Saturday Open Thread [9.1.12]

Filed in Open Thread by on September 1, 2012

Officially September and the air already seems that much more political. Sorry for the lateness of this thread — apparently we are all busy today.

Here’s a neighbor I am really glad I don’t have — AC/DC Song, Frying Pan Land Woman Behind Bars 4 Times In One Day. This woman was arrested 4 times in 26 hours for playing “Highway to Hell’ way too loudly and then throwing a frying pan at her nephew trying to leave the house. Yikes.

So Rmoney goes to Louisiana on a Disaster Tour and tells a woman who told him about her house being underwater this:

“He just told me to, um, there’s assistance out there,” Chiarello said of her conversation with Romney. “He said, go home and call 211.” That’s a public service number offered in many states.
Chiarello said she will likely seek some other shelter because her home was submerged in the flooding. She expressed frustration about the town’s lack of flood protection.

Really. He should have told her about Ryan’s plan to cut $10B from emergency funding and to institute essentially a PAYGO plan (cutting form other parts of the budget) when disasters hit. That plan didn’t go anywhere, but this is the so-called intellectual part of the GOP in action.

And after the GOP convention, President Obama takes a meeting with Clint Eastwood:

Looks productive, right?

What interests you today?
