WEATHER BULLETIN
Up here in the Northern Plains we just recovered from a historic event--- may I even say a "weather event" of "Biblical proportions" --- with 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 tens 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 did not visit.
*Our mayors did not blame Bush.
*Our governor did not blame Bush.
*CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit or report on this Category 5 snowstorm.
*No body 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.
*No body expected the government to do anything, either.
*No Larry King, no Bill O'Rielly, no Oprah, no Chris Mathews and no Geraldo Rivera.
*No Sean Penn, no Barbra Striesand, no Hollywood types to be found.
*Nope, we just melted the snow for water and sent out caravans of SUVs to pluck people out of snow-engulfed cars.
*The truck drivers pulled people out of snowbanks 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 and broke out coal-oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.
*We put on an 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."

Maybe ... SOME people will get the message. The world does NOT owe you a living!
