Apparently this bit was recently written by Steve Kimball of Pyrates Way. He's received a good deal of flak over it as it rather insulting to New Orleans and quite a few have let him know they aren't happy with him.
Here is the entire message that he printed:
As you watch the flooding in the Midwest? Have you noticed that there are no farmers
running around with stolen plasma TVs or holding stolen liquor over their heads.
There's no looting or yelling 'Where's Bush?', 'Where's FEMA?, Where's my check?', or 'Why
isn't the Gov't out here saving me and my farm?'
Likewise, I've also noticed there are no reports of any other country coming to help or
sending aid.
And this
Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring
Iowaand helping the folks affected by the floods?
Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government
hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?
Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des
Moines?
Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?
Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen television sets?
When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a 'vanilla' Iowa,
because that's the way God wants it?
Where are all of the gangs taking law into their own hands?
Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?
Where are the people (read liberals, progressives and other way out left wingers) declaring
that George Bush hates white, rural people?
Where are the debit cards for Iowans?
How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?
Because these people are responsible and will take care of themselves . . . like others need
to learn to do. These are the Americans who understand that help begins at home. God
bless them and let's help them.
They are true Americans!

I am not going to say anything about what I think about this situation, I think there are plenty of others who have already stated their views to him.
