Because someone has to make the joke...

The following statement was just received by the National Weather Service. It was apparently transmitted by Hurricane Dean when it was a mere tropical storm, days before Dean unleashed his wrath on the Caribbean.

"We're gonna hit Haiti, and we're gonna hit the Dominican Republic, and we're gonna hit Jamaica, and we're gonna hit the Caymans, and we're gonna hit Cancun, and then we're gonna sweep up through Texas and take back the White House! YEEEEEEEAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!"

The chairman of the Democratic National Committee declined comment.

(Seriously, thoughts and prayers for all those in Dean's path.)

UPDATE: According to Jeff, Fark.com, a website I'm pretty sure I've never visited or particularly cared about and who URL may be wrong in that link due to those facts, shares the same sense of humor as me and OWM. Didn't want to seem like I was ripping them off, so wanted to give credit where credit was due, even though I arrived at the idea completely independently.
