coriolis effect, bitchez!
Gun-grab, round two, bitchez!
No where near a Katrina outcome.
That's because The Bernank has made hurricanes irrelevant as an economic issue. In fact, they are now bullish!
I'm not thinking crude so much as I'm thinking gasoline. There's a lot of refiners that will shut down if that thing heads just a little bit west.
Hide yo' gunz.
On second thought, nevermind. This looks like a dud. I didn't realize it was already at NO.
I heard several refiners were already shut down. Too many reasons not to. I haven't heard much on Cushings inventories lately, but with the economy slow I think they are still topped off.
Strong CAT 1 storm .... Yawn. My dog farts harder.
Better yet, break 'em out!
Has the looting started yet?
It stopped?
Damn! Now the Saints won't be able to use the Superdome again this year. Got reservations?
This guy is a slow mover. watch for twice the amount of rain fall then katrina and a larger storm surge up the rivers and levys because of the slow speed and angle of the storm.
The storm may not be as large and fast like katrina but a slow and steady storm will do more damage!!!!
Remember, it was not the winds that wiped out New Orleans but the WATER!
So youre saying its not so much about size as it is speed and angle?
pleez tell that to my wife
Thanks everybody we will be here all week! Dont forget to tip your waitstaff!
The angel of the dangle is in direct proportion to the heat of the meat if the rate of ass is constant.
Constant? Everyone knows the rate of ass expands with time.
A marginally endowed woman asks he husband about what she could do to enlarge her bust.
He suggested that several time a day she fold some toilet paper and rub it between her breasts.
She did this for several months to no avail, and she expressed her dismay to her husband and asked what was wrong?
He said- I dunno, but it sure worked well on your ass!
Crash, Bang, Boom...
Where does the "square of the hair" fit into yer equation? :>D
"Remember, it was not the winds that wiped out New Orleans but the WATER!"

will Ray Nagin be helping out?
"will Ray Nagin be helping out?"
Nah, "The Noggin" is probably more worried about going to jail for some of the crap he pulled in office.
Since this storm formed it was nothing but a glorified set of thunderstorms then magically, just before landfall the windspeed reaches 75 mph so it can be called a hurricane (marginally).
How many here realise that when a hurricane is declared there is an automatic 2% deduction on homeowners insurance?
I can easily visualize the insurance companied frantically calling NOAA this AM demanding a hurricane declaration.
As the Church Lady said: How Conveeenient!
I Learn Something Every Day +1
BINGO
I was in the Keys when Isaac hit. This is just a set of storms. Sorry, but do not believe the hype. Isaac has noteeth. The survival of New Orleans this time around will be trumped up to the fantastic competence of our Messiah. "Change" Anything goes in an election year.
What a brilliant photo ops.
President on the ground at the Superdome, handing out ponchos and blankets, while Rs redefine rape.
"No where near a Katrina outcome."
The projected path (just west of NO), and the angle of attack, make it potentially much worse than Katrina. Unfavorable atmospheric conditions, however, coupled with improved levees, may prove you correct.
When Tyler said "Just because everyone is now a climate expert.."
I think he was being sarcastic.
More like flat screen TV grab...

I gotta feeling folks won't be turning 'em over so easily this time.
BUSH's FAULT!!!
That's Pelosi's new name for the San Andreas, right?
Epic media-hype hurricane FAIL.
Oh, well. We've still got a shot at the Blizzard of the Century.
After all, one or two of them come every winter!
It's all good the One has dispatched FEMA to shepherd his sheep.
also the One has promised unlimited paralegals to help treat any wounded sheeples
"Thank you, U.S. taxpayer!"
Yes it is a sad day for the fear pumpers. Turned out to be a dud.
Fema row boats r a cumin
Watch and remember!! Wait till you see the part "Strong Persuasion". HAHAHAHAHA

It doesn't have far to go before it reaches shore - it'll then lose energy and turn back into a strong storm system. Maybe it will bring some much needed rain back to the heartland. It's only 75 miles from shore... moving currently at 10mph... not very fast so hopefully it doesn't build up too much energy from this point. Still, all the anchors at MSNBC, CNN, etc. were just waiting for this to happen so they could get out of Tampa :)
HAARPicane Isaac!
This is all because people spin too much
yep, my exact thought while watch this
http://weathermodels.org/models/wrf_nmm/gulf/pmsl/animation.html
Drought stricken states welcome the rain....provided to you by Obummer the messiah. Thank goodness he slowed the storm just enough to provide a good rain to those who need it most.
Good for oil and gas I'm sure.
I guess we might get to find out how much of the 10 billion post-Katrina infrastructure build went to construction fraud.
Somebody's gotta keep the economy going in the French Quarter.
One lap dance at a time.
Careful that your buxom lap dancer ain't a ladyboy ...
100 Isaacs can't do the damage one Benjamin has done.
Unless one Isaac stirs up the gulf floor enough to send bp sludge unto the shores.
Any word on how this will effect crops in the drought areas? I know its too late to in the season to help the corn. Will it be too much rain for the soybeans? Will it help the hay crop any? If anyone has answers I would appreciate a response.

