I was hoping to be able to retire this icon soon, but no luck

I don't think I can watch coverage of Gustav. It's like watching a trainwreck in slow motion.

Though on a more positive note, no one's died in Cuba so far.

Also, Nagin, you douche, you can demand that people leave all you like, but if they don't have the resources to get out, they'll stay there, and die, just like last time.

2 of my friends left the san Francisco Bay Area to move back to New Orleans only six weeks ago. They left this place because they couldn't afford the high cost of living here. (Rent is about, something like, $500,000 a week for a walk-in closet around here.)

I've been trying to call them to see what's up with them. The first few tries got "all circuits are busy..." messages. I finally left them a voicemail, but still haven't heard back from them.

I hope they made it out.
