Blog spotlight: Wally reminds everyone Hurricane Wilma did hit the US shores

Wally is the newest member of The Common Ills community to start up a web site. The Daily Jot is intended to be a five day a week blog where Wally notes something that's in the news.
This week, The Daily Jot didn't post "daily." Wally lives in Florida. Maybe you heard, they had a hurricane. Hurricane Wilma. Didn't produce the headlines of Rita or Katrina. But people in some areas of Florida are still effected. Wally was in a safe area but chose to leave that as Hurricane Wilma was about to hit when he learned from his mother that his grandfather wasn't leaving his house (in what turned out to be an unsafe area). Wally's skipped classes for the week and intends to stay on at least another week.


"Bully Boy Comes To Town"

Bully Boy comes to town . . .

Couple days after the Hurricane hit. Lot like 9/11, lot like Hurricane Katrina, lot like everything else he does. Not the brightest even in his own family. He's the kind of guy who's always handing out belated birthday cards.

Power? We've got the generator. That means standing in the gas lines.

But he was all over the radio yesterday telling us how good we got it.

We got it so good that over 1/2 of us without power when the hurricane hit still don't have power.We got it so good that "good news" is P&L thinks everyone will have electricity by . . . Thanksgiving.

Bully Boy said something like "Soon more and more homes will have power. Their life will get back to normal."

But he doesn't seem overly concerned. Hear he got some nice photo ops out of it.
Meanwhile, people stand in line for ice and water.

Guess he has other things on his mind with the whole Harriet thing blowing up in his face and rumors that Patrick Fitzgerald will indict someone today?

He came. He spun. He left.

I think the third thing's the only thing to cheer about.
