Chuck You, Pal
While listening to 1010WINS radio for news on upcoming storm Sandy, I heard professional menace Chuck Schumer put his two cents in. For those not in the greater NY area, Schumer has some kind of special deal/payoff with both 1010WINs and WCBSNewsRadio whereas he is given free airtime each week to say whatever he likes unchallenged and there is never, ever any follow up at all on thousands of Schumer “reports”.
Usually, he’s shaking down some business who won’t “play along” with him, but today he’s on the airwaves to weigh in on the storm. In an absolutely incredible moment, Chuck was wringing his hands about “…the potential economic damage to the city from Hurricane Sandy.”
If I sat here and thought about it for a thousand hours I’d be hard pressed to come up with anything that could do more economic damage to the city of NY than Chuck Schumer, himself.
Stay safe to all of you in the path of the storm.

Sandy, is just part of the equation. This conglomeration of weather systems, should not be taken lightly. All of the Northeast, should take this seriously. All my IOTW peeps, living above the Manson/Nixon line, need beware. Dis bitch gonna hurtcha.

Schumer should be glad a hurricane is coming in to destroy things…that how liberals “create” jobs isn’t it?

What’s Smuckie’s take on the “Fairness Doctrine”?

I wonder why NYC keeps voting these people in. Schumer just drips sweetness, doesn’t he? He is 75% communist, 25% marxist.

So sorry to those who live under Chuck Schumer’s fascism.
Hope he mistakes a dishwasher cube for a piece of taffy.
One more thing. Schumer looks like his butt smells.

Hey! Pity can only be spread so far. We’ve still got FEMA blue tarps on some roofs down here in New Orleans from Katrina. Let’s keep New Orleans in your prayers (and keep that federal aid coming). We’re the original “chocolate city”. NYC has nothing on us. Chris Matthews says New York City is dog whistle for “white”. Don’t abandon the black people of New Orleans. It’s only been 7 years!

The economic damage he’s worried about is the tax income lost from the loss of business activity – nothing more.

No wonder Schumer has become a euphemism for “bullshit”.
He’s a textbook, self-serving, weasel politician.
But, speaking of the storm…it’s definitely spreading over a wide area. And, like Menderman noted, why is it so cold?
Here’s a high-res photo that really shows the expanse of the storm. Click on the black and white image. It blew my mind! This thing is a MONSTER!

I know there are lots of IOTW peeps in the track of this storm.
Take cover, stay safe, and God Bless.

The 0bama administration in 2008 told us they would keep the ocean from rising, or some crap like that, so I say we should be using democraps for sandbags and Schummer is a good place to start.

Hurricane Floyd was a monster:
http://www.learnnc.org/lp/media/uploads/2009/12/floyd_19990915_2015_hg.jpg
It was a Cat 4 just before landfall. It hit as a strong 2. 34 people died in North Carolina alone. Many drowned in their attics trying to escape rising flood waters. Floyd followed TS Dennis that dumped 10 inches of rain on eastern NC, Floyd dumped another foot.
Y’all yankees don’t discount how bad this can be. I have been through a dozen or so of these, they are all bad…some are worse than bad.
Be safe. Get 3 times what you think you need!
