OR does he sensibly go by the name George? He's cool then.

Current readings have had gusts of up to 220mph and sustained winds at 185. It's one of if not the strongest Atlantic storm ever recorded.

And Florida may not take an eyewall landing, but parts of it, especially the southern tip, are going to get loving slammed regardless of which way it goes.

By sustained winds, that's a 5-way tie for second place. Top spot is Allen in 1980, at 190 mph.

I'll give half a pass because of that but the entire dem organization could have at least made some noise about it instead of running away screaming from the ACA and saying a sloppy blowjob to the insurance industry was both too far and the only option.

Locking up some bankers would have been pretty cool too.

The trail for which this fire is named passes by one of the most beautiful waterfalls you'd ever hope to see.

I seriously hope that the reports of these kids starting the fire are inaccurate for their sake; otherwise I hope they got locked up for as long as the law allows for juvenile and then spend the rest of their lives working off the fines.

Worst, yes. Bush is still more disastrous by virtue of being able to pass horrible poo poo like the patriot act, tax cuts, and forever wars through Congress as well as putting a goddamn horse judge as FEMA director as sinecure.

On a more mundane note, turns out that the finance minister of NZ wasn't very good at economics.

It's all starting to add up and the fall of the current government and a shift leftward is starting to look reasonably likely.

Just thought you might like to know.

I'm still down with the death penalty. Like, I get that we aren't supposed to hold minors to the same standard of accountability as adults, but if you burn down a priceless natural landmark doing something that is a prime example of "do not do this thing, there are PSAs everywhere telling you not to do this thing" and you are clearly old enough to know better, I feel like the principle of demonstrating denunciation and opprobrium of such incredibly dangerous, costly, anti-social actions overrides that.

Eh, unless they take action against his license, he will probably be able to find another job. I'm pretty sure there are employed Paramedics with prior DUIs out there.
