North Dakota News\n\nThis text is from a county emergency manager out in the western part of North Dakota state after the recent snow storm.\n\n\nWEATHER BULLETIN\n\n\nUp here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from an Historic event--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.\nFYI:\nGeorge Bush did not come.\nFEMA did nothing.\nNo one howled for the government.\nNo one blamed the government.\nNo one even uttered an expletive on TV.\nJesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.\nOur Mayor's did not blame Bush or anyone else.

why not got many lol.\n\n1. A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel plans. \n\nSo, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. \n\nHowever, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email. \n\nMeanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. \n\nAfter reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read: \n\nTo: My loving wife\nSubject: I've arrived\nDate: April 6, 2006\n\n\nI know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was. \n\nP.S. sure is freaking hot down here!!!!! \n\n2. After numerous rounds of "We don't know if Osama Bin Laden is still alive", Osama decided to personally send President Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was "still in the game". \n\nMr. Bush opened the letter, which contained a single line of "coded" message: \n\n370HSSV-0773H \n\nMr. Bush was baffled, so he sent copies to his Chief of Staff, and several Secretaries, including Condi Rice and Donald Rumsfeld. \n\nTheir assistants and aides had no clue as to the meaning or translation of the code, so it was sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, then to the CIA and also to NASA.\n\nWith no clue to the translation, they eventually asked Israel's MOSAD for help. \n\nWithin a minute, MOSAD cabled the White House with this reply: \n\n"Tell the President he is holding the message upside down."\n\n3. Fred had been very religious and was in the hospital in a very ill condition. The family called their priest to stand with them. As the priest stood next to the bed, Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate suddenly and Fred motioned frantically for something to write on. \n\nThe priest lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper. Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, and then he died. The priest thought it best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket. \n\nAt Fred's funeral, as he was finishing the ceremony, the priest realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing when Fred died. \n\nHe said, "You know, Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all." \n\nHe took the note from his pocket and read, "You are standing on my oxygen tube!" \n\n4. A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position. After sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to 3 men, but only one position was available. \n\nThe day came for the final test to see which man would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follo

I think the weather is off because, I don't think that the news is the greatest thing for the weather. One time they said it was going to rain, I was excited, but dissappointed. I wonder when did they decide to be the foretellers of the world. Maybe everysince they've started showing the news; now their inaccuracies are on the internet. Too bad for the people. But I say good job on the forecast on the Katrina and the hurricanes that they've warned people about in advanced, you have to give them that.

I know its not short, but I couldn't resist:\n\nRed States vs. Blue States\n\nWith the Blue States in hand, the Democrats have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, over 90% of our pineapple and lettuce, 92% of all fresh fruit production, 93% of the artichoke production, 95% of America's export quality wines, 90% of all cheese production, 90% of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Amherst, Stanford, Berkeley, CalTech and MIT.\n\nWe can live simply but well.\n\nThe Red States, on the other hand, now have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care cost spike), 92% of all US mosquitoes, 100% of all tornadoes, 90% of all hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, 100% of all Televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.\n\nA high price to pay for controlling the presidency.\n\nAdditionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually eaten by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% believe that evolution is just a theory, 53% that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11 and, most difficult of all to grasp, 61% believe that Bush is a person of moral conviction!

Very good link, Pops but you are missing the point!  Liberals say things to garner votes (which way is the wind blowing?) not to make the world safer.  They don't even believe we are in a war, just arrest a few terrorists and haul them into US courts to mete out fines - Poof! - problem ended.  If you read the link below you will get a very different impression of what Bush must deal with (without liberal support).

You forgot the queen of lies, Ann Coulter!\n\n(Not for poster)  Well I hope they have a lot of fodder to chew on, as we do! Bush is still in the White House, but he won't be for long!\n\nWhether you know it or not, or want to believe it or not, thanks to Bush and his policies we are headed for a recession! Companies have sent about as many jobs overseas that they can! Housing starts have dried up 30% and we have a massive deficit and a war deficit that hasn't even been added yet!\n\nWhy is it you keep getting elected and we have to clean up your mess?\n\nPs: At least if we are duped, like you have been, it won't be by the lying Fox News!

