Here is a list of the choices you have in Indiana.

Choose wisely.

There are likely to be shortages in the coming weeks!

Anheuser-Busch stops making beer, cans water for Sandy victims instead.

I wonder if I could buy couple of cases for long term storage?

Read now.

seems it is true.

Union solidarity…Over bringing power back to the residents so they can have light and heat and such.

Interesting set of priorities, ain’t it?

Just ’cause

In 2005, the press and the DNC sycophants  (but I repeat myself) were castigating the Bush administration  within 48 hours for not having had FEMA personnel on hand to rebuild homes immediately and hand feed each person who chose not to evacuate and to lead them by the hand to an individually and personally built shelter for each family unit.

Where is the outrage today???? 72 hours into hurricane Sandy, which likely affected more people, and the press is silent on the fact that people still have no power and are apparently starving to death because the corner bodega is out of beef jerky, chips and bologna and and are nearly killing each other for gasoline.

I don’t see the massive FEMA convoys coming into the east coast, C’mon man, where are the convoys? Where is the aid? People are out of cigarettes and coffee!

Where is the press on this? Why aren’t they crying out that “Obama hates east coasters”? Especially the folks in Hoboken? Mostly white people (82%) and only 4% black, so he must be racist right??

Where is the outrage?

on this day in 1952, the first thermonuclear bomb (H-Bomb) was detonated.

It wasn’t a weapon, but it led to other designs which were.

At least, according to this story. (if true, I haven’t been able to verify) (update: It is denied, but not officially by the IBEW)

Never let the thin edge of the wedge get into union solidarity. Especially the IBEW.
Ever.

No matter what.

Screw those people without power, we got to take a united stand against scab labor….

But in less than 3 days, some residents are already starving.

Dumpster diving for food.

3 days after the storm shut down the city and more or less destroyed portions of the area.

3 days.

Apparently very few people in the greater New York/NJ area had the intelligence to stock up on non perishable/lo prep food and water and gasoline. Even though they knew that the storm was coming, and that it’s effects would be bad.

People are apparently starving and running out of water in Hoboken because no one can get food into them because of storm damage.

Starving….. In their own (relatively undamaged) homes……. after only 3 days.  Sad that. Very Sad. I am saddened that people can’t plan ahead any better than that. These are supposed to be intelligent people. Hell, even squirrels store food for hard time.

I know some people in the area. I know that they were prepared, In fact, I know of one person who is feeding others, and who is allowing them to shower and eat at her home, because she has a genset and stocked food (and has running water)…. She is a better person than I.

But apparently a significant number of people did not prepare. Out of food and water after only 3 days. I am sure that many folks did indeed prepare in a prudent manner. We just don’t see them on the news. They are at home doing what must be done rather than standing in a line for food or water or rationed gasoline.

We only see the less than intelligent folks, ’cause they are the ones that make news.

At least they aren’t whining as loudly as the folks in Nawlins post-Katrina.
