Laura: "George??? Where are you?"

W: "Under the bed. In George''s cage. George feel safe in cage."

Laura: "George, you need to do the press conference about the Cyclone."

W: "Ooo! Ooo! George love those. Can I get banana flavor with sprinkles on top?"

Laura: No, George, the storm cyclone. It''s what they call hurricanes over in Asia. They just had one in Myanmar."

W: "Where dat?"

Laura: "In Asia. What they used to call Burma."

W: "Ooo! George got pair of Burma shorts! George like shorts!"

Laura: "No, those are BerMUDA shorts."

W: "Did they have cycle-clones there?"

Laura to Press Secretary Dana Perino: "I''ll just do the press conference myself. Would you give the smirking chimp, er, uh, President his morning banana? He''s...in the cage."

Dana: "Yes ma''am."

Laura:"And watch your fingers! You know how he gets with his bananas."

My *** grandmother lived in shack period. She shared with me when I was 7 years old that her *** roof of her shack was blown off when she was 95 years old. She was screwed up because she had altimers, This was because of a Tornado in Fayetteville Georgia. I look at these pictures of this storm and there is no *** way that these many people died. They want the money that has been allocated to the poverty of the world by Bush 770 million! This is always what happens when the world listens to what America allocates!

Another thing about global warming. Here in America we are told to quit doing anything that will contribute to this warming effect. And maybe we can slow it to some extent.
So, why don%u2019t we quit sending up these Space vehicles? Someone wrote that every time we send one up we generate as much pollution as the entire Country does in a year. Does anyone have any input on this question. This space business is a big money making deal for the big companies, and will not stop. I think that we can all place a bet on that.

Well here we are again with people talking about global warming. Al Gore and many others are saying that the people on this earth are causing this global warming. There is not any doubt that the ice on the poles is melting. But at this point in time no one knows what is causing this warming. This earth has been warming and cooling for millions of years
These people are just like the ones talking against religion. A lot of Scientist are saying that our Universe started with their so called? BIG BANG %u201C. And I say to them, exactly where did this big bang take place? I have yet to receive an answer to that question. And I say to them that my thinking about the way the Universe was made by God is just as valid as what you are trying to tell me. No one knows 100

And Al Gore and others don%u2019t have an answer about this warming either.
This book that Gore wrote has some truth and some fiction. Some countries are not allowing this book to be used to teach children without telling them that parts of it are wrong.

Putting global warming aside, These storms have hit this area of the world for centuries. About every 5 to 10 years a storm of this magnitude hits that area and about the same amount of people die. They have no where to run to because neighboring countries won''t let them cross the borders to safer areas. The entire country of Myanmar has been under water in the past.
On the matter of global warming, the United States and the rest of the developed world are the major contributors to global warming. Everybody would have to stop driving in order to stop the damage, and no American will do that.
It is a shame for American politicians to jump on the "we are holy and great wagon" When they know the people of Myanmar have no where to go when these massive storms hit. Even the monsoons are deadly to Myanmar.
Why don''t the great and holy Americans make the Junta in Mexico clean up their act instead of allowing Mexican drug cartels to operate in the American southwest and have control over Mexican politics in border towns?

[you idiots. if global warming causes so many more hurricanes and cyclones, explain why last year had the least amount of strong, violent, and deadly hurricanes in 13 years?]
[Posted by flsurferdude at 03:15 PM : May 05, 2008]

why are you using a 13 year window? why not use a 500 millisecond window and use that to define a trend ... or the lack of one?

what''s the difference ... as long as it makes your case, right?

[rheola-2009]

Hey little tiny Christian brains - explain this one, please.

You appear to be attempting to bait a particular person, surely he would have enough sense to realise exactly what your post''s are about.

Instead of sticking to the story, all these wannabe poloticians sit on their fat duffs preaching. When a storm hits and destroys everything it its path, all I see are vulgar blogs from mostly morons who have nothing better to do but bash someone or blame it on an administration. GET A LIFE!!

