I don't remember that one.
Maybe it was considered too racy for the Midwest?

Hey, sorry about the flood.
Is the water going down now?

Choosing to live in a floodplain is almost as stupid as choosing to live in a city below sea level protected by the intrepid U.S. Corps of Engineers.....

I think some of the flooded out areas aren't technically floodplains, but they get flooded out because of the levies built downstream to protect the floodplains. (ie., the water backs up instead of going out into the flood plains.)
At least I've been told that.

Choosing to live in the flight path of the occasional asteroid might be considered dumb too.

Donna Sachet, a local drag queen fundraiser and gal about town, is profiled in the Chronicle today, and darn it if she is not separated at birth with Cindy McCain. Frightening similar in so many ways.......you must take a look. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=...
Kinda funny.

Straighten her hair out and Gramps wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Come to think of it, most "rodeo queens" resemble drag queens.

Most of the water has gone down. I do not live in a "flood plain" by the way. The river has never been up to my part of town. Busboy, a lot of people who were flooded were not living in what was considered the "flood plain" either. This was beyond huge, and no one could have predicted anything like it. Bush_Bites, I believe you are correct. Many areas that flood did not used to but do not because of levees, dams, dikes, etc.. designed to protect larger metropolitan areas. The flood in Cedar Rapids though, it was just too danged much snow, rain that would not quit, and a levee that gave way.
They must not have been praying hard enough. Aren't there 50 righteous in that city?

In my region , if the flood don't get you a landslide will. And if the landslide misses you and hits a lake the resulting tsunami will get you anyway.

Obama Supports Telecom Amnesty Bill By Ryan Singel June 20, 2008 | 7:28:07 PMCategories: NSA, Politics
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama supports the spy bill compromise passed by the House Friday, despite having opposed retroactive amnesty to telecoms that helped with the President's secret, warrantless wiretapping.
Old news. Obama has more recently said he'll try to get the immunity taken out.
But I do NOT like that fact that he is in favor of revising FISA at all. There is NO need to revise FISA (other than to hand Bush more dictatorial powers).

Government Is Sued Over Seizure of Liberty Dollars By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN, Staff Reporter of the Sun June 20, 2008
The federal government's attempt to stop a group of gold-standard activists from minting an alternative to the greenback is about to face its first legal test. http://www.nysun.com/national/government-is-sue...

Sounds like they unethically (and illegally) claimed that the coins were government-issued.
Unlike, say the Berkshares.

I think the best part of that commercial is the look on the face of the priest. He's smiling!
