Terror Tax on Stoners
Drug Dealers Avoid Subways, Take Taxis

Bag searches are costing New Yorkers more than just time. With the police declaring they’ll arrest subway riders if they find anything non-explosive but still illegal, the price of drug deliveries is rising. Nervous purveyors are pressing along the cost of taxis to customers.
“My dealer won’t take the train anymore” complains Wiley, a 30 year old marketing executive and avid pot smoker. “He charged me an extra $12 for his cab fare today. It’s ridiculous.” Call it the anti terror tax. “If the runners got to give a little extra, you’re gonna give a little extra” says Flower a grandmother and coke dealer who runs her business from a bar beneath her Lower East Side apartment (and says her clients before the crackdown included a network-news executive). She pauses on her bar stool. “Otherwise, come down here and get it yourself.”

Note: Pastor Jim Vineyard is one of the most vocal American opponents of the disengagement from Gaza. He leads a large flock based in Oklahoma.

Dear Pastor Vineyard,

The evacuation from Gaza was a terrible tragedy that uprooted thousands of Jews from their homes.

Hurricane Katrina is a terrible tragedy that has uprooted thousands, if not millions, of Americans.

Could it be possible, Pastor, that the Lord has judged America, measure for measure, for pressuring Israel to evacuate Jews from the Promised Land?

In the merit of all the good, God fearing Americas who opposed the evil disengagement plan, may America be spared from further tragedy. May our government realize the error of its ways and desist from pressuring Israel to make any further concessions to terror.

With Blessings,
Michael Wagner

And for a final thought, If a pictures worth a thousand words... Why it is these leave me speechless?

Katrina's losing her fight..

Call me odd, call me insane…. It’s all good. I don’t care.
I love tracking hurricanes!! I’m am sorry for the people who have to deal with them… but I would love to be there right now. In a safe place, but there, in the eye of the storm. definitely not here. but somewhere in the area. Who makes an evacuation site that has been known to be unstable??? Geniuses.

From north to south about 1,000 miles of pure destruction.

So if you have as strong an interest as I do you can check out these cool sites.
University of Wisconsin/meteorology department

This oneis cool. And you can use it from your phone. Granted you have to have a mobile web.
And there’s the ever obvious Weather Channel

For those of you who have dial up. Here's a Photo Gallery

Oh oh, if you have DSL, or a modem check check this out!
and this

If you want my personal prediction, its going to go east, right out to sea. :) lets hope.

Enjoy. And pray for em’

"Our rabbis teach that all of Israel are responsible for one another. We must all continue to care for each other and do everything we possibly can to help. When we do this, it seems to make life more livable.”