[nolalou]

flsurferdude , if your looking for the IDIOT try looking in the nearest mirror! First of all, more severe storms are a trend, it doesn''t mean they will happen exactly as predicted every year! Global Warming exists, even though your pea brain doesn''t believe it!

[flsurferdude]

you idiots. if global warming causes so many more hurricanes and cyclones, explain why last year had the least amount of strong, violent, and deadly hurricanes in 13 years?

maybe global warming only works when something goes wrong. yeah.
that must be it.
global warming only exists when there''s something to blame on it.
new global warming theory.
it''s called the theory of global warming''s relation to natural disasters.

"To be sure, global warming plays a part in strength and frequency of hurricanes and cyclones." - IRLiberal

Don''t put forth an assumption on your part as fact. Even the leading scientists who originally linked increased hurricane activity with global warming are now having doubts: http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/12/hurricane-expert-reassesses-climate-link/

That''s the problem, there are NO conclusive studies on this yet. Don''t be a condescending tool when you have nothing to back it up.

am from New Orleans, the poor blacks in Louisiana did not evacuate as they were told to. Many of them stay behind to LOOT and RAPE. When people came to get them off the roofs, they SHOT at the rescuers, who then stopped until they got MILITARY ESCORTS. The pathetic

RingADing3

Wow! Is that really what happened? Shoot at rescuers and Rape? I just hope they learn from the failures of the United States during Katrina and wont repeat the same mistakes this administration made. Maybe, we can help them like we are helping Iraq right now. What do you think?

[workingchump]

We need to look into the tornados we are having. I think global warming is to blame for them too. And now we also have "twisters".

[irliberal]

Democrats blame the death toll on Global Warming, George Bush and America.

To be sure, global warming plays a part in strength and frequency of hurricanes and cyclones.

The rest of your diatribe is just a partisan rant, as usual, and - in case you hadn''t figured this part out yet - rational people discard it completely.

[demslie]

I%u2019m appalled at the administration''''s lack of response to the global warming hurricanes. And now we have cyclones as well.

The "Union of Myanmar" is governed by a strict military regime. Myranmar spent Billions on weapons and building its military while the poor nation starves. The people The country is a socialist dictatorship run by geoncidal leaders who could not give a DAMNN about 10,000 dead citizens. But Democrats cannot bring themselves to say a bad word about the Myranmar Goverment. Democrats blame the death toll on Global Warming, George Bush and America.

[demslie]

I%u2019m appalled at the administration''''s lack of response to the global warming hurricanes. And now we have cyclones as well. We have no comprehensive strategy in place whatsoever, let alone a detailed plan of action to mitigate the effects of these cylcones, and mother earth continues to suffer while the administration refuses to go forward and do what%u2019s right for mother earth.

Posted by AL2008

Spoken Like a brainwashed Democrat idiot. And just how are we supposed to control Hurricanes? "And now we have cyclones??" What kind of stupid remark is that?? We have had weather events since the begining of time. But now Democrats can blame them on Bush. Democrats don''t give a DAMNN about the weather. They only care about being angry and blaming the worlds probems on America.

Why did God do this one?

[ringading3]

Blame eco-nuts like "AL2008" for the high price of gas and food!

pollroller1,
I am from New Orleans, the poor blacks in Louisiana did not evacuate as they were told to. Many of them stay behind to LOOT and RAPE. When people came to get them off the roofs, they SHOT at the rescuers, who then stopped until they got MILITARY ESCORTS. The pathetic DUMBOCRAP Governor Blanco "froze" and almost had a nervous breakdown on TV!. She refused many times to let the President bring in the military, until the situation was out of control. She could not face the voters for another term, and is now in hiding! The buffoon Mayor Nagin, who designated New Orleans the Official Chocolate City, was re-elected and has done NOTHING for the CITY! That is how it truly is, from a lifelong resident of New Orleans.
