No evacuation plan for Rikers?
Michael Bloomberg proves, once again, that being a cultural liberal is entirely consistent with being a miserable, heartless bastard.
Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
12,000 people - some of them rather dangerous - on a low-lying island. Everywhere else in NYC in the same flood-risk category is under mandatory evacuation.
Just proves that being a cultural liberal is entirely consistent with being a miserable, heartless bastard.

Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

What is your source for the flood risk category of Rikers Island? Most of the areas being evacuated are further east.
What’s your source for calling Mike Bloomberg a liberal?
If he was truly “liberal” he would have implemented the the Ray Nagin plan prison evacuation plan.
“What’s your source for calling Mike Bloomberg a liberal?”
I second this, Mark.
Mark didn’t call the guy a liberal. He called the guy a “cultural liberal.” Means he tolerates interracial marriage but not necessarily the income tax.
I’d ask what the meaning of ‘cultural liberal’ means.
Parts of the island are quite high, and you could evacuate prisoners from one jail on the island to another (there are a number of semi-separate jails contained within an outer layer of security) if worst came to worst. The idea that all of Rikers would be flooded in anything short of the Day After Tomorrow just doesn’t seem right, so I get the impression that a lot of this criticism is coming from people who just don’t like Bloomberg and are looking for something to criticize in the Irene response.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.

Is it because prisons are more fortified and self-sufficient than other buildings, or are they simply filled with disposable humans?
Is there a prison in the U.S. which DOES have an evacuation plan?
Just proves that being a cultural liberal is entirely consistent with being a miserable, heartless bastard.
What part of Akon’s song don’t you understand? No Labels.
LOL
“Joining Bloomberg, who tried out the Democrat and Republican parties before becoming an independent, were a slat of politicos and entertainers. AKON, a Grammy-nominated pop star, sings the No Labels anthem.”
