wIll hurricane Frances distract Floridians from Dumbo's speech?
The hurricane is expected to hit land early tomorrow morning... perhaps Floridians will be too busy fortifying their homes and/or evacuating to watch the Big Dummy read off the TelePrompter tonight.

Whaday'all think?

1. Yes. But.
I've written off Florida, anyways. They are going to steal it again, motherfuckers.

2. Never stop fighting. Too much has been exposed and too many
people know what really happened in Florida.

5. Color me cynical
But I will gladly go down there to raise hell after the election if any funny buisness is being reported. I won't sit still while they have another coup.

3. YES!
We have been too busy to listen to any of the news from the repug convention. We are zoned in on the storm's path, We have spent the last three days preparing three homes for the storm. Our two children live on a barrier island and we have done our best to make sure all are secured with their homes. today everyone was here to get our hurricane shutters up, and load up our large garage with things they don' want to lose. They left the area, one family to Orlando and the other family left for Ga. last night. They have little ones, to stay with our oldest daughter.We feel secure about our place , its a new home and built to the new hurricane codes. Right now we are tired, the stress of getting ready is worse than the storm. I hope all are safe that are in the path, where ever it will end up!!
Screw the repug convention!!

4. I'm in Miami and have not heard a syllable about his speech
In fact, I just remembered the speech was tonight about a half hour ago. Everyone here is boarding up and bringing in outdoor furniture and anything that could turn into a projectile.

And the lines at gas stations are incredible, taking up the right hand lanes of major streets for a hundred yards or more in some cases.

George Bush is priority zero.

6. Absolutely!
My sister's in Palm Beach and she got out of work around 3 this afternoon. They're all boarding up windows and doors and watching the weather channel. I can't imagine too many people being interested in his speech.

7. Floridians- I wish you all the best...
...so sorry you have to go through all of this again- I am praying for you.

Why can't a big hurricane blow the Asshole right off the podium tonight instead? Maybe it could blow him to Kansas and land him in a big pile of cow turds. (yes, i know that's childish- tee hee)

9. Make sure you all gas up
There are reports of gas stations running out already and you can be sure Jeb doesn't have a plan to make sure people have enough gas to get out of here.

Keep in mind, hotels all over the state are already full, because of the people displaced from Charlie. So good luck finding a room.

Too bad so many people will miss W's speech, but half the state is sitting in traffic right now.

10. listen, MOST of America
is too busy to listen to the marble mouthed, fake texan drawl his way through another load of canned drivel written by someone else, who, by the way, took extra care not to use too many big words. You can bank on Florida being otherwise occupied.
