Florida goes Polly, but Looneygreenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
To believe what I just heard during the 2 p.m. newsbreak is to say, well, that we've all lost our minds and we're using blind people to find them.
The state of Florida sponsered a Y2K conference in Tampa today. Ignoring what the Tallahassee propganda crowd said (yet never specifying that the state gov't. was 100% compliant nor any county or city), one of the mayors of a large metropolitan city made the most incredible comments to the media today.
(This is a rough quote)
"Well, since none of us really know what is going to happen then, I think all of us will just hold off doing anything and play it by ear"
Depending on the Polly responses, I'll name that city; so the residents can move away quickly.

Maybe we should fax them a copy of the actual failure lists someone has accumulated here.......or buy them a seeing eye dog...maybe a hearing aide too.

American Ingenuity will save us!(oops, I'm really not a polly, just want you to name the city) :)

John:If the mayor made the comment to the media, I don't see any legitimate reason to withhold the city's name from this forum -- the media has already put it out there.
Thanks for the info, though. Kinda amazing, isn't it?

Does the mayor say essentially the same thing when a hurricaine is threatening to blow in?

Well, John, your governor is my governor's brother, and the city where mine lives recently decided to spend 750,000.00 on generators for Y2K.You can't tell me George & Jeb don't have dinner at the 'rent's house in Houston and somehow Y2K never manages to come up.
Try sibling rivalry: call Jeb and say, "hey, Dubya gets generators, why don't we???"
