Iowa, black hole, shroud of mystery?

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? And asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers)
are?

Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa storm
victims 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?

----------------------------------------------------

My mothers house was damaged and she lost her garage and all the personal, irreplaceable things by an F2 tornado, just 2 weeks after an F5 tornado
destroyed half of Parkersburg, IA. Parkersburg was in the news for a grand total
of 8 days. I suppose that 1 day for each person killed in Parkersburg is good
enough for our news broadcasters. The news broadcast of the flooding that affected Des Moines was paltry compared to the 24/7 footage of wildfires in California that we get bombarded with now. "Oh No! some rich retard in California lost his $$$million dollar home to a wildfire!" Big deal, rich retard probably has three or four homes and only lives in that one 1 time a year. How about those here who lost everything because of 6 ft of water, that dont have two or three houses they can live in.

So, where is our government in our time of need? Or is Iowa so insignificant to the politicians after the caucuses that they dont give two shits about the people that voted for them?

The church in Attica, IA (map) has done more for the community than anyone. They cut a check for $300 for my mom to get her roof rebuilt. Praise in God and many blessings on the congregation of that church.

Now if only FEMA and the great state of Iowa would take care of its own like that.

So, is Iowa a black hole, shrouded in mystery?
