Finished your BLT?

North Carolina is home to many industrial hog farms, which produce lagoons of this stuff.  They will soon be inundated by Hurricane Florence, overflow, and contaminate everything for miles around.  In addition to weeks without electricity and other modern conveniences, people will not be able to use their water.  Isn't science swell?

Well, there not so much.  In North Carolina, it's actually a crime to invoke "global climate change" in planning for things like coastal erosion.  Yes, according to the state legislature, that solves the problem.  Duke Energy and its coal ash pits?  Don't give it a thought -- the lawmakers don't.  All the arsenic, lead and mercury left over when they burn beautiful clean coal to keep the lights on, perfectly fine in the environment.  This is a state run by Republicans.  I prefer pig feces and urine.

Maybe the magic spell cast by Pat Robertson will avert disaster.  Maybe FEMA will do a better job than it managed in Puerto Rico, which, I understand, is an island.  (Apparently you can't drive trucks to an island.  Why didn't Obama ever tell us that?  Unstable not-genius.)  After all, the administrator, Brock Long, lives in Hickory; he has himself driven home frequently, in government vehicles and at our expense, which has attracted the attention of the inspector general of the DHS.  On the Trumpite Grift Scale, this is barely a bump, unless he stops on the way to party with hookers and cocaine.  Besides, nobody who died in Puerto Rico really died except maybe from old age, crisis actors, fake news, a plot by Democrats to divert money to the island.  Speaking of diverting money, guess who chose the height of hurricane season to divert ten million dollars from FEMA to the ICEstapo?  No, not crooked Hillary.  Guess again.
