No changes in Haiti after uthe earthquake when $1.3 Bil. was donate, d as usual corupt official stole the bulk

Did you hear about the corrupt officials in America. After all, fema aid to Katrina victims was squandered

Here's how it's important: I want to hear what the evangelicals decide is the sin of the Republican Party that caused God to send a hurricane their way.

They tried to nominate the Mittster, God said No. No, No!

Day One canceled. God is not pleased with the GOP.

If the convention is unimportant, then I think that says loads about the GOP.

This weather system is still a tropical storm. As Floridians will tell you, the "cone of uncertainty" will surely change. It's too early to tell where it will go or how strong it will be. I would be surprised if the convention in Tampa went as planned and did not cancel. There's too much uncertainty. I was going to grad school in Tampa when hurricane Charley was approaching. The day before the storm was about to hit, they evacuated students and I drove down south Fl right into it's path. It did a last minute turn, while I watched on TV right for us-and bam!

I do more than my share to support organizations in Haiti. I still have a right to care about how it will affect American politics. Esp. since US presidents seem to have an even bigger effect on Haiti than hurricanes.

Any predictions for the convention?

It doesn't look like the center is going to hit Tampa, but it's hard to tell. I imagine that Mitt Romney does not relish the possibility that the convention will be interrupted by a hurricane and then the inevitable response. Which of course would involve the President flying in to declare it a federal disaster. Then again, we probably don't need a hurricane to know that.
