Well you guessed much of Southern Florida is still without power and this is troubling residents and business owners. Some gas stations have brought in portable generation or are on emergency power back systems.

All the cigarette lighter adapters, inverters and appliances are sold out everywhere. Many businesses remain closed, as 41% of Florida Power and Light Customers, which had their power go out are still without power.

The estimate of when that might all be fixed? Well, officials are hoping to have it back on by Thanksgiving? “Ah, hello. . . Thanksgiving, come again?” one resident said. Not that anyone wanted anything out of the refrigerator, to watch TV, brew a cup of coffee or even use the microwave.

Many underestimated the wicked wrath of Western World Record Setting Wilma, but not anymore, as this is one Hurricane the residents of Southern Florida will not soon forget. Most of the telephones are also down and some wonder if the 10 reported deaths from Wilma are even reasonable, since their maybe many more which no one has talked too.

Some older folks without power may also fall victim in the coming weeks and we remember Hurricane Wilma. There is even a more frightening thought; that is Hurricane Season has over four weeks left and another Hurricane could come a long and make it even a worse situation meaning there maybe nothing to give thanks for and then they will be looking a Christmas or New Years to get the power back on. Think on this.

And he did so with the help of a super PAC, a new breed of political-action committee that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of cash from from corporations, unions, individuals and associations.

Federal Election Commission records show that the Restore Our Future independent expenditure-only committee, or super PAC, had more than $23.6 million in cash on hand at the end of 2011. The super PAC, which is supporting Romney's bid for president, actually had more money in the bank than the candidate himself, who reported having $20 million at the end of the year.

And that super PAC spent millions buying attack ads criticizing Gingrich.

So how do super PACs work? What laws govern them? How did they come into being? And how closely are they allowed to work with the actual candidates? Here are a few questions and answers about super PACs.

At this Synod he seems indeed to be acting as the high or ‘arch’ Druid when he saves 1200 Bards or Bairds from further deprecation of …

Copyright 2006 Vincent Wilmot Misgoverning the poor. The poor in developed countries like the USA and UK, honest and dishonest alike, are handled only by the non-street-wise middle class who run government departments and other bodies - ensuring that the poor are generally badly mistreated and misgoverned. Of course the poor in developed countries are a minority so that democratic political parties may easily see their votes as unneccessary, yet the poor are a socially significant minority whose…
