Homeless numbers rising from the hurricanes
Apparently FEMA is too overwhelmed to help all the God fearing, righteous Floridians who have been left homeless by the hurricanes. But, at least gays can't marry.

2. Ohio is a mess too....
I have a friend who is still waiting for SBA paperwork to go through and is living in a flood-damaged home with no heat.

3. Employment numbers up temporarily for the same reason...
although you barely heard that when Cnn crowed about new job numbers last week.

4. Don't forget companies are ramping up for Christmas. Just watch
the unemployment figures for January.

5. I talked to a condo owner in Melbourne this week. Their apartments
were gutted and the roofs need repairing. I asked about all that federal money. They haven't seen a dime. I wonder where that $12 billion is going.
