[...] Selective outrage, I suppose. The situation is much more depressing for those who live in the rural area of our region as utility poles were snapped in half by the weight of the ice all over far Western Kentucky. In fact our local paper reported this morning utility workers with direct Katrina experience are saying the devastation to our power grid is worst than Hurricane Katrina: “The word from utility workers with direct Katrina experience is that ice storm devastation to western Kentucky’s power grid is worse than that inflicted by the infamous Gulf Coast hurricane.

Kentucky Governor Steven L. Beshear (?).

Three guesses as to his party affiliation, and the first two don’t count.

Could it be there’s nobody to victimize in Kentucky?

Dead hillbillies. Who cares?…

Something about the bitter gun-clingers makes their suffering less newsworthy. If a Republican’s in the White House, and Democrats are dying in New Orleans, that’s news. If Obama’s in the White House, and people are dying in Kentucky, well . . . 65%…

Huh?

That was a reference to Obama’s love for Chinese infrastructure.

Of course there is minimal media coverage of the KY situation. The residents are working people and are too busy taking care of themselves and each other. Maybe if they just sat down and whined how they are “victims” they would attract notice.

I’ve lived my entire life (pushing 50 years!) in the Denver suburbs and I can’t remember ever losing power for more than a few hours, regardless of the wind, snow, or lightning. Granted, we don’t get ice storms – thank God.

We’ve lived in a new neighborhood for almost 9 years. The new subdivisions here have power lines buried. Besides eliminating unsightly lines and saving trees from being trimmed, we seem to have a lot fewer outages. When the power does go out, it usually comes right back on. In 9 years, I think we’ve had a total of 3 hours of outage, and not all at the same time.

Now burying power lines would be a useful stimulus project. Start with the areas of the country that are the most prone. It may cost a bunch up front, but would save a lot in the long run. And save lives too.

55 Americans Die, Thousands Freeze While Obama Parties On…

Given the amount of criticism heaped on President Bush for his callousness during Hurricane Katrina from the Democrats, it is shocking that President Obama has gaily partied on during the recent ice storms in which 55 Americans have died and……

Just got this in an email:

I’m confused.. how can 2 million blacks get into Washington DC in subzero temps in 1 day when 200,000 couldn’t get out of New Orleans at 85 degrees with four days notice?
