@jpodhoretz It’s not good. It’s not good.

@alexheard @abestreep I’m telling you. We’re 24 hours from major bad news on the civil-society front.

Difference between Katrina, Irene, and Sandy? 30 degrees. It’s getting pretty cold.

It’s cold. And there’s no gas. And millions without power. And it’s going to start getting unsafe, is my guess. #Sandy

Oh, and one more note. Lest anyone think that my criticism, both at the time and in retrospect, of Mayor Bloomberg’s decision to delay the evacuation of “Zone A” until just hours before the subways closed — and to order no evacuation of “Zone B” — is an academic point, check out the response to this Eric Holthaus tweet yesterday:
I haven’t heard….. does anyone know if any Zone B areas had coastal flooding? (h/t @nevis_highwire) #Sandy

@wsjweather @nevis_highwire Yes, Soho in Zone B flooded. Basement apts around the corner from me were completely flooded.

@wsjweatherfriends who live near the gowanus said they were zone B (I think) and were horribly flooded ( @c1aire_collins — am I right?)
— jessa (@laurenjessa) November 1, 2012
@laurenjessa @wsjweather Yes, You are right. We had over a foot of the GOWANUS CANAL water in our apartment. We were in Zone B.

@nevis_highwire see recent retweets. yes, it appears there were many spots in Zone B that got flooding.
— Eric Holthaus (@WSJweather) November 1, 2012
But yeah, totally, let’s lionize Bloomberg — who advised Zone B residents that they didn’t need to evacuate, even when there was a clear threat of catastrophic flooding — declaring his performance “sterling,” and hell, let’s make him president while we’re at it. Awesome.

Thanks for all this – I have been reading avidly for the last 10 days – sat in my cold dark (internetless)apt in NJ re-reading print out of your “Board is Set; Pieces are Moving” post – memorable days!
The Americans will be all fired up about their own disaster and help each other. I suggest that you send your entire donation to Haiti, which will get forgotten in the in the much better documented American event.
The Governor’s Office will have a live feed right here.
Things are really starting to get crazy out there.

Of course we know Joe Gordon was the only guy from that group who got inducted, but it’s interesting to see Dahlen, Ferrell, Walters and White again. Either it’s a good sign that there’s plenty of support for them, or a bad sign that there wasn’t enough to get them in then, and there won’t be now.
Is there a ML baseball team that would not be interested in shields, you have 27 more teams to Mention….
