor storm depending on where you live. I'm certainly not against the government helping you, but they can't always get to you right away after a storm. The South FL area got a very rude awakening with Hurricane Andrew in 1992-many people were not at all prepared, not that you can prepare for a storm that rips your house off its foundation. 2004 was another rude awakening with both Frances and Jeanne. People now know much better how to prepare. A prudent person doesn't freak out; but they at least do the basics to prepare like getting water, non-perishable food, extra cash, filling the car with gas, protecting windows, etc.)

Seen too much--I'm sorry. The jokes really ARE about the Republican party, not the possibility of anybody getting hurt by the hurricane. I certainly meant no offense to you.

@seen too much

"This reminds me of how my family used to tease me mercilessly about being fat when I was a child.

The problem was that as a child I didn't KNOW that I wasn't really fat, and the teasing really hurt my feelings. It was really hilarious to them but not funny at all to me."

I know just what you mean. when I was young I was pretty skinny, had a super-active metabolism and couldn't gain a pound to save my life (even while chugging protein milkshakes several times daily to try to make a higher wrestling weight class, but to no avail).

My younger and older sisters constantly commented how skinny I was, and it bothered me a lot. But now in middle age I am 25 pounds overweight. So I guess I showed them, and I got the last laugh! HA!!

Oh, wait. Crap! Never-mind .....

:-(

Alan, thanks. Apology readily accepted.

A++++++++++++. Outstanding.

Your avatar had me laughing before I even read your insightful (and hilarious) comment. Thanks for the chuckle.

I've got to stop drinking coca-cola in the morning while reading these comments... coca-cola kinda stings when it comes back out through your nose!

Nice try bro, but the only thing that attacks fat white males in Miami is type II diabetes....

Actually, most clubs are not looking for anything like the Super Bowl people. However, rumor has it the Three Doll House will have a stripper with an uncanny resemblance to a certain northern wilderness state governor. You betcha!!

Yes, they had a picture of that stripper on a news story the other day. She's younger than said ex-gov, fortunately.

Yo, Luke, that was cold-blooded....

Strippers prefer black guys - white guys are too pathetic and dress like they're homeless.

Yes, and there's another distinct difference: The storm blows. Romney sucks.

You beat me to it! LMFAO

Either way, it's going to be the biggest blow job in American politics since Monica Lewinsky was in the news.

White fat fux float....

How biblical. A hurricane named Isaac shows up when when those self-righteous, fundamentalist "Christians." hit town. Karma is an understatement.

My thoughts exactly. I am sure they would spin it to be Obama's fault.

Obama/Biden 2012 Romney/Ryan 1040

Let me guess Dale, you are an old fat white man with type II diabetes.

Repuke Tea Bag Party = Do everything to undermine the poor, elderly, any minority and the working class behind closes doors as they go house to house. But once a member shows his face he is kicked out of the club. = KKK

Go Blow Romney/Ryan Dale

sam adams

stop it. snorting coffee into my keyboard wrecks my day.

Irony is just another fancy word used by those liberal eletists........

@theezle -- They're going to send a special rescue squad and a bunch of EMTs from Key West, bitch, so pucker up.

I'm an Obama fan, but that was funny!

@Summerlight-2713606,

Will your mama be the tent at the Republican's conventions?

I'm just asking because i heard she had a big azz windbag of a baby.
