Tropical Storm Hanna is coming, and will hit hurricane speeds by Sunday. While I sincerely hope no lives are lost - what the hell where they thinking praying for rain?

1. They'll just nuke Iran and/or Russia and cancel the elections altogether.
Bush won't have to worry about a replacement.

Beware of cornered rats.

2. If we get back to back nasty storms...
and the Repuke convention ends up being postponed/canceled, send e-mails of faux outrage to Focus on the Family for their prayers.

4. That's not all...
Elsewhere in the tropics




Like the ocean, the atmosphere also has waves. Large-scale atmospheric waves form over Africa during the African summer monsoon season, track east to west, and emerge over the Atlantic Ocean near the Cape Verde Islands, where they often serve as the nucleus for a powerful Cape Verdes-type hurricane. Well, the African Easterly Wave Factory is exceptionally busy right now, and there are three very impressive looking waves with plenty of spin lined up across the continent (Figure 3).

6. News flash: Hurricane Obama leaves GOP in shambles...
Worse yet to come as the GOP parties on the Titanic.

What were they thinking, returning to the scene of their worst crime against humanity to party at a political convention?
