Referring to Isaac as a Republicane is satire. But given the countless times Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians have publicly prayed for God’s wrath to strike the groups that they so love to hate, one cannot help but see the humor in a hurricane disrupting their convention. But the humor ends as Isaac bears down on New Orleans. As Republicans in Tampa express their concern, they are being completely dishonest, because their behavior reflects the exact opposite.

I heard and then read that FEMA was very concerned about Isaac being around Tampa with the RNC convention scheduled. Mention was made of the Republican/Teabagger politicans, but nothing of the ordinary citizens that would be affected. I got the impression had the politicians not been there, Tampa would have been on its own. That is truly sad. I truly hope that Isaac is not as severe as Katrina and that everyone remains safe.

May there be a voting hurricane on 06/11/12 such that the Republican/Teabaggers don't know what hit them; their house of cards comes down on them; and the Republican/Teabagger party is all but dead.

I agree Lynn, My thoughts and prayers are with all are suffering because of the hurricane.

I agree with Lynn, although I don't wish bad things on anyone. Rather, I just wish their own KARMA comes back on them so they get the full impact of the things they do and say.

What did they say at the GOP convention? Basiclly nothing. Say America 90 times & the whole world should bow at your feet? Hardly.

My tprayers and thoughts are with the people who are suffering.

Thanks all. I'm glad Obama is going there.

I guess I missed it, why do we keep rebuilding an area that is below sea-level, takes massive amounts of tax-dollars to maintain levees and then rebuild after the inevitable Hurricanes and Floods? Is it for the oil industry, tourism, posterity and history or what?

Paraphrasing Einstein: Repeating the same processes and expecting a different result is INSANE!
How about moving the bulk of the population out of that area and let nature have it back? Its a win-win. The ecology nutballs get to observe an area recover, human life is saved and MY tax dollars are not wasted on a recurring tragedy.

Just stop wasting MONEY and Resources on an perennial disaster event!

Good point. I guess that we have more people than land.

I live on the Gulf coast, & there is no humor in it no matter where it lands!

Meanwhile, Republicans are (supposedly as a joke) saying that these freak weather events are God's divine anger at us. But someone else noted not too long ago that the weird round of earthquakes, the hurricane that hit the East Coast, the weird stuff like that . . . were hitting the districts represented by these same Republicans.

Scott L., you are aware that there are risks everywhere you go, right? Indonesia was hit by a tsunami last April, wasn't it? Most of the continental U.S. has problems with tornados--as a born-and-raised Nebraskan I can sure testify to that!--extreme winter conditions that get more extreme the farther North you go, earthquakes make living underground a bad idea--not to mention floods--last winter there were earthquakes in Oklahoma, and I have family there that had to live through them. Hail does a lot of damage, my brother in Oklahoma City had his car beat to death driving home from the grocery store, just a few years after his car was totaled by a bus, the same year my dad was treated for throat cancer and my sister was stung by wasps, my house is being eaten out from around me by termites, when it isn't getting battered by tree branches thrown at it by a tornado, oh God I need my blankie now.

I think my point was, life is risk. Although living in Nebraska, I'm pretty sure I'm safe from a tsunami, unless it's a really really big one--Happy thoughts, Dianna, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.
