#1 Obama deploys to Iowa to help fill sandbags. Meanwhile, "W" eats cake with the Queen. Republicans, we never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Also, little mention on the MSM of the almost total lack of looting and no mention at all of the thousands of young college and high school students pitching in to fill sandbags and save their schools.

#5 Expect Cedar Rapids back up and running as soon as it dries out. Not waiting and crying for FEMA.
