    I thought Hurricane coverage is not about the ratings. It should be about informing those affected. Love the right wing deflection to Katrina, only they were comparing the wrong President and wrong storm. There were some that accused Obama of deploying FEMA too early during Sandy.

    @ 2

    What coverage is supposed to be is up for debate. A network is telling a story.

    Sandy occurred so close to the 2012 election date that it would have been ridiculous not to cover the effects on the presidential race.

    Harvey occurred at a time when the leading network, CNN, is remaking itself on its antipathy toward Trump.

    Networks show us what they want us to see. Like stilettos.

    Washington has its own Mini-MO:

    A memo sent this week to faculty and staff at Evergreen laid out a difficult budget and enrollment situation and called for spending cuts. Registrations are down 212 students from last fall. The student headcount was 3,670 as of mid-August compared to 3,882 at the same time last year.

    Conservative news websites and talk radio hosts gleefully publicized the enrollment decline, tying it to the unrest and outside threats related to racial issues and allegations of liberal intolerance on campus that were covered nationally last spring. 


    http://kuow.org/post/enrollmen.....eze-coming

    It’s not just the drop in enrollments. It’s the higher tuition those missing students would have paid.

    Powers noted nearly all of this fall’s enrollment drop came from the category of out-of-state students, who pay higher tuition. 


    Good.

    I’ll remember which was used as a slush fund by a former president and an assumed future one.

    Yeah, but Cleveland Indians mascot!

    Former Oberlin College professor faces federal charges

    CLEVELAND — A former Oberlin College instructor and an activist for indigenous people was indicted this week for allegedly stealing funds from the American Indian Education Center of Cleveland, where he is executive director.

    Robert Roche, 70, of Cleveland, is charged in the U.S. District of Northern Ohio with multiple counts of conspiracy and theft of government funds.

    @3 It seems other people are telling stories, too:

    “How come we never saw Obama helping the Katrina victims? Oh, that’s right, he was golfing at the time.”

    “U R a nut case. It was your Pres Obama who was golfing during Hurricane Katrina.”

    “Your [sic] such a pig. Don’t you remember Katrina when Obama was out golfing/vacation & too busy to help Louisiana?”

    “THANK YOU TRUMP. THUS [sic] IS HOW A REAL PRESIDENT LEADS. WHERE WAS OBAMA DURING KATRINA? PROBABLY GOLFING.”

    “And where was Obama when Katrina hit. Probably golfing. You lefties are all on crack.”

    @4 What’s the docket schedule for Trump’s treason and money laundering trial? Joe Arpiao’s already had his contempt trial, and he was found guilty. No pardon can ever erase the ugly stain of his racism.

    @6 I understand your medical practice is shuttering its doors, too. That puts you on a par with Evergreen.

    @9 Embezzlers should go to jail no matter who they are or where they work. Unfortunately, this doesn’t apply in practice to the Wall Street types Republicans fill their cabinets with.

    Union member behaving badly:

    Caught stealing while serving as secretary-treasurer, Pascale McAtee went so far as to try to have her union, the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers Local 161, decertified to block the investigation. McAtee, 58, failed to break the union, which represents private shuttle drivers in Snohomish County, but wrecked morale there.

    http://www.seattlepi.com/local.....159114.php

    Disband the union to hide your crime. Clever.

    Oh, and when caught she played the race card.

    Found out in 2015, McAtee spread rumors that the union lost the money and, eventually, that she was being targeted by federal investigators because she is an immigrant, Peñalver said in court papers. She sought to dissolve the union in the summer of 2016.

    Class act, union member.

  18. 18

    I’m sure for each union miscreant we can find several CEO’s. What’s your point, other than being a jerk?

  22. 22

    When cops behave like swine, people will think of them as swine.

    “The president of a Pennsylvania police union responded to Black Lives Matter activists demanding accountability for the police killing of a black man by calling the group a ‘pack of rabid animals.’ … McNesby also came under fire last year after defending an officer that appeared to be sporting a Nazi tattoo.”

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....mg00000009

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This isn’t a knock on the vast majority of police officers who do their jobs professionally and well. It’s strictly a knock on swinish cops, but unfortunately, their swinish behavior drags down respect for the entire profession. Union leaders are expected to defend their members. That’s their role. But there’s a right way and wrong way to do it. Most sixth graders could do better than this moron.

    It’s been awhile since Vogue published “A Rose in the Desert”, its fawning profile of the wife of Syrian leader Assad.

    Incorrect in its assumption that enough time has passed, Vogue has published another fawning spread, with swimsuit photo, of traitor Bradley Manning.

    http://www.vogue.com/article/c.....zr_manning

    Woof. I haven’t met her in person, but I’d bet YLB could rock a one-piece far more convincingly than Bradley does.

    Perhaps more than anything else, this photo demonstrates why Obama should never have commuted his sentence.

    Of course, for gman it’s stroke material. YMMV.

    New narrative: Just ’cause the DNC info was leaked doesn’t mean it couldn’t have been hacked, too.

    Freitas lays out several scenarios in which the DNC could have been hacked from the outside, although he does not rule out a leak. Freitas concludes that all parties “must exercise much greater care in separating out statements backed by available digital metadata from thoughtful insights and educated guesses.”

