NOAA cuts hurricane money, increases publicity costs.

Curses. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is throwing a big party in celebration of being 200 years old. Hoop de do. The cost: $4 million dollars. Here's the kicker. They are cutting $700,000 from the hurricane research portion of the budget.

The incompetence of this Republican Administration is staggering. Every time I think they've hit the bottom they show me and the world that no they can excell further into mediocracy.

Left in Alabama

As folks on the Coast struggle in the rebuilding process and insurance when available now has gone up by double for many at best. This is absolutely nuts. Someone at NOAA should lose their job. A $4 million dollar celebration when lives and property are at stake is proposterous.
