It was kind of trendy and hip to go down after the hurricane.

It could be really difficult, ... My job was to make it trendy. It was to make it hip, to take the face of Nixon and turn it into a salable commodity.

If you've got to have a hurricane, this is the kind of hurricane you want to have.

Rock You Like a Hurricane.

Well, I'm not excusing the fact that planning and preparedness was not where it should be. We've known for 20 years about this hurricane, this possibility of this kind of hurricane.

I do not recall our Lord ever saying one could not be 'cool'. It is only a problem if one esteems 'coolness' above that which is righteous and true, which is, when we give it its way, really what many of us do. 'Coolness' is too transient to be of any real and meaningful, lasting significance, and it is often in great conflict with one being one's most honest, most vulnerable self. That, and in reality, some of the coolest people are actually those who least concern themselves with being cool anyway, those who make 'trying to be cool' less evident.
