Could the Obama admin get any more inept? Under Bush, FEMA had
trailers outside NO within 48 hours after Katrina hit yet 5 DAYS after
the ice storm in KY they have done nothing. So far 40-some people
have died while Obama is busy trying to stuff his cronies pockets with
"Stimulus".

Ky doesn't need trailers. They need restoration of power. People are
also more self reliant in KY.

Thats as bad as the Power Company in Michigan, I think it was, that
cut off the power of a WW II Veteran over a confusion in a late
payment. The man had no trouble paying the bill, they think he forgot

Are you really as stupid as this post as yours? If there is ineptness,
it is on the part of the probably privately owned power companies
serving Kentucky. Despite their gouging their customers for years, they
obviously have not spent enough on training and equipment to meet the
needs of their customers in case of weather emergencies. It's just
another private sector failure.

Harry, your reply is just as stupid IMO. Kentucky isn't exactly an area
that
experiences regular winter ice storms like those of this winter.
The power companies rely on mutual assistance from other states for this
type

Well, then, you certainly cannot rely on privately owned power
companies, can you? Or publicly owned power companies, either. In fact,
these days, you cannot rely on much of anything.

Two points:

One: If FEMA is not in Kentucky, after this long, it is because the
Governor of Kentucky has not requested Federal aid in witting. Its a
states rights issue. It is possible that unlike other areas of the
country that can not blow their noses without federal assistance,
Kentucky is prepared to do it themselves.

Two: If you were not lost in your virtual world, or would get away from
the coastal cities, you would know there are power company crews from
all over the country working to restore power in the area. There are
national agreements between the power companies to provide assistance in
this type of situation. I have been through several hurricanes,
tornadoes, and ice storm, each time these outside crews are there
working beside with the crews from the local company.

If you drive the interstates during these times you would see, convoy
after convoy of power trucks going to and from the area of the disaster.
I am surprised at the distance they come, some times several hundreds
of miles to respond.

And when will you're you president at least make a fly over?

All your stupid candor and how you arrogantly blamed Bush for every

If Harry's objective was to further his education, I wonder why Harry
chose Univ. of Kansas when he could have chosen Univ. of Conn or the
Univ. of Mass. both excellent public schools, far superior to Kansas in
the 60's and 70's.

ditto.

I worked part time at a garage in Bethany. I didn't have a license at
first, the owner knew it, but didn't care.

He used to have me drive customers home who left their car there for service
and even had me drive into New Haven a couple of times to pick up parts.
15-1/2 years old, no license. If my parents had known, I'd have been dead
meat. He used to do maintenance work for the CT state police cars at the
barracks up the street from the garage. I used to drive the unmarked
cruisers with 429 Cobra Jet police package engines back and forth to and
from the barracks and knew many of the state troopers. Nobody ever
questioned if I had a license. I know at least one knew I didn't.

I always envied the high school juniors and seniors who, with the
assistance of their "guidance consolers", had chosen a field of
future employment by the ninth grade.

I was too busy investigating other things at that age to decide.

Eisboch


About all I was investigating in the 9th grade was ways to work after
school and on weekends to save up enough $$$ for the mandatory driving
school lessons I could take in the 10th grade to get my license.

My father said he would fix me up a car, but that paying for the
lessons was my part of the deal.

There were limited ways for those under 16 to work legal jobs in
Connecticut in those days. I mowed a lot of lawns and shoveled a lot
of snow off sidewalks.


ditto.

I worked part time at a garage in Bethany. I didn't have a license at
first, the owner knew it, but didn't care.

He used to have me drive customers home who left their car there for
service and even had me drive into New Haven a couple of times to pick
up parts. 15-1/2 years old, no license. If my parents had known, I'd
have been dead meat. He used to do maintenance work for the CT state
police cars at the barracks up the street from the garage. I used to
drive the unmarked cruisers with 429 Cobra Jet police package engines
back and forth to and from the barracks and knew many of the state
troopers. Nobody ever questioned if I had a license. I know at least
one knew I didn't.

Bethany, eh? I know that barracks well. I dated a gal in Waterbury for
a while, and I used to slow waaaaaaaay down passing that barracks. In
those days, speeders lost licenses, even for the first offense.

If you drove by the barracks, you probably remember the garage I worked at.
It was a Mobil station ... also a small Ford dealership. "Bethany Garage"
on the right side, about 2 miles or so before the barracks heading west.

The owner was a hot ****. He had three sons, all older than me, and was
well versed in handling teenaged boys. He was gruff, tuff, but had a heart
of gold.

I remember the minister of our small, struggling Episcopal church in Bethany
brought his old Rambler station wagon in to be serviced because he and his
young family were going on vacation. While on the lift during the oil
change and lube, the garage owner (a hard core Polish Catholic) started
checking it out and discovered it needed some serious work on the front end
components (tie rods, etc.)

He replaced all the worn parts, aligned it, fixed a few other safety related
issues and make me swear not to tell the minister. Charged him for an oil
change and lube job.

Naw. Back in Harry's day (and mine) one elected "liberal arts"

So, when your parents kicked you out and you didn't want to go to work?


You know, there is no need for you to keep on demonstrating you are
uneducated fool.


Your liberal arts education is failing you. Specifically in the are of
proper grammar.



Nah. New keyboard, driving me crazier - temporarily. It's a full size
Mac keyboard and has a few differences from the keyboard built into my

Are you really as stupid as this post as yours? If there is
ineptness, it is on the part of the probably privately owned power
companies serving Kentucky. Despite their gouging their customers for
years, they obviously have not spent enough on training and equipment
to meet the needs of their customers in case of weather emergencies.
It's just another private sector failure.


Harry, your reply is just as stupid IMO. Kentucky isn't exactly an
area that
experiences regular winter ice storms like those of this winter.
The power companies rely on mutual assistance from other states for
this type
of aberation.

Eisboch



Well, then, you certainly cannot rely on privately owned power
companies, can you? Or publicly owned power companies, either. In fact,
these days, you cannot rely on much of anything.




That's your problem. You and your union pals are forced to "rely" on
others rather than taking care of yourselves. You can't get any farther
left than that...
