There has not been much in the news about the ice storm in Kentucky (no doubt caused by Global Warming, now termed 'climate change'). Some rude people have pointed out that FEMA has not made an appearance to help out yet. Actually that is the way FEMA has historically operated, coming in about a month after the event to help clean up. But, the rules were changed without the laws being changed when Katrina happened. Of course, in the case of Katrina almost half of the people affected were black, and that made all the difference. In Kentucky the people suffering are mostly white (and probably voted Republican), so there is no MSM or Democratic Party interest. Here is an article from the blog 'Cheat Seeking Missile.' (There is a good picture of power lines dragged down by ice.)
