The CBC is really bad when it comes to some of their staffers – they really hire based on quality of “nookie” as opposed to whether or not that 24-year-old Chief of Staff can actually read and comprehend proposed legislation to the extent they can adequately brief their boss so their boss is not always caught with the “deer-in-headlights” look when they get asked about it like John Conyers got asked if he'd actually read the Patriot Act before he voted on it in “Fahrenheit 9/11″.

I still cringe at that memory. Yeech…

The Insurance losses after Ike in the Galveston area. They are now reporting 75% of the Homes there were destroyed or rendered “uninhabitable”.
