Regarding the Tomb picture:
http://mashable.com/2012/10/29/fake-hurricane-sandy-photos/The moving photo purporting to show soldiers standing guard at the Arlington National Cemetery monument during Hurricane Sandy quickly spread on the social web. But the Old Guard pointed out that the photo was actually a shot taken in September.
On Facebook, the group shared a real image taken during the early hours of the storm.

I wouldn't say that at all. For the Army yes but for the Marines, Navy or AF not so much.
Yes it is a honor for those soldiers but they choose to go to drill school and choose to go to Tomb school.

Not too bad yet in DC. Wind is starting to really swirl now. No trees down in my area yet. And my building and others still have power.
I hear though, worst is late tonight, and tomorrow morning.

The male forecasters on The Weather Channel all look like they just got done doing lines of Levitra off a mirror. They need to chill the fuck out.
And I always love the creative storytelling that comes out from newscasters during a giant storm. Some great lines I have heard today (paraphrasing): [Video of a surge of water engulfing beach-front property] "This lonely house was no match for this great monster of the sea" (nothing like really hammering the point home for that owner lol) and my favorite, courtesy of Sheppard "Dramatic as F***" Smith just before cutting to break as footage of Sandy rolled across the screen, "America, a menace is upon us." Lulz.
