McCain Gets in Way of Hurrican Preparation

McCain Gets in Way of Hurrican Preparation “Today, Obama stated that he would stay out of the way as Hurricane Gustav once again threatens the Gulf Coast.

He will travel to the Gulf Coast to give a read

Happy Birthday

It's been a great Birthday week-end.  Eli got me this cool LSU water bottle for my birthday and many family & friends called or brought nice gift cards.   Brandi cooked up some of our old favorites from Louisiana.  Saturday night, we invited some friends over to sample some of the savory, rich cajun cuisine.  In fact, we're so far removed from eating that kind of rich food, that we're sick tonight from the feast.  Now back on our regular diet.   For today, on my birthday, we went to churc read

Much of RNC opening canceled

If they thought the government would respond competently then, seems to me, they could hold a dignified session while pointing out how much better a Republican administration is doing now. But they aren’t, and they want George Bush nowhere near any of them as Gustav hits. I’m not buying the McCain excuse that he doesn’t want delegates in party hat read

You could either call it an odd early breakfast or a very late dinner - hey, hurricane watching makes me hungry. I actually stayed up for the 5:00 am NHC discussion. Late last night a friend sent me an excerpt from New Orleans meteorologist Bob Breck's blog post - Bob is respected by many here for his low key, non panicky approach to hurricane watching and forecasting.
