    Having banned the use of the phrase, “climate change” in state laws Florida will next ban the public use of the word, “hurricane” and it’s plural and derivatives along with words and phrases such as, "typhoon " and, “tropical storm” and will change the words of the state anthem to, “LALALALALA! I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”

    Governor DeSantis was quoted as saying, “If we can convince the Trumpists rubes to shove their heads far enough up their own asses they may not notice the death and destruction while we rake in the final billions in political contributions before Florida slips into the ocean.”

    Wild question. Back in the day they’d say hurricanes were there to punish the gays, now that those states are hard red states what are they being punished for now? Being closeted and homophobic?

    Usually in the Caribbean, each island has a betting pool where you can select which storm name will hit you. Pay off depends on the island population. Knew a guy who won and bought himself a barrel of rum.

      In this case the literal interpretation may be the most accurate. Much like these.

    Here in Germany, it’s going to be 30 degrees this weekend. At the beginning of April. Absolute insanity. Ten degrees less would still be called “unseasonably warm”.

      That’s 86 F for all you freedom lovers, or the front seat temperature of a Ford F150 with 312 fresh Big Macs in the extended cab.
