Natural Disasters
The flooding through the eyes of Iowans
If you need a "how-to" ignite your outrage over yet another set of levees neglected by the Republicans' doctrine of "Drowning America in a bathtub", then start at David's Drowning America: Iowa Edition.
For now let's look at the devastation through the eyes of Iowans themselves. Let's start with Liz Martin's aerial view for the GazetteOnline, offered without voice over or comment:

Smoky The Bear doesn't approve
CNN is reporting that the 'wildfires' are not that wild since they were started by a kid playing with matches. First off, how would Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department know that? 'Tis some sloppy reporting if they don't at least go into the details of how they came up with that theory. Second, doesn't this sound like a republican plot to try to pin it on anything or anybody but their years of trashing the environment?
