An overlay of the paths of Hurricanes Ivan, Frances, and Charley, over a map of which counties voted for Bush vs. which ones voted for Gore in the 2000 election.

*dies* If God sends these things as warnings, that's an amusingly definitive signal.

Yeah, I was listening to the radio in my car this morning and heard about this guy in Florida who lost his six-year-old daughter in the floodwaters while he was trying to hang onto his sixteen-year-old other daughter.

Needless to say, I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard. HA HA HA TAKE THAT FLORIDA SIX YEAR OLD, GOD AM BOMBAD DEMOCRAT NOW.

Seriously, though, it's a shame that Florida never caught onto all those years before the Bushes, when they never had a single hurricane _ever_. Nope, back in those days the hurricanes would plow through the Carribbean and just fade away into another universe once they hit the mainland. I'm surprised Kerry doesn't play this up more in his speeches.

Note that the joke isn't claiming that Florida dodged hurricanes for years before now. Note also the general irony of having a record year for hurricanes (and generally fucked-up weather all year) right before the vote whether or not to hang onto the administration that continues to deny that the climate is going wonky and that people seem to have had something to do with it. Then go look up the term "dark humor" and the phrase "whistling in the dark."
