Levee #20 overrun

[malaise]

Winfield, Missouri now under water.

This is a major disaster. A man on TV says this is the 4th 500 year flood he's seen in 20 years.

1. Damn.

[bdamomma]

2. and what is being done, and we have * saying Drill.

[elocs]

4. No, no, you drill where it is flooded and then the water goes down the drain.

I cannot claim that to be an original thought because doubtless Bush has considered it first.

[bdamomma]

13. no I meant drilling for oil in the Atlantic and ANWR

sorry about that I wasn't being clear.

[elocs]

16. I know, I was making a lame attempt at being funny by poking fun of Bush's intelligence,

or, more accurately, his lack of intelligence.

3. I know I have seen Winfield flood in the last huge flood

Its a good thing the Missouri isn't flooding too the Mississippi is enough

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Winfield is not right on the river either

It's a couple miles away.

6. Georgie is more interested in handing out medals

and making tacky jokes than he is in listening to Army Corp of Engineer reports about our failing infrastructure or the death and devastation that follows.

15. Why should he care, he's headed for Paraguay shortly, isn't he? With lots of stolen taxpayers' $$$

too. BFEE=TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN.

7. But the Corporate Whores are too busy trashing Obama's foregoing public financing and, meanwhile,

Steny Whore and the Democratic Traitors are setting up the phone company criminals with immunity.

8. now, now, junior will be out there this afternoon to hug poor people and pretend he cares

get your cameras ready msm

10. question- is this the 20th levee to be overrun, or a levee designated as #20?

not clear from your post.
do you know where this is?

14. The 20th one overrun

Winfield, Missouri

11. Holy cow.

Heartfelt sympathy to all those affected. This is when OUR government is supposed to HELP its own citizens. Instead we are pumping so much money into the war machine there is precious little to help those who actually finance and basically underwrite this government. We The People.

12. make your calls to your reps and tell them NO MORE MONEY

FOR WARS, and we have a crisis going on in the Mid West and our infrastructure is failing.

17. Thank you for the update. MSNBC was running the THONG story again. I found it on CNN & Fox.

[hatrack]

18. I'm sorry, the "thong" story?

:shrug:

[K Gardner]

19. Some girl bought a pair of Victoria Secret thongs.. they broke.. and a metal clip sprung up and hit

her in the eye. She's suing. MSNBC has run the story repeatedly today. Along with crap b/s about Michelle Obama.

Fox is doing in-depth on the floods. Go figure.

[hatrack]

20. Wow. It's like we're in some alternative universe . . .

Does Spock have a beard yet?

21. K & R We need all the stolen money back here

the bastards.
