I think its the beginning of the apocalypse...

Gas prices are 3.09 here already - New Orleans is turning into a scene from Hotel Rwanda - could it be that Judgement Day is upon us? Are we going to see blood raining from the skies, or clouds of locusts? That would just ruin my week.

    I'm thinking that anyone who has ever endured any of the major natural disasters, or just natural phenomenon that they did not, at the time, have an explaination for, have probably thought the same thing.
    Remember Y2K?

    Although the actual magnitude is staggering when we are faced with it, scientists have been warning about just such a scenario for years. Just a few months ago, National Geographic Magazine had an article about the eroding Lousianna delta, and the inplications of a hurricane with a tidal surge of +18 ft. to the Big Easy.
    Of course these are all stats and science. It sure is more poignant when you see the human suffering attached to it.

    Dogs and cats... living together!

    The dead shall rise and eat the living!

    Buckets of blood shall pour from the sky like rain. fire and lightning will erupt from the earth in an orgy of destruction! the oceans will boil and the atmosphere will ignite in a giant fireball as the earth's core cracks and tilts on its axis spilling its contents into the asteroid belts to be forever flung round the universe.

    MASS HYSTERIA!!!

    You got it right though with the dead rising to eat the living. Soon as a zombie outbreak occurs, I'm on the road to my secret secluded last days bunker.

    Might be warming in that direction.
    But things will get real hot as soon as Caliphonica falls into the ocean.

    Good thing I hoarded 5000 gallons of gas, a 24 month supply of canned food and water, an A10 Wart Hog, crew and jet fuel, and a case of Trojans.

    Bet gas prices will hit $5 if anything happens here on 9-11.

    Everyone should be seeing why closing all these military bases for the past 10-15 years are a bad idea. Look at the pathetic support to this catastrophe by the Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty.

    Now imagine if only 1 nuclear bomb from North Korea hit the US. We would crumble like Rome. North Korea would be under water, but we would still be greatly impacted.

    Things are going to be getting much, much worse in the next few months.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    Oh God let us panic not.
    For it is the time of riot
    Lead us not into the running
    waters of the mississippi
    but forgive us our police as we
    would forgive us our looters.
    Yea though I walk thru the flooded
    streets of NO I will fear no idiot
    with a gun for mine is bigger.
    (and I got a BP vest)


    Of course I'm out of my mind. It's dark and scary in there.

    I liked the poem. I would however like to point out that there is a word which rhymes with "bigger" and would be perfectly appropriate given the circumstances..

    You have a case of Trojans? WOW! I don't envy the Trojans, I envy the stamina, imagination, aspirations, or whatever else it is you have!
