"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Caligula invaded the ocean?

As long as he did it by himself, I mean, rather than made a bunch of shmucks march into the sea on his say-so. I'd far rather die a totally wasteful death on some random battlefield, unknowing of the waste, than die a totally wasteful death that was lapping right up at my ankles for anybody with the brains of a starfish to assess.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Waiting for the televangelists to make sodom and gommorah comparisions.

They're holding out hope for an earthquake in SF before Sunday

Silence means security silence means approval

From the AP:

The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port did NOT suffer major damage as a result of Hurricane Katrina. And a port official says the flow of oil could resume within "a matter of hours" once its power supply is restored.

Really good news, since that means they'll probably be operating by next week.

I'm waiting for Bush to invade the ocean, like Caligula.

Well, at least he doesn't need to install his horse in the Senate, since there are a couple in charge of it already.

Or at least parts of horses.

I'm waiting for Bush to invade the ocean, like Caligula.

Actually controlling the ocean is pretty tough and there aren't a lot of good targets. Maybe we'll attack something else. Canada would work. It's close by and look at all that coastline, they have to be working with the ocean, plus they have a bunch of our oil in the Alberta oil sands.

They've got these huge tubine farms out in Minnesota (Buffalo Ridge, which you can see not far from the family farm. ) HUGE. They're clearly visible from a plane huge. I think my head would explode if I was up close to them.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think, to really attack the ocean, you'd need a really, really big tarp.

Or, a few million buckets of sand.

Sponges! Lots and lots of sponges!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

QUICK! Someone figure out how much Bounty we would need to sop up the ocean.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Caligula invaded the ocean?

It's probably apocryphal, but it did show up in I, Claudius: [link]

What is even happening?

Waiting for the televangelists to make sodom and gommorah comparisions.

Well, the most recent F2F was there. C'mon, I can't be the only one who thought that?
