Hurricane Gustav Burps Loudly, Leaves New Orleans

The news media are reporting that Hurricane Gustav has finished its business in Louisiana and is now heading towards Texas. The storm was weakened before it hit land, was downgraded to a Cat 2 storm and did not cause as much damages as feared. Hmm, Gustav's tale sounds suspiciously similar to the political career of Barack Obama.

Meanwhile, our brave Republican leaders have risen to the occasion, put country ahead of party and did the right thing. They were there to show concern. Wonderful.

With any luck, we may be able to resume the RNC National Convention soon. C'mon guys, we have an election to win.
