Add to that, I was up for 2 nights straight and had to cancel my ski vacation to the Rockies. I don't blame Bush either.

I blame Nagin and Blanco. Because it just feels good.

We suffered through many horrible winters in Boston when I was growing up. Communities helped each other. I always have thought of that after Katrina. We didn't demand the government pay for our roof after '78. We didn't demand the government pay for our burst pipes many times over. There were times we couldn't afford oil for the furnace, and we had no "Saint Chavez & Angel Kennedy" to help us. What it taught me was that people need to help each other and themselves. It never occurred to us to demand the government bail us out.

Where is FEMA?

Oh no Doug. It looks like FEMA isn't coming. What ever will we do?

Please forward this to the following people:

Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Bill O'Reilly

This is short and succinct enough to be read on the air.

Consider yourself HIGHLY commended, sir!

Cheers!

Very excellent!! bttt

[I'm ALL Right!]

Awesome.

Might I add, no NBC reporters faking it for the camera. (reporting from a boat while people walked through the puddle behind her.)

Well that's very good! I'm in Aurora and I was pulled out of a dip at an intersection by a gentleman with a large SUV and a chain. I offered him money but he wouldn't take it. So all I could do was thank him profusely and proclaim him a Saint.

Major and secondary streets are now passable - though narrower - and the cul-de-sac streets are "travel at your own risk", but something that would go a long way towards bringing this city back to life would be to lift the assinine salt ban. I mean, why torture yourself?

I understand what you are saying. Katrina and New Orleans made a disgusting spectacle for all of us to watch and Houston is still paying the price for our generosity but.......... you didn't get snow *inside* your house up to the rafters. That part you saw on TV was real. A flood and a snow storm are kinda different weather events.

Just how lucky can a state get?/ no MSM!!!!

Rocky Mountain New
WASHINGTON — Western lawmakers are pushing to give emergency disaster relief to farmers and ranchers hammered by winter storms.
On the first day of the new congressional session on Thursday, Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Loveland, and Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Fort Morgan, introduced legislation that would give aid to livestock owners who suffered blizzard-related losses in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.


So much for smug self-righteousness
