interesting take on Iowa flooding

[GrizzlyGator]

A reader from the Wolverine State wonders: 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? How come in 2 weeks, you will
never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?

I agree!!!

I have been wondering the same thing.  Hmmm...  maybe these news organizations should make themselves useful and interview all the people that whined about New Orleans.  Obviously the people in Iowa are grownup enough to take care of themselves.  What an odd way to go about life!!
