And others have jobs. When was the last time you were gainfully
employed, Steve? Oh, that's right, you retired at 40, didn't you?


At 50, due to disabilty, and I didn't have to lie about a thing.

I know that sounds utterly amazing to you, having that PhD and all!


If you can type on the internets 24/7 you are not too disabled to work.


But I'm not here typing 24/7, boy!

Please, and I know it's tough for you, but try to pay attention.

We're talking about freezing rain, not tornados.

The freezing rain was accompanied by strong winds. The news accounts
refer to it as a "storm."

The widespread power outages could have been less severe with a little
right-of-way maintenance. If you'd quit voting against taxes maybe you
wouldn't be freezing in the dark right now.

The "disaster" was foreseen and you chose to do nothing.

Dorkus Maximus has spoken!

Pruning trees in KY is much more expensive than pruning palm trees in
Los Angeles. Even with tax increases state and municipal gov't are
facing billions in cutbacks due to the worsening economy. Forgive us
if we put more emphasis on saving our school system than in pruning
trees.

Armchair quarterbacks always have the answer.

My link was for Georgia, not Los Angeles. My personal experience comes
for a learned-the-hard-way lesson when Katrina visited Houston in 1983
and my power was out for 10 days, due to trees taking out all the power
lines.

How hard is it to trim ****ing trees?
