WEATHER BULLETIN Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a Historic event --- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands. FYI: George Bush did not come.... FEMA did nothing.... No one howled for the government... No one blamed the government No one even uttered an expletive on TV... Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit Our Mayor's did not blame Bush or anyone else Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else either CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snow storm Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards..... No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.... No one looted... Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something Nobody expected the government to do anything either No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found And Nope, we just melted the snow for water Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snow bound families Families took in the stranded people - total strangers We Fired up wood stoves Broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns We put on an extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die" We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks. Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early...we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves. "In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% most of the world's social problems evaporate." It does seem that way, at least to me.. I hope this gets passed on.. Maybe, SOME people will get the message, The world Does not owe you a living.... Can I get an "amen"??

Why hasnt Bush be impeached yet. I mean surely with all the election tampering and the liying about WMD's there has to be enough lack of confidence to vote him out in congress. i just dont see why it hasnt happened yet? In one statement you ass ume your speaking as fact... first of all.. what election tampering? what lack of confidence? And what is going on in your country I wonder..... All the above perhaps?????
