A Kansan on the tornado
Tim Schieferecke wrote an article on The American Thinker about how the clean-up is all Bush's fault . . . not. He mentions a couple of the logical and factual problems with the 'blame Bush' reaction, all of which are valid, but my personal favorite because it's so obvious and yet I haven't heard anyone else mention it: Kansas is a big, rural, agrarian state which has lots and lots of trucks everywhere for gathering crops and grain. Aside from the fact that the Governor could have bought a few trucks in the four years since the Iraq appropriations began (which she says is when she began feeling uneasy about trucks being gone from the state), she could have gotten a bunch of trucks from farther west in her very own state. Duh. Plus, as Tim S. points out, even if all the Kansas national guard troops were in Iraq, how much protection from looting is necessary in a town that's stripped down to the ground? Not much to loot, unless you're a wood collector, and maybe that would help the clean-up, anyway.

Seriously, what's the matter with people? What's happened to logic and clearheadedness?

People from Kansas tend to have common sense. Governor Sebelius is a transplant from Ohio, fercrissake, although she did get her master's degree at KU.

Were an asteroid to sweep out of the sky and sideswipe the planet, people would still blame Bush. I have often wondered why, if he has such amazing powers, he doesn't just use the Mute Ray (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) on these whiners once and for all.
