AMERICA’S MAYOR — NOT AMERICA’S MAYOR

September 12, 2001. Mayor Rudy Julianni is interviewed on a radio program and says “I don’t want to see anybody do anymore goddamn press conferences. Put a moratorium on press conferences. Don’t do another press conference until the resources are in this city. And then come down to this city and stand with us when there are military trucks and troops that we can’t even count.

“Don’t tell me 40,000 people are coming here. They’re not here. It’s too doggone late. Now get off your asses and do something, and let’s fix the biggest goddam crisis in the history of this country.”

The next day he’s filmed talking to resue workers unshaven, in a t-shirt complaining about the “Fedal Gub’ment”.

Yeah, right. That wasn’t Rudy the day after - that was RAY.

While the know-it-alls are making comparrisons of Hurricane Katrina to 9/11, let’s hope the good folks of New Orleans make this comparrison: Meet Ray Nagin, New Orleans Mayor.

He’s the clown responsible for this:

I count 220 busses in this pic. At 60 people per bus that’s 13,000 people that could have been evacuated (in just ONE trip!). This pic is just a mile and a half from the Superdome by the way.

This is the idiot that sent people to the Superdome but forgot to send food or water there for them - “DOH!!”

The people that possess the wherewithall, verve and bootstraps to return to New Orleans and rebuild their lives there are going to evacuate this fool next election day.

On July 4, NASA’s Deep Impact spacecraft concludes a six-month, 268 million mile voyage to comet Tempel 1 by sending a projectile crashing into the cosmic traveler. The impact should create a stadium-sized crater, allowing scientists to study pristine material inside the comet dating back to the formation of our solar system.

I know, it sounds like the opening lines of a screenplay. A movie set in the future as we viewers look back on that fateful, happy day when the scientists were all happy-go-lucky fellas excited to learn what the bowels of a comet could teach them about creation, about humanity, about destruction! Oh, that one small anomoly! A fatal flaw in the calculations! If we had only seen it in time! If we’d only listened to that one young scientist in the basement! You know…the beautiful one that no one took seriously!

Yes! She told us to factor in “World Jump Day” !! World Jump Day changed the orbit of earth! Changed it right into the path of the comet’s exploded pieces. And now…now… well, ..now what?

Anybody else think this is a stupid idea? I don’t know ANYTHING about astronomy, but I know a LOT about movies and anyone that thinks this isn’t a movie just waiting to happen is crazy!!

I am all for exploding comets if they are going to hit the earth and kill us anyway, but blowing one up just to see how they are made? Well… I ‘ve had my butt whacked enough times for THAT kind of thinking to know it’s not a good idea.

Just remember - I told you.

Al Gore is working his way down the chain of command to get some traction on the global warming thing;

Gore Urges Mayors to Fight Global Warming

“Without significant action, he said, the planet would see a dramatic increase in violent storms, infectious disease, deadly heat waves and rising sea levels that will force the evacuation of low-lying cities such as Calcutta, Shanghai and New York City within decades”.

Uh, yeeeeeaaah. (more…)