Good link. Thanks!
Spot corn is down sharply last few days. The boyz know...
Yea Im sure a flood is going to help a whole summer of drought.
Too much rain will cause massive mudflows as the topsoil doesn't have too much integrity. Perhaps damaging crops even more. Heavy rains are actually more detrimental to crops than drought.
I'm hoping the rains devestate even more corporate owned farmland. There will be nothing better than seeing speculators get stuck with billions of dollars worth of contracts that can't possibly be filled.
Mr. Bernanke, print more dirt!
Last time, trolling down Bourbon Street, snagged a few nice sea basses! This time, fly fishing in the French Quarter, if I can book a flight in.
Have a mint julep at Pat O'Brien's for me, K?
Houston WILL NOT be asking for the refugees this time. A severe and painful lesson was learned from the last one.
They're ready for it this time, Ima. They've got one-way bus trips planned toward those nice 1" bunks all laid out at the FEMA camps for the refugees, and an all-you-can-eat MRE buffet. Book yours now, they're going fast! Complimentary bedbugs provided upon request.
Cant wait until those useless government agencies broadcasting negative news will be shutdown to reduce the deficit ...
Barrack Obama hates black people!
Jerry Maguire will pay my gas & mortgage...
i look forward to Mike Myers and Kanye West partnering back up......uncomfortable TV is the best TV
"Barrack Obama hates black people!"
Barack Obama hates white people too!
and gas at my local station is now $4.29, up from $3.69 at 7AM this morning.
FANFREAKINTASTIC!!!!!!
Come on if you are going to gouge, go for the jugular. Make it $5.49 and hit a record. Fuck make it $10 a gallon, nothing is stopping you. Punish the people dumb enough to think a mild hurricane wouldn't cause gas to jump $.50 just because.
Man oh man let the good times roll.
More like 'let the good times troll' ain't it?
Everyone knows the wind... oil... and stuff like that is expensive.
Right...?
AMIRIGHT!?
They pay about $10/gallon in Central Europe. Just saying.
They pay about $.38/gallon in Saudi. Just as relevant.
"We are sad to report that people who evacuated their homes came back only to realize they'd been robbed!"
Said all news anchors, everywhere -- in about 24 hours.
Douche anchor 1: "One woman, an elderly woman in fact, was held at GUN POINT while men robbed her blind in her mobile home during the hurricane"
Douche anchor 2: "My god Douch anchor 1, this is why we must get these guns under control!"

Criminal: "Yes, I will pay attention to your regulations and laws. I promise. That's why I do illegal shit, so that I can follow the rules."

In the near future, you can print your own guns.

Upgraded to a Cat 1 hurricane! OMFG!! PANIC!!!
someone must have turned the haarp dial down because if bush was in office this would be a cat 5 for sure
OMG it's been rehypothecated. But still, must be bullish for green energy?
How effective are windmills in hurricane conditions? They must spin really fast! Solar power kind of takes a hit with all the cloud cover, however.
I realize yer just tryin' ta be funny, but modern windmills try to regulate their speed and keep the generation of current constant.
Tropical Storm Issac: We Will Never Forget

We will never forget this victim, either

Bush was an embarrassment and a disaster,but wait until you hear the media whores praising Obama for his preparedness and handling of this storm. I hope you have your puke buckets ready because it's coming.
Thanks.
I'll keep the TV off. I don't handle vomit well.
Then the Messiah will releaseth the SPR and all will be well.
Last election he made a comment about the waters no longer rising after his incarnation. Turning away a minor hurricane should be child's play for this child.
Well, at least he can recycle the phrase, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job!" when congratulating himself.
OMG...did I just say that?

Urricane. Is that a whirling, swirling storm of piss?
Long cardboard and Sharpies
Overnight 6-3-2-1 crack spreads jumped from the $10/bbl range to $22/bbl range. Hurricanes bullish for refineries. Fires and explosions in CA and Venezuela very bullish. Top off the tanks. +$4/gallon directly ahead.
$4 gas didn't work so well for Bush. It won't work so well for Obumbler either. Good riddance.
Relief-sale after hurricane-fizzle denouement. Sorry.
My neighbor topped off his Volt. Three months ago. Come on, everybody, buy one and put those poor union workers back to work.
He'd have topped it off last month, too, if only it hadn't exploded in his driveway.
Buy union! Go team!
Triple levered ETF RAPE & LOOTING.
Obama is such a god though im sure he will singlehandedly stop that hurricane.
The first models showed ISSAC making landfall on my town! I feel for the people residing wherever it lands, but I sure am pleased it's not going to be here! Still raining with some wind though.
With the death of the Mississippi, New Orleans is no longer needed.
do not fear bernanke has rolls of the best linen tp to mop up after the soaking.
I wish the Ben or totus would visit the coast this time......i could do everyone a favor and hold them under until the kicking stopped....on another note, I'm off work today and tomorrow for Issac (yay) and all i've seen so far with that first big 'feeder band' passing over was some hard wind and horizontal rain....for about 5 minutes, which is like a normal summer thunderstorm for this area. I have my bean bag dusted off, a pail of soda and a big bag of cheetos ready and i'm about to watch some gay midget porn for the next 36 hours. cheers.
Gimmie a fuckin break. All media drama, sensationalism and HYPE.
