God’s wrath?

obviously not meant to be entirely serious.
just a little bit serious. heh.

anyway, i think it still is fairly funny no matter where you might lean, assuming it is accurate…

    ok, so you got me to turn the comments back on.

    i heard this on NPR last night too (big surprise) and after doing some poking around this morning, it looks like your Mr. Morris did some fudging with the Charley and Frances tracks. Specifically, he changed the northernmost tracks to avoid the following “Democratic” counties: Gadsen, Leon, Jefferson, Flager and Volusia (and possibly Orange and Osceola.

    The Frances track I’m less sure about, as I’m going off of some small images (anyone find any better than http://www.met.fsu.edu/explores/Tropical/2004/td06/td06.cgi and http://www.met.fsu.edu/explores/Tropical/2004/td03/td03.cgi?), but Charley didn’t jaunt near as much north as he illustrates.

    Anyway, if it *were* the case that he was accurately portraying the hurricane paths (and even if he isn’t, close enough for all I care), it is interesting. Maybe God’s just getting sick of hearing Bush prattle on about all religions being essentially good.

    ok, at first i thought the title was “Got Wrath?”
    like some sick play on the milk slogan…
    guess i’m just illiterate.

    for some reason everytime i’d glance at it i kept thinking i forgot the ’s on God so it was just “God wrath” so who knows it could just be a mess with those particular letters in that situation.

    and trust me. you will most likely NEVER catch me using that horrid milk slogan with another slogan/idea to be cute, catchy, funny, clever, or even just flat out annoying or lame or stupid or blah blah blah. its a terrible slogan with terrible pictures and it has been whored out by too many people. thank you.

    Stupid of me to keep on this topic, I know.

    Here ( http://mt.axbdesign.net/misc/h1.jpg ) is a shot of Jeanne’s windspeeds. Notice the red. That’s “Hurricane Force” winds. Notice that there are hurricane force winds beyond the “track” that the original graphic provided. The author of the original map may not be aware that hurricanes are larger than a mile or two wide, but I’m sure many Floridians are.

    that’s fine.

    i originally posted it because my evil left leaning side wanted to use something that would allow someone a “haha” towards the other direction, purposely ignoring that it could contain much error :)
    just the thought gave me that 2 second “haha”

    it’s long over :)
