From the National Review Online

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?

FEMA is too busy in the Bayshore silly. Plus I don't think Iowa wants any of FEMA's asbestos-ridden trailers, anyhow.

We all know that Bush just LOVES white people. That's why you never hear that.

If it was a predominately African-America area, such as, let's say, New Orleans, he would stay away and say "Nice Job Brownie" to whoever was in charge, even though they had no clue what to do. Yes, that's why you never hear about how he "hates" white people...

There seems to be a 'customer service' difference with the Federal Gov't where it involves apocalyptic-type happenings.

Iowa seems to get a pretty good shake.

I wonder if FEMA warned those people too. Maybe Iowa can be the next doomsday tale at a FEMA information session.
