NINE inches of rain in a day in , Washington, DC? Is it an act of God?

[Radio_Lady]

Sorry for all you folks who live around there, but I wish it would wash away the stain on the White House.

[NMMNG]

1. Yes, too bad old Chimpy didn't get flooded out and washed away

It would be nice, wouldn't it? :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. Well, once again Shakespeare was ahead of the times...

LADY MACBETH: Yet here's a spot.

DOCTOR: Hark, she speaks. I will set down that comes from her to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.

LADY MACBETH: Out, damned spot; out, I say. One, two,--why, then 'tis time to do't. Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier and afeard? What need we fear who knows it when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?

DOCTOR: Do you mark that?

LADY MACBETH: The Thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now? What, will these hands ne'er be clean? No more o' that, my lord, no more o' that. You mar all with this starting.

DOCTOR: Go to, go to. You have known what you should not.

GENTLEWOMAN: She has spoke what she should not, I am sure of that. Heaven knows what she has known.

LADY MACBETH: Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. O, O, O!


Me<==Literary Geek...I own both volumes of the Shakespeare Lexicon, even though I have no real use for them.

8. Very appropriate quotation. nt

[NewWaveChick1981]

3. Nature senses the uncleanliness in Washington and is trying

to rid itself of the stench. :)

[CBHagman]

4. All Mother Nature got was a tree on the WH grounds.

You've probably heard that a 100-year-old tree went down in the storm. :cry:

I've been one of the luckier people -- no flooded-out streets, no water damage (yet). I get to work easily. But my co-workers are all having problems coming in by Metro or other means, and just a few blocks from where I live, roads have been covered with water AND mud.

But you're right, Radio Lady. When Bush leaves the White House, I'm going over there with holy water and a "free at last" sign.

5. No, it's an act of global frickin warming.

[anarch]

6. meh...at least we're caught up on our water deficit now

That sort of thing is better spread out over several weeks, but hey, we're no longer in a drought situation. More coming tonight, too. Yay.

[meegbear]

7. Only if a Democrat was in office ...

just ask Pat or Jerry.

[Bassic]

9. Just be thankful it's not raining Nine Inch Nails

Yeah, it's sucks, but someone had to do it.

[Hissyspit]

10. I drove home in it Sunday night! Part of the Beltline was closed.
