AfricaOwn Posted January 4, 2013 I wonder how does it feel to be northeast republican whose constituency was affected by Sandy. Of course this got Peter King heated as expected: “These Republicans have no problem finding New York when they’re out raising millions of dollars,” King said on Fox News. “They’re in New York all the time filling their pockets with money from New Yorkers. I’m saying right now, anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to Congressional Republicans is out of their minds. Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans. It was an absolute disgrace.” http://www.politico.com/story/2013/01/issa-sandy-bill-was-a-pork-fest-85668.html#ixzz2H1RpmKWn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AfricaOwn Posted January 4, 2013 What do you know, the House approves the $9.7B in aid for Sandy victims. I just think 9.7B for New York and New Jersey just seems awful a lot money filled with pork spending. http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/04/politics/house-sandy-bill-vote/index.html?hpt=us_c2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Male and female names alternate Ike of 2008 and Andrew of 1992 are two of the most expensive hurricanes. They are only eclipsed by Katrina. Names are assigned by National Hurricane Center. Initially, when they first start naming hurricanes, it was all female names but in 1979, males were also included. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
