Earlier in the week, a rare earthquake on the eastern seaboard of the US set off a round of post-9/11 panic. The devastation and trauma was palpable:
Now, with Cyclone Irene bearing down on the Big Apple, a state of emergency has been declared before the storm hits. Mayor Bloomberg has ordered evacuations of low-lying areas and state governor Cuomo has ordered the closure of several bridges if the winds rise above 60 mph, or what we Wellingtonians call a light breeze. Hell, we don't even bother closing the airport in such weather.

Its a category 3 hurricane FFS. You only take notice if it is above category 5.
Pussies? Thats what you get for electing a bedwetting leftard for President.
Au contraire Mark V, Bloomberg's rattling the punters in time for the tenth anniversary of 9/11. This has GOP fear and loathing porn written all over it.
