We got some major global cooling go on over here. weather.com It rained for about 8 hours straight on Friday - unheard of! Longest rain spell I remember in the past 6 years was about 10 minutes. A day after the rains, many Sharjah streets lie submerged By Mariam M. Al Serkal, Staff Reporter gulfnews.com Sharjah: A day after the heavy rains, Sharjah residents are struggling to get back to their normal life. Many streets are blocked to traffic due to water logging, and many more buildings are surrounded by sheets of water that are at times a foot deep, and potholes have surfaced overnight on many roads. Commercial and residential areas limped back to normality following Saturday's heavy rainfall only to face more rains yesterday. "My car was stuck in the parking lot and I could not go anywhere, the situation was terrible and the road has been flooded from all sides," said Yaqoub, who was standing next to the Emirates Banking Institute waiting for the water to be drained.

LOL. Talk to some of the folks on this thread and they would swear that's not true. :) In fact some would consider it unpatriotic to admit they drove less this past year.

"The challenge for Republicans -- and for such presidential aspirants as John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney in particular -- is how to bridge the widening gap between their Southern base and the rest of the nation. The persistence of Southern exceptionalism is clear in the networks' exit polls, in which fully half of Southern voters identified themselves as born-again or evangelical Christians, while just one-third of the entire nation's voters did so. It's clear from the fact that in a period of broad economic stagnation, the populism of working-class Southern whites, like a record stuck in a groove, remains targeted more against cultural than economic elites." This the gap I was discussing in an earlier post. While the gap isn't as great as between Westerners and Muslims......Westerners and Muslims don't live in the same country.
