Our Version of Katrina

Don't you dare, Iowa.

Look, my heart goes out to you. I hate that this is happening to your community. It shouldn't happen anywhere.

Just don't say it's anything like what happened here in New Orleans.

When the President lets people drown and starve in Des Moines, call me.
Three years later if you're still struggling to restore basic social services, let's talk.

I hope damages are minimal, my thoughts are with you. But don't say it's the same as what happened here.

UPDATE: On second thought, I should have taken a deep breath and let the Katrina comment slide. Just one man making a foolish comparison in the face of tragedy. I should be filling sandbags like Barack Obama.

UPDATE II: Still feel like a jerk.
