Houston Under Ike's Gun

But first, a message from Alaska governor and the Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin:

Isn't that Sarah Palin sexy?

Okay, on a much more serious note, Hurricane Ike is barreling toward the Houston-Galveston area, and is expected to reach landfall Saturday. as of 1:00PM Central Time, it's a Category 2, with maximum winds at 105 MPH, with gusts up to 125 MPH, moving west-northwest at 11 MPH. Forecasters have Ike reaching landfall by around 2:30AM Central Time (12:30AM Pacific) Saturday morning. Some hurricane hunters say that Ike could get stronger before reaching landfall.

The Gulf Coast Doesn't Like Ike

Hurricane Ike is over the Caribbean as I write this. According to The Weather Channel, the slightly weakened storm is back over the waters, and models have it going over the Gulf of Mexico by Tuesday evening, reaching the central- and much warmer Gulf waters by Friday morning.

Once again, New Orleans is in what forecasters call the 'cone of uncertainty'. Remember, that this storm is days away from landfall, and who knows what track it'll take. However, many models say that Houston-Galveston is the likely target. Could Space City suffer the major damage New Orleans did three years ago?

Ike could become a major Category Two or Three by Friday.

Could Sarah Palin Be My Guilty Pleasure?

I've mentioned that Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, is a bitch. She still scares the bejeepers out of me. Is it because she's a small town girl? That she probably hasn't been around enough black and Latino folks? Whatever it is, the woman just doesn't make me comfortable.


But I strangely find her attractive. Sure, I've lusted for, and on occasion had adulterous affairs with, married women. But, given the fact that despite the fact that Sarah is a bitch- who could be the 45th President of the United States should Mr. Healthy-as-a-Horse McCain die- she looks pretty good. Yeah, the hair's gotta change and perhaps she has to reach out to folks who aren't lily white. But, yeah, I'd fuck her if given the chance- and I can't believe I'm saying this.



Sure, I'd have to wait awhile until she and Todd leaves- and if she's nice to me, perhaps I'd return to the Republican Party just for a night with Sarah.



Yeah, riiiight...

Sarah Palin's Daughter- Talk About Republican Family Values

Just when I thought I wasted enough ink on the wicked bitch from Alaska, here comes another piece of good news.

As we all know, Sarah's eldest daugther Bristol, who all of seventeen and unmarried, is preggers! Yes! Five months pregnant!

And here I was thinking, Republicans are perfect shiny little people. You know, upright, God-fearing, and patriotic folk. While I believe this- at least the majority of the time, there are times when I sometimes wonder otherwise. After all, there was that Larry Craig fiasco of last year when he had a same sex tryst with an undercover cop in the Twin Cities (which, in a twist of irony, the GOP is holding their convention there this week). Then there was that preacher Ted Haggard who had his own man love circle. Probably explains why his old church got shot up this past winter.

You know, the Republicans would have us think that good girls don't have babies out of wedlock. Oh, no. Not Republican girls, just those nasty, slutty Democratic and Independent girls. Republicans don't abort their kids...well, except when they find out that the daughter was knocked up by a person of the opposite race. Then, they'll just sweep it under the rug and say, "We regret to report that our daughter Susie has miscarried." They fail to mention that Susie had help in that miscarriage.

To her credit, Bristol seems to want to carry the child to term. But I must say, baby girl, you've picked a hell of a time to get knocked up. After all, dear ol' mum's trying to be the first woman Vice President of the United States. How does this look for, not only the Palin family, but also Republican family values altogether? Have you thought about that, Bristol, baby?

Of course, if Sarah and Bristol were Democrats, they'd definitely be demonized for allowing such a travesty to happen. Oh, well. There's just no pleasing the GOP, is there?
