First thread I found about it where I could say a few things about what is going on here and some ***** moderartor pulled it with no explanation. It was annoying enough in the days before when we KNEW there was going to be a huge flood and there was not a peep about it in the MSM or even here on FR. But now you make one comparison to Katrina and *poof*.
Kinda pisses me off for some odd reason. Ninty thousand posts about katrina, even years later and not squat about Iowa.
But see, even with my rant the other day about Katrina, you’re right here. What’s happening in Iowa is a HUGH deal and we should be hearing about it.
It makes no sense to me why it wouldn’t grip us in the news cycle like Katrina did. Or heck, even the tsunami, which didn’t happen on our shores.
On the other hand, it’s hard for the MSM and the libs to blame George Bush for this, though they might try.
Keep telling the story Talon. It needs to be told.
Well, I go to the doctor on the 25th...maybe this doc will find out what’s actually wrong with me and fix it and then I’ll be able to come out with a team and help clean up before school starts back up again...

Our teams are trained in mud-out...I have a whole manual dedicated to it. If I can get there, I’ll come.
Was it the mosque thread? I was afraid that one would get nasty.
I saw one yesterday that was about Iowa versus Katrina and it was a little unbalanced but one poster said something about how “it wasn’t all of Iowa or all of Louisiana that flooded, it was Cedar Rapids and New Orleans”. Which just tells me how little anyone outside Iowa knows because it is not just Cedar Rapids but everywhere from Des Moines east.
That's cuz Iowa is vanilla... and stuff. Am I allowed to say that??
