Someone sent me this email today, probably thinking I would be impressed with the people of his state. Now, don't get me wrong -- I've been through blizzards before and I understand what these people are going through, but to compare it to the devastation which befell New Orleans is, quite simply, moronic.
What do you think? Here's the email...
Weather Bulletin - Denver
Up here, in the "Mile-Hi City", we just recovered from a Historic event---
may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a
historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds 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.
FYI: 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 did not visit.
Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.
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 - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.
Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.
No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo
Rivera.
No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.
Nope, we just melted the snow for water.
Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.
The 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 the snowbound families.
Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.
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 did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a
mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for
'sittin 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.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48
degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate."
It does seem that way, at least to me.
I hope this gets passed on.
Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a living.
I wonder if LSM is behind this?
look at it this way at least ass holes like hat seem to be content to stay up North....it's when the carpet bagging bastards come South that I have a problem with them....
and good for them for chipping in and helping one another.... I guess this particular **** stain felt the need to stop for a quick superior dance......
Thats a pretty pathetic email.
I had similar feedback from my sister in FL recently, discussing their ability to recover from repeated hurricanes. I drilled her a new one.
Can I view that on You Tube? Pretty racy.

It is one of those things that makes you wonder...
The nobility of the selfless actions cited is rather demeaned by the absurdly crowing tone of the author of the email. Although it's interesting to note that nowhere does the author indicate participation in any of these actions either.
In my own many travels, I have noted a tendency for some misguided folks to attach their own political meanings to otherwise completely unrelated activities in the world around them...
In my travels I have noticed that no matter where you go there's a mall and a Wal Mart and lots of weird looking people.
I've also taken note of the fact that the dirtier the public bathroom, the more desperate you are to poop.
The people of Denver are not sinners of the same caliber as those in New Orleans so The Lord chose to spare them a visit from Our Glorious Leader.
.... and Geraldo Rivera.

no filthy homos in Denver?
I almost made the same topic yesterday. A friend of mine fowarded this to me, and I replied it was the stupidest thing I've ever read.
I figured, "I'll leave this one up to Gus."
The Lord spared the people of Denver and chose instead to smite Suzanne Sommers.
Hard to argue with that logic.

Oh Denver has homos alright! They're just less flamboyant -- the climate, you know. It's hard to be fabulous in flannel. The Lord takes that into consideration.

Apparently, turd blossoms can thrive in the snow.
BBB
No looters?
silly white people dont know how to get nothin fo' free....
Now, if someone took the time to teach those black people how to swim..
( smacks self.. )
Seems like it'd be kind of hard to loot in a blizzard. Imagine hauling a TV through three feet of snow...
Well, first you'd need to steal a sled. Then load the TV on it.
Not that I have any firsthand knowledge about such things, mind you...
How about a Zamboni for a getaway vehicle?
You could tie a string of sleds to the Zamboni and really take home some loot!
