Plywood, the Media and Cops Gone Mad

Make Money!: We have realized a sure bet money making scheme, legal at that. Sell plywood in Florida. Everytime there is a threat of a hurricane, the media has a field day camped out at Floridian Lowes', Home Depot's and the like with new footage of the same old thing: people buying plywood. What happened to the 9 pieces they got last year? It's peak hurricane season in the most hurricane prone state in the world and they are out buying up batteries, water and wood now??? Where does the wood go? To make national election ballot box partitions? And if there was a Hurricane Chad, would it come right at them or hang off the coast for a month?

"Apple don't fall far, cats in the kittens" Department: The govenor of Florida is of the same gene pool of the most useless, pathetic thing ever to live at 1600 PA so it makes sense that he is NOW, on Monday, imploring people to prepare for "3 days of inconvenience". If he knows as much about hurricanes as his brother does about why we are in Iraq, well... you get the picture. (At least our govenor would call in ex-actress gov Jane Swift as a consultant to heli-vac the poplulace to her farm).

Anyway, it's sad to see the media frenzy about 2 things: that the former "beauty queen" (we choose to keep her unnamed) still doesn't have a killer and the air marshalls who have planes land at an unknown destination because a business man said he got "bombed" last night. The frenetic display of macho cop-o-filia when an unarmed 94 year old man who wanted to off himself after his wife died says it all: 45 stormtrooper riot police were sent to his house! Forty freakin' five. Makes you want to enlist.
