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?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

More good news: they're reporting tentatively that the Causeway is undamaged. The Causeway is the highway from the north end of Metairie to the north shore (Covington, Mandeville).

Jefferson Parish, which I believe is where -t and her husband live, has said that they'll let people back in in about a week, in order to get clothes and other essentials. Then, people will need to leave again and not return for a month.

Holy crap.
