Katrina and the Waves  :whistling:

Most unfortunate band name ever. I'm really surprised they didn't rename themselves after the hurricane.

Having lived in Burlington County, NJ, for several years, yes, it's true.  It's one of the two states I know of that have such a law, 'To protect jobs.'  It wouldn't really slow things up particularly, though, that's more an electric power and fuel supply issue.

The ironic thing is the first self serve gas station I ever saw was in NJ in the late 60's.

Katrina who?

Exactly what I was thinking:

Really New Orleans! YOU LIVE BELOW SEA LEVEL! There was a mandatory evacuation order! You knew the storm was coming yadda yadda...

Of course this has nothing to do with the hurricane victims' preparation or lack thereof. It's the fact that they had the temerity to complain to the MSM about the response, just a few days before the election, that has the DUmmies in a snit. That's been the decree at DU for the last few months: No complaining about Dear Leader until he is re-elected. Until then you must suffer in dignified silence for the greater good. Once he is ensconced for another four years you may continue wheedling for your pony, and he may turn His Great Grinning Visage upon you and cast a few crumbs your way.

Well, Staten Island ain't DU, DUmmies. You can't bully them, ban them or hide their threads for expressing disapproval. This is not the Hive, it's reality.

I pay cash AND I don't have to get out of my warm (or cool) car.  It's a winner for me -- the only downside . . . no gas station bouncies!

I know, I love that OR does this. Hate having to get out of my car and don't have gasoline smell on my hands.

YOU LIVE ON A ****IN ISLAND!! and need to take a ferry to get there.

Uh-oh...someone better tell the DUmmies that there's actually (gasp!) BRIDGES that connect Staten Island to both NJ (at least 3 I can think of) and Brooklyn...I should know.  When Scoobie and I went to NYC last Thanksgiving, we went to Staten Island (she grew up there for a while as a child) and we actually took the, oh, what was that famous bridge again???

OH YEAH--THE ****ING VERRAZANO-NARROWS BRIDGE.  Free one way, $13 toll the other.  You know, at the time the longest suspension bridge in the world?  Where the NYC Marathon was supposed to start on Sunday?

****ing idiots.
