This really gets my thetans all stirred up inside. Tidbits on lots of places I didn’t think about and then I get to the part where there’s news of the Fresh Prince rocking the house with Xenu and cutting an intergalactic record and Donnie Osmand might host the special in primetime?!

Maybe I just read too fast through everything…

BTW, I don’t think Washington, D.C. is lost anymore, I’m pretty sure Nick Cage found it in one of those National Treasure movies.

This read like a bad cracked.com article, whoever wrote this should probably quit blogging and keep their day job, and if blogging is your day job, you should probably be worried about keeping it.

I’m sorry, I’m a little confused. Did you actually TRY to put a little thought and effort into this, or did you just regurgitate a steaming, congealed mass of extreme leftist propaganda, pick out the biggest chunks and hurl them at a blog page?

I’m guessing the latter.

LURK MOAR.

You forgot New Orleans.
Flooded three years ago and 70% of the city hasn’t been rebuilt/repaired. Crime rate is back to pre-hurricane numbers, even though 30% of the populace never moved back in.

I forgot another one: Rosewood, Florida in Levy County. It was a prosperous littkle town for sawmill workers harvesting cedar. But area whites got so bent out of shape by black people being able to have a nice middle-class life there (”Who do they think they are puttin’ on airs like that?”) that Klansmmen and assorted thugs burned the town on New Year’s Day, 1923, killing an undetermined number of people. The town was never rebuilt.

Yes, you should go and do some home work: searching the web will bring you to several articles about Donny Osmond in which he explains his worries about global warming and how he has changed his car, and made his house as energy efficient as possible. And Crazy Horses , written by the Osmonds in 1972, is about pollution: the first eco-song!

Instead of Provo, you could have listed Promontory, Utah as a lost city. This is teh spot where the transcontinental railroad was completed and teh Golden Spike driven. The town was briefly a sin city of railroad workers, gamblers and hookers. The town faded as the West settled, then the railroad built a causeway across Great Salt Lake. The railroad past Promontory then becamse a secondary route, and was torn up in World War II for the steel that was needed.

“The only “active campaign” in Clearwater is by 28 Anonymous supporters (by last month’s count) in Halloween drag. The Anons are despised by shop owners and city government and most are there to “party” anyway.”? Excuse me? I have been to every single Anonymous protest in Clearwater. At our VERY LOWEST we were still 100 people. The only shopkeepers that despise us are Scientologists — get a link to the petition, I dare you; we’ve already proven that. And city government has REPEATEDLY defended us, as have the cops. LURK MOAR.

And Clearwater is by no means lost. Perhaps instead of bawwwing over how bad it is, you should do something to FIX it, Brad. The rest of us are.
