Hurricanes, Florida, and God

A few days ago I posted a link to a Florida map which purported to show that the recent hurricanes hit Republican areas only. It has created quite a hubbub, elsewhere as well as here, with eight comments posted so far, quite a lot for PoliZeros. Apparently, some clueless conservatives actually think I took the map seriously.

So, in hopes of tossing more gasoline on the fire, I post this from reader David Robison (who you can email here)

I assume you’re the same Bob Morris who put together the great map of Florida counties, 2000 election voting and the hurricanes of this year. I love it!

While I think the map is great, I am NOT the Bob Morris who created it, although I think we’d like each other if we met. Great names think alike.

A few weeks ago, before Ivan, I put together an animation.

A most prescient animation indeed! (Boldface added.)

Feel free to pass the link on. Cheers and good luck to all of us in November.

Reader Hugh Lowe notes:

I wanted to confirm for you that it is for sure a message from God.  Heed the Scriptures:

Job 27:21. The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

Job 27:22. For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

Job 27:23. [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

Well, I guess that settles it!

PS As one who has been through hurricanes, I wouldn’t wish them on anyone, not even Jeb Bush.

However since Bob Woodward reported that Dubya believes Jesus told him to invade Iraq, it’s only fair that lefties can believe God is smiting Florida for its sins in the 2000 election. Well, those lefties who still believe in God and sin, that is…

It’s getting drafty in here

Panel calls U.S. troop size insufficient for demands

Hey here’s a thought, if the US stops invading countries, then they won’t need more troops, right?

Cat Stevens to take legal action

The singer once known as Cat Stevens said Friday that U.S. authorities have not made clear why they suspect him of ties to terrorism and said he would never have believed such a thing could happen in America, a country he loves.

Who will be next to be targetted unjustly by this out of control national security apparatus?

Tallying the woes of electronic balloting

Twelve months ago, this was a fringe issue, and those complaining about the inaccuracies of electronic voting machines were considered nutty. Today, the L.A. Times has a front page article about it. That’s how fast this story has spread, and the Internet was how it happened.

Touch-screen voting machine “once hailed as the answer to the nation’s voting woes are stirring up some serious cases of buyer’s remorse here and across the country.”

Computer scientists from coast to coast have warned that the machines sometimes err in counting votes and could be easily compromised by amateur hackers intent on disrupting elections. In either case, they say, a manual recount would be meaningless if it was based on corrupted electronic data.

Black Box Voting was the first to sound the alarm, and remains the authority, along with EFF.
