But the good news is that Bush will be in Florida tomorrow, with his phoney sympathy. The local news says he doesn't usually visit disaster areas, but he's coming to FL. I'm sure we'll see Kerry as well. I heard Jeb Bush say today that Floridians had developed "hurricane amnesia". From the pics, it looks like things are really bad in the Punta Gorda area. Things look so bad its surprising that that death toll is so low. Some friends and I saw the Olympic's opening ceremonies last nite.........they were pretty spectacular. Now if they could only get Bob Costas to shut up for more than 30 seconds, things would be perfect. <g> Did you hear that the Judo contender from Iran refused to fight his Israeli opponent? Pretty lame..........its too bad people insist on bringing politics into the games. ted

RE:"But the good news is that Bush will be in Florida tomorrow, with his phoney sympathy. The local news says he doesn't usually visit disaster areas, but he's coming to FL. I'm sure we'll see Kerry as well." This changes the election. Bush can now buy votes in FL.

RE:"Then the SOB Charley takes a turn, and EVERYBOBY in the 'hood is in the streets celebrating, frankly getting sh-t faced, drinking very heavily... smiling, laughing, exhausted. And you are thinking, and even saying, "better them than us". Until you watch the news the next day... and the days ahead and realize that folks that had a nice reliable life now have absolutely nothing, zero but the shirt on their back. And you look at the look on their faces and you realize that was what you feared." Florida is a dangerous place.
