  Denver Post:

  This text is from a county emergency manager out in the central part of 
 Colorado after today's snowstorm.

  WEATHER BULLETIN

 Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a Historic event
may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a
historic 

blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees 

in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in
lethal 

snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut 

power to 10's of thousands.

  FYI:

  George Bush did not come.

  FEMA did nothing.

  No one howled for the government.

  No one blamed the government.

  No one even uttered an expletive on TV .

  Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.

  Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.

  Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.

  CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 

 5 snowstorm.  Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.

  No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.

  No one looted.

  Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.

  Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.

  No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo
Rivera.

  No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.

 The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a
penny.

  Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered
 it to the snowbound families.

 

 Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.

  We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.

  We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".

 Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this
early, 

we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.

 

It is good to see the American Spirit is alive and well, at least in
Colorado!
