Feeling suey
Just over the AP Wire:
NEW ORLEANS — Residents whose homes were flooded during Hurricane Katrina can sue the Army Corps of Engineers over claims the agency ignored warnings about defects in a nearby navigation channel, a federal judge ruled Friday.
This is good news, I guess. I can already hear the chorus of uninformed out-of-town assholes saying things like “Those lazy grifting negroes in New Orleans want to sue people for bad weather!”
That brings up a good point though.. can’t someone be sued for the weather? I’m really, really sick of the shit weather we’ve been having for the last couple weeks and I currently have no one to blame. The anger needs to be directed at something. I am seriously at my rope’s end. As a friend said the other day, “if I wanted to live like this I’d move to Portland.”

This weather is indeed sucky, but thankfully it’s not Denver weather - they just hit 18 below in the metro area with a wind chill of negative 30.
So THAT’S where our rain is! I’m in Portland, and it’s been weirdly sunny lately. I’ll take the rain - we need some fresh snow on the mountains. Send it on up!
I’m loving the weather we’ve had the past few days…but then again, I am planning on (maybe) moving to Portland.
Kapaali - you’ll be sorry.
Just sayin’. However, if you decide to do so, maybe we can work out a house swap.
I blame the Cold Miser from the old cartoon “The Year Without a Santa Clause. But that’s me.
what’s bad about portland? if it’s the cold, i can handle that. if it’s the hippies, i can handle those, too.
Hey, Portland’s not so bad. It took me a while to get used to the gray, but once you get over that it’s a very cool city. And the hippies are free comedy. Plus: more microbreweries per capita than any other city! What’s not to love?
