#1 I wonder... if I point out that Rita's strength dropped some 50% before hitting shore, will these same people be blaming the Secret Halliburton Weather Manipulation Machine?

#2 I think Fred's on to something. 2005 looks to be the first odd numbered year since 1999 when we will not topple a wacked out dictator ship in a muslim country. Maybe God is punishing us and we need to atone by taking out Baby Assad or something. It's worth a try.

#4 I'm not a theologian, but since we get hurricanes every year, is there some schedule where we should pause and ponder, shun our arrogance, and all that? Every March, maybe, when spring comes?

Yep, the kids do it every years - it's call Spring Break. The usual sacrifices and orations to the gods - something on the line of Baccus. However, it is never to be done before Spring Equinox as it will be ineffective in placating the deities of wind, water, and hot air.

#5 "placating the deities of wind, water, and hot air"

So, HO4672, when exactly did you start thinking of Ted Kennedy as a diety? ;-p

(I realize Teddy has thought of himself that way from the womb.)

#7 if another 10 - 15 hurricanes hit in the next month, we might look like Pakland

#8 If the Valero refinery in Port Arthur was the worst damaged one, is that some sort of sign from above?

#9 "Texas capital of Housten..."

Austin is the capital of Texas. More low level lieing "journalism".
