I root for hurricanes. When, courtesy of the Weather Channel, I see one forming in the ocean off the coast of Africa, I find myself longing for it to become big and strong—Mother Nature’s fist of fury, Gaia’s stern rebuke. Considering the havoc mankind has wreaked upon nature with deforesting, stripmining, and the destruction of animal habitat, it only seems fair that nature get some of its own back and teach us that there are forces greater than our own. Sure, a hearty volcano can be enjoyable. Burning rivers of lava: so picturesque. But a volcano is stationary, like Dennis Hastert after a big lunch. (was that jab really neccessary) It doesn’t offer the same dramatic suspense. Hurricanes are in unpredictable flux. They move, change direction, strengthen, weaken, lose an eyewall, repair an eyewall; they seem to have volition and opera-diva personalities.

So there’s something disappointing when a hurricane doesn’t make landfall, or peters out into a puny Category One.

First of all this schmuck believes in the Gaia hypothesis and even roots for it. If you didn’t know, this hypothesis has proclaimed the earth is one big giant living organism, us the people are virus’, and natural disasters (such as the Black Plague) are sent every once in a while to wipe a portion of us out. I don’t know what Gaia was on when he came up with that crap, but obviously he would have been some environmentalist whacko today. Anyways, back on subject. Anyone who wishes for natural diasters that kills people, takes away homes, and causes potential desease has something mentally wrong with them. I like to see Hurricanes that are big and strong too, just not hitting anywhere near land. Has anyone heard crap like this from a Republican?

And as Rob wished him, enjoy your track back spam James!