Okay, see if this might work for you:  If not, you can summarize the summary?  Good luck......[my auto spell correct thing is not working, so proof this real good for spelling.........avalm@sbcglobal.net\n\nSTATE THE MAIN POJNTS  AND IMPORTANT POINTS, SUMMARIZE: \n\n\n  FACT:    The climate is crashing and global warming is to blame\n\n  ISSUE:     Why the crisis hit so soon –\n\nCONCLUSION:    What we can do about it.\n                                        SUMMARIZE:\n\nThere is a crisis upon us which has taken years to evolve, however  there is no more speculation, it is here, and it is called, Gobal Warming.\n\nLate last year, it was found that Greenland ice is not just melting but doing so more than twice as fast , with 53 cu. Mi. draining away into the sea last year alone, compared with 22 cu. Mi. in 1996.  A cubic mile of water is about five times the amount Los Angeles uses in a year. This much water dumped into the ocean is very danerous.  Icebergs don’t raise sea levels when they melt because thery’re floating, which means they have displaced all the water they are ever going to.  But ice on land, like Greenland’s is a different matter.  Our that into oceans that are already rising, (because warm water expands), and you deluge shorelines.  Estimations have it that the entire Greenland ice sheet woud be enough to raise global  sea  levels 23 ft. swallowing up large parts of coastal Florida and most of  Bangladesh.  The Antarctic holds enough ice to raise sea levels more than 215 ft.\nA category 5 storm with wind bursts that reached 180 m.p.h. exploded through northeastern Australia, recently.  Indonesia skies turned orange as curtains of fire and dust swirled through in fury, due to drought fueled blazes sweeping the  island nation.\nSections of ice the size of small states calve from the disintegrating Arctic and Antarctic, and sodden wreckage of New Orleans continues to molder, while the waters of the Atlantic gather themselves for a new hurricane season just two months away.  \n\nCarbon dioxide helped warm Earth to comfort levels we are all used to.  But too much of it does an lot of damage.  The few hundred parts per million that the gas represents in the overall air blanket, are powerful because they allow sunlight to stream in , however prevent much of the heat from radiating back out.  During the last ice age, the atmosphere’s CO2 concentration was 180 p.p.m., putting Earth into a deep freeze.  After the glaciers retreated but before the dawn of the modern era, the total had risen to a comfortable 280 P.P.M..In the past century and a half, the level has been pushed to 381 p.p.m. and we’re feeling the effects.  Of the 20 hottest years on record, 19 occurrred in the 1980’s or later.  The year 2005 was one of the hottest years in more than a century.  \n \nFor decades scientists have been warning us that if we continued pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, tripping  the heat that flows in from the sun and raising global temperatures, our earth would become ill and human activity has caused it.  \n\nAddressing the problem was hindered by popular skepticism about climatological science.  However, now scientists along with the public and energy companies are taking notice.    New books regarding global warming , TV and theatrical documentaries are bringing more awareness to the public about this evolving and fast moving, progressive problem including , the most notable of which is a film , “An Inconvienient Truth” by former Vice President Al Gore and his climate change work.\n\nFinally because of such public stirrings, politicians and business leaders, state and local lawmakers and major corporations have started taking action to curb emissions.   Our own President Bush, now acknowleges climate change , however most of the steps he  is taking involve research and voluntary emissions controls, which is not what the scientists are calling for in laws.  \n\nIt is not clear, if it is to late t

Yes, all his messages are reported in the U.S.  There was a new one just two weeks ago.  But there have been so many, and they are so rambling and incoherent, that we just can't remember all of them.\nIf you've never heard of these messages, then try tuning to National Public Radio every morning, or the News Hour on PBS every evening.

I too would be appalled if an American history professor knew nothing about the SDS, the Weather Underground, and so forth.  This stuff is extremely basic American history.\n\nI'd love to know where you go to college, too, so that I can look up the areas of specialization of your professors to find out what they've published.  Right now, I'm wondering why they even have jobs.

Start with Al Gore's Inconvieniant Truth to get the big picture. Then if you can consider other people elsewhere besides where you live you would know they are being effected right now. The world is warming up and ice is melting everywhere. We should all be very concerned......

How come, a person who is crying because they are scared of what might happen, are calling liberals "wussies"?  \n\nI guess this is what happens when you continue to follow STUPID!\n\nBTW. . .WWJD?\n\nFarzand A:  It is a fact that "ALL MEDIA" is biased depending on ones particular view.  Which is why everyone and anyone should seek as many different sources possible to gain information.  \n\nI check many sources (using the Internet) to see through the eyes outside of this country, as it pretty obvious that every U.S. news station will tend to protect this nation (and it is understandable).  While our constitution states we have freedom of the press, the press is free to report the news as the owners see fit.  It does not guarantee that it has to be reported straight up and with no holds barred.\n\nToday the ignorant stay ignorant by choice, however, stupidity is a Birth Right and no amount of knowledge can help them. . .In this forum it is difficult to tell the two apart, and the whole concept that a 45 is the best solution,  proves my point.

Thank you for offering to help!\n\nFirst, we've got to get our government off its lazy, money grubbing butt.  It has to make the decision to move the trailers and then implement that decision.  Time is wasting away and there are hurricane victims in desparate need of housing -- Some of them are being evicted from their temporary hotel housing now.\n\nTo kick 'em into gear, write your senators and your congressman.  Tell them that you are deeply dissapointed that the trailers are just sitting, doing nobody any good.  Then, get your friends and family to start writing letters.  Have your friends and family get their friends to write.  Write to your local TV and radio stations and tell them that you, your friends and your family are writing and that you would appreciate it if they would get the word out to others.\n\nThis has become the highest order of incompetency.  I understand the rule about not setting up temporary housing in a flood plain, but give me a break!  I would hope that our government would at least be embarrassed into action by now!\n\nSorry for the rant and thank you for giving me the opportunity to say something in another forum.
