Most in Miami-Dade have power restored but face no help from FEMA
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-ddade01sep01,0,6004393.story?coll=sfla-home-headlines

:rant:

Back here in FloriDUH, the state that can NEVER under ANY circumstance get it's shit together (thank you to illustrious crap govenor Jeb! :puke:), Miami and Broward get NO Fema help! Well, now that Miami actually NEEDS IT! Unlike LAST YEAR when they get $10 MILLION for, what? Someone's banana tree fall over?! Meanwhile, here in Okeechobee County, to this day, there are still COUNTLESS homes with the good ol' BLUE TARP ROOF (ok, some are white...) and we didn't get SHIT from FEMA. In order to get a FEMA loan, my dad had to about DOUBLE his homeowner insurance payment, cuz "you don't fit in the right bracket for an UNsecured loan." Can you believe that CRAP? For an UNsecured loan? Bastards. I'm not out to blame whoever in Miami got that money last year (even though they are still JERKS for taking it when they more likely than not did not need it) but a big FUKU to FEMA for leaving Okeechobee, as well as Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast S.O.L. for relief. Hope y'all's teeth fall out the day before Thanksgiving! :nopity:

2. Oh yeah...silly me!

3. Thanks for the news about So FL
I live in No FL and I was wondering what was going on down there. The news hasn't been covering this story at all.

5. It's strange...
...when I moved up here from Delray, I thought my car was gonna be firebombed in a week or less cuz you can still sorta see my Kerry stickers. Well low and behold, even the BIGGEST 'necks here HATE BUSHitler! I'm talking tobacco chewin, moonshinin', gun-racks glore, the whole 9 yards, DESPISE the piece of crap! I have YET to run into ONE person here who supports the Idiot and his criminal gang. One 'neck even told me "I hope the son'bitch gets the same fate as JFK!" I was floored! I told him to not say that too loud or the Dept. Of Homeland IN-suck-urity will come a knocking...which is probably a bad idea for them since this 'neck, like everyone ELSE in this county, is armed to the teeth!

IS IT CIVIL WAR Pt. 2 YET?!

4. Yeah, you guys got the money last year. Too bad you spent it already!
Lots of blue roofs throughout the state. Still homeless from last year too.

6. Remember last year...
...when the Jebster (aka DICKHEAD!) said something like "Well, we weren't expecting any hurricanes..."!
Urm, Jeb, partner, what STATE is this again?! FLORIDA! Only the HURRICANE CAPITAL OF PLANET EARTH! What next? When someone gets hit by lightning on a golf course, he'll say "Well we didn't expect lightning!"

AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE SMART BUSH! JEEEEEESUS CHRIIIIIST!

7. I lost electricity on the first and third hurricanes. I missed that remark
I may have gone to Tallahassee and raved at him. Typical Bush remark.
