And we were told, that under the current conditions in the country, your guy (or rather girl) was gonna win in a landslide.  Brrt.  Dynamic, fluid.  Not static.  That's why most of the predictions (and not forecasts) are yeeeeaaaarrrrssss out.  That way, they can gin up funds to support their non-profits.  Al Gore is SO arrogant, he doesn't even feel obliged to explain the hypocrisy when he flies in on his private jet to talk somewhere about how bad oil is.  You know his family owns oil wells, right?  As for surfing a tsunami, that would be totally radical!!  Gnarly dude.  No lie... I told my surfing buddy that if I was diagnosed w/ some fantabulous kinda disease or something, he would take me to Sandys w/ my shorts and fins (not even T-shirt or slippas!) and drop me off.  He could go to Maunalua bay to find me later.  I will say that I surfed during 2 hurricanes.  Fico, I think was in 1977, 78...I forget when, but got arrested for that one.  They let me go in about 2 hrs.  I was 12.