    Walter Becker died.

    Donald Fagen has been touring solo. He’ll be at the Paramount on the 13th.

    BTW Al DiMeola will be at the Neptune on the 12th. His band includes an electric violinist named Evan Garr, who is really outstanding.

    Talented comedian @25. You had may years to practice being a clown – it has paid off.

    Chelsea actually could give Ann Culter (yes spelled wrong on purpose) a run for her money.

    But since you asked Doctor Dumbfuck – using my work computer at the moment, so I’d rather not fish around and google a hot gay muscle stud that could probably snap your neck….but maybe when I sign on later with my PC I’ll share, since you are sharing all the hot woman……we can turn Goldy’s site into a gay porn site (I’ll have to check the rules) – maybe that is one way for you to disappear from HA…..enjoy the missles from Kim Jun Un – I suggest you start jerking off now.

  29. 29

    @25 google Austin Wolf (might be with an e at the end of the last name). I’ve seen him workout at my gym here in NYC on a few occasions……this guy could probably snap your neck – my kind of guy.

    @23 As far as I know, Texass accepted Mexico’s offer of help. Trump will call it a down payment on the wall.

  31. 31

    @24 You think he should stay in jail because he doesn’t look enough like a woman? Maybe putting you in the same cell might change your mind after he strokes you off a few times and lets you cop a feel.

    @28 “we can turn Goldy’s site into a gay porn site”

    Why not? We’ve already turned it into a troll bestiality site.

  35. 35

    I’d agree. After all, Obama’s number was not zero.

    @GoldyHA
    I wonder how many people Trump and/or his people have had killed? I mean, intentionally. Fair chance the number is not zero.

    Proving that it’s just not goats in peril from wingnut traitor trolls, our Putin-loving alligator pussy licker also has chicken fucking on the brain. Sad!

    Wingnut traitor troll projection. Ofttimes it reveals things about them we really don’t want to know. Double sad!

  38. 38

    And YLB’s afraid that men in elected office might ask her to pay her fair share, too.

    @38 Yawwwn… Voted many times to tax ourselves silly boobie.. For things we supported.

    May your taxes be what they were under Ike silly boobie. Ike wasn’t much for economic policy but he did build infrastructure, bolster Social Security and fund advances in education.

    Things you benefited from shitferbrains.

    Stop trying so hard to compensate. LOL! Keep on trying – it’s too freaking funny!

  41. 41

    Haven’t the seen the babbling butthole in a while. Yours truly likes to believe it’s because the freak’s weak spot was finally found.

    What the freak put first on fridays after sunset and on saturday’s after sunset just before performing the weekly obligation in the salt mines with its buddy.

    Each case it “needed” HA first.

    Boob might have something similar.. It obviously “needs” to spend more time at HA than the “half hour” of “quality face time” with its unlucky buddy.

    SAD!

    @35 @36 Despite the unfolding disaster in Texas, there’s at least one doctor on the planet who can think of nothing better to do with his time than stalk a local blogger. Goldy should feel complimented. It imparts a sense of importance.

  46. 46

    My apologies to Goldy and HA Staff to the link @32. If you want to pull it down go right ahead.

    I thought the link I attached was g rated picture but I guess it pulled up the whole goggle image search link of all the x rated images. The intent was not to put the x rated stuff on.

    But I’m sure Bob got hard.

    May your taxes be what they were under Ike

    May your family members’ health and life expectancy be what they would have been under Ike, YLB.

    It wouldn’t be Friday Night MM on HA if Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit didn’t perpetuate @ 21 a falsehood.

    UPDATE: Quebec agrees Greg Abbott appointee didn’t spurn hurricane aid

    Later Friday, the press secretary for Quebec’s minister of international relations responded to an American-Statesman inquiry with an email stating that Pablos had indeed guided the minister to the DPS’s Division of Emergency Management.

    “Contrary to what has been reported in the media, Secretary Pablos did not decline the minister’s offer, but instead made sure Quebec made contact with the proper Texas state agency,” Ann-Clara Vaillancourt said. She added: “The Quebec Government’s office in Houston is in constant contact with local authorities and is arranging for emergency supplies to be shipped shortly.”

    Canada-based CBC News had reported three days earlier that Quebec’s government offered blankets and other supplies to Texas in the wake of the hurricane that became a lumbering tropical storm. That story said Pablos basically replied not now on the offered aid, but prayers are welcome.

    Unrelated, but Mrs. Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit reports that the ED medications prescribed for her husband are not, contrary to his reports, effective.

  51. 51

    @50 Uh, no. “Alternative facts” are a Republican thing. So is changing their story after the media calls them out on their jackassery.

  52. 52

    @50 “Mrs. Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit reports that the ED medications prescribed for her husband are not, contrary to his reports, effective.”

    Mother Nature knows what she’s doing. I don’t know why you doctors keep trying to improve on her designs. P.S., I’ll bet there are more rabbits than radiologists.

  53. 53

    I can’t believe Ann Coulter said Harvey was God punishing Houston for electing a gay mayor. What’s even more unbelievable is some people believe this nonsense.
