Seriously, we need term limits and to pay them pennies a day when they are session. In NH, they are in session for 15 days. They are paid $200. That's it. None of this crap in Albany. There's no income tax or sales tax in NH except on dining out, hotels, gas, rental cars, things like that.
Term limits may be our only hope for getting rid of the clowns! But they would never impose that on their cash cow.

More damage is done buy our senate and assembly than any antural disaster...tax tax tax - far worse than an earthquake or hurricane. |

Yep, taxes taxes taxes. The great scourge of NY. But you gotta admit NY teachers, cops, and other govt employees are pretty well paid with great benefits. Then you have the unions, with their hands in everything.

I was thinking of a massive snow storm? |

Don't worry it will be the gamma ray burst on 12/21 2012, coming from the center of our galaxy as all the great civilizations ahead of us have warned.  
Or maybe it's here already it snuck in on a bird, then a tick and they call it lyme. 
Hope for a darn cold winter across the east coast, it won't be a disaster it will be a blessing. Freeze the little buggers.
But for now, it's 59, sunny, the markets going sideways so I'm going out.
Carpe Diem |

The biggest danger I contemplate is any electrical outage in freezing temperatures that lasts long enough to freeze and burst water pipes.
