And others who beleive that george bush is sinister and Katrina and the response were all his fault. Perhaps the folks of New Orleans have been watching the latest weather developments on the TVs they stole during the hurricane. Well here is a bit of information for them:

DENVER WEATHER BULLETIN

In the “Mile-Hi City”, we have just recovered from a blizzard of historical proportions. 44″ inches of snow with winds up 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.

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 didn’t show up. Our Mayor and our Governor didn’t blame George Bush or anyone else.

CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit, or report on this category 5 snowstorm.

Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards. No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House. No one looted. Nobody demanded that the government do something. Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.

No Larry King, No Bill O’Reilly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera. No Sean Penn, No Barbara Streisand, No Hollywood types are anywhere to be found.

We sent out caravans of SUV’s to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars. 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 snowbound families. Local families took in stranded people. total strangers.

We melted the snow for water. We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns. We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is “Work or Die”.

We didn’t wait for some affirmative action bureaucrat to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for “sitting 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.

It seems to me that once you get north of 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world’s social problems evaporate.”

I hope you will pass this on. Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a living.

Welfare states breed people who depend on government to live. Others live by their own means because they did not grow up sucking at the government teat. That is why people in a hurricane stood in water looking around trying to figure out what to do while those in back to back blizzards made do and went out and helped each other.

Note: I believe I read this weather bulletin last year but the state was Missouri or Montana. Must use the same weather service.
