So Tropical Storm Isaac is moving toward land in the vicinity of New Orleans and its surrounds. Samuel L Jackson is questioning how God can be so good if Isaac didn't slam into Tampa wiping out all the (enter colorful language here) republicans. Ellen Barkin tweeted that the storm should wash all the (insert colorful language here) (insert more colorful language) bleeping republicans screaming into the sea. The mayor of LA is quoted as saying you can't just trot out a brown face and expect to get votes. Our homeland security people forbade James O'Keefe from traveling to Tampa to speak at convention events because his investigations and exposure of Democrat voter fraud in several states have cut them too close to the bone. Code Pink protesters stormed into a private meeting being attended by Condoleeza Rice and tried to arrest her for war crimes (completely ignoring another illegal round of drone attacks committed inside Pakistan and approved by the POTUS)(PS we are still interrogating folks in Gitmo and other places not so nice, also signed off by the POTUS who said he would stop both actions 3 years ago). Oh, and a St. Louis school board has forced a 3 year old deaf boy to change the way he signs HIS NAME because it looks to much like he's shooting a gun.
All this to say thanks to the hundreds of men I saw today staging here in and around Tallahassee as they wait for Isaac's wrath to fall on the coast. These men (and I am sure a few women) have left their families for a period and are getting ready to rush into the devastation left in the wake of the storm. They are line men and arborists from around the Southeast who band together to help areas recovering from natural disasters. They work in dangerous conditions, for unending hours, and for little more than their regular pay and a thank you. They put aside everything that is important to themselves to bring shelter and relief to those in need. They are the real America
God go with you men.
