Re: Iowa vs. Louisiana:
- Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?
- Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?
- Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago?
- When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines?
- Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?
- Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen television sets?
- When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a"vanilla" Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?
- Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?
- Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?
- Why, in 2 weeks, will we never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?

--Blowing Coke...

--why does the federal government have to pick up responsibility? These are all state controlled levees and storm water systems. Why isn't the State and Local governement relocating people? What did the federal Govt. or FEMA do during the 1906 San Fransisco earthquake???

--eating mad cowed Omaha Steaks.
* Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?
--he doesn't hate white, rural people...those are the people he DOES like.
* Why, in 2 weeks, will we never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?
--because it's IOWA
Never quite thought of it that way. What a valid point though. All the people that I have read about in that area say they will clean up and rebuild. And the majority had no flood insurance. Some people I guess require a free ride and others believe in working for what they have!
It is a shame that it will all be forgotten in a few weeks when the water subsides. Shame on the governments and hollywood and President Bush. Bush is only worried about the price of a barrel of oil so he can see how much money he can get out of us before he leaves office.
Love ya!
