prepare yourself, I'm about to be a dickhead

So I'm glad that Rita wasn't (or at least not yet) all that destructive and has pretty much died down...why?...because I'm a bleeding heart and I want no one to be hurt...well that's a great second thought...but mostly I'm glad because that means that this story won't be as buried...and neither will the illegal Frist stock sale...or (hopefully but I doubt it) another in the ever-increasing Rovian controversies...whoohoo!

oh yeah, I hope not too many poor people who couldn't afford to evacuate aren't harmed either...
