Comments on: Bag of Randomness http://www.bagofnothing.com/2008/09/bag-of-randomness-32/ Because that's all I have to offer Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:50:46 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: dan http://www.bagofnothing.com/2008/09/bag-of-randomness-32/comment-page-1/#comment-109677 dan Mon, 15 Sep 2008 17:26:15 +0000 http://www.bagofnothing.com/?p=17858#comment-109677 1) It seems I read somewhere that after the 1900 Hurricane; the city of Galveston had to pile the dead bodies of citizens and livestock into pyres and burn them because of the difficulties in dealing with so many corpses. I can’t imagine what it could be like for the survivors, who were slowly learning to cope after the disaster, and then having to deal with the slow return of victim-bodies to the beaches weeks later 2) Does anyone see a problem with the media in Galveston talking about citizens refusing to leave despite the mandatory evacuation order when the media themselves decided to stay and broadcast throughout the storm? 3) Some observers have noted McCain likes to travel with Palin because he can draw bigger crowds when she’s there. As a team, he has sort of become Ed McMahon to her Johnny Carson. I saw him speaking today and even though she wasn’t present he referred to her continually throughout his speech and how they were going to shake things up. What’s eerie is that both of them have said they don’t know much about economics. This has to be an election for the history books when a vice presidential candidate has had such a positive effect on the presidential candidate 1) It seems I read somewhere that after the 1900 Hurricane; the city of Galveston had to pile the dead bodies of citizens and livestock into pyres and burn them because of the difficulties in dealing with so many corpses.
