Ann Coulter: God Punishing Houston for Lesbian Mayor ‘More Credible’ Cause of Hurricane Than Climate Change

She basically said the God punishing theory was absurd. 

Then by extension, she is saying that predictions by scientists that storm frequency and intensity increasing with CO2/Global warming are more absurd, which just makes her sound more idiotic than usual.

For God's sake.

Annise Parker was a lifelong political hack who was slightly less unqualified than her opponent in her initial mayoral race (a yawner).

The lesbianism was not a particular issue, during the races or her terms in office.

 

The current mayor, Sylvester Turner, was probably elected chiefly because he was black (in looking at the characteristics of the voter turnout), but he's proven himself to be an exceptional, tirelessly engaged leader since the day he took office.  I don't live in Houston and wouldn't be involved in that vote, but if I did and were, I'd vote for him in an absolute heartbeat.

Watched the new mayor on livestream this afternoon, he seems like a good man, very humorous.

Krikey! I think this post should be grounds to pull your MDL card.

Sophie's choice. Mass evacuations would have meant that many people who were rescued from their homes might end up stranded on the roads, amid rising waters. Stranded on the roof beats drowning in the bayou. 

The problem is that, if (e.g.) Galveston is ordered to evacuate, everyone in every other town/'burb will hit the road then, too.

The Katrina New Orleans disaster was squarely on the corrupt mayor and Govoners shoulders. The feds begged them to evacuate.

Didn't he get locked up

True, true, and think so.

Indeed.  During all this, he's stated openly that he doesn't care about saving face, but rather about results.

The newish Police Chief is a true winner, too, and his bilingual abilities at the press conferences are extremely helpful.

She said that the God punishing theory was more plausible than climate change being the culprit for extreme weather. That is absurd.

I think that is the benefit reaped from Katrina. When you're talking about disasters in a major metropolitan area, you need to consider that it wold take weeks to properly evacuate everyone, and do it safely. I mean, there are traffic jams on a good sunny dry day when people are commuting. You can only imaging what would happen if everyone decided to leave Houston in one go. 

 

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The mayor made the right call on this one.
