I received this in my email today, and thought it was worth passing on. The person who sent
it to me was not the original writer but just forwarding it. Whoever the original author
is, my hat is off to you!

... As you watch the flooding in the Midwest? Have you noticed that there
are no farmers running around with stolen plasma TVs or holding stolen
liquor over their heads.
There's no looting or yelling
"Where's Bush?",
"Where's FEMA?,
Where's my check?", or
"Why isn't the Gov't out here saving me and my farm?"
Likewise, I've also noticed there are no reports of any other country
coming to help or sending aid.
And this one---
Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?
Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?
Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines?
Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?
Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen television sets?
When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a "vanilla" Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?
Where are all of the gangs taking law into their own hands?
Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?
Where are the people (read liberals, progressives and other way out left wingers) declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?
Where are the debit cards for Iowans?
How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?
Because these people are responsible and will take care of themselves . . . like the others need to learn to do. These are the Americans who understand that help begins at home. God bless them and let’s help them. They are true Americans!
Shocking contrast, isn't it?!?!?!
Tell it like it is, pass this on!

Stock up on Long Underwear!
Sun Cycles, Always have, always been. Like clockwork. Of course it will get warmer, and of course it will get cooler. It has nothing to do with what the likes of Al Gore and the media spew forth, other than bilking you out of billions of dollars to enrich others.
Something May be Wrong with the Sun--and the Weather Could Get COLDER

The disappearance of sun spots was the hot topic at a recent international solar conference held at Montana State University. For the past two years, the sun has undergone a phase of relative inactivity, meaning usual solar phenomena such as sun flares, sun spots, and solar eruptions have all but disappeared.
"It's a dead face," Saku Tsuneta said of the solar surface. Tsuneta is with the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and was one of the participants at the MSU conference
The good news is that without such intense solar activity disruptions to space technology and even our beloved gadgets here on earth have been minimal. While this provides some relief to those of us whose cell phones dropped calls at the tiniest solar flare, scientists are concerned that this means bigger things to come for Earth's climate.
Dana Longcope, a solar physicist at MSU, explained that the sun generally runs on an 11-year cycle and that there is usually a minimum of activity as the cycles change. The last cycle peak was in 2001 and the next cycle is predicted to peak around 2012. The sun is now as inactive as it was two years ago, and scientists aren't sure why. Some have even suggested that the inactivity portents the beginning of a new ice age. Geophysicist Phil Chapman, the first Australian NASA astronaut, confirmed that there are indeed no sun spots currently on the solar surface. He also noted that the earth cooled by about 0.7 degrees Celsius between January 2007 and January 2008. "This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record, and it puts us back to where we were in 1930," Dr Chapman says.
Oleg Sorokhtin is also certain that it's an indication of a coming cooling period. Dr. Sorokhtin is a fellow at the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. He warns that climate change caused by man is "a drop in the bucket" compared to the fierce cold that inactive solar phases can bring.
In fact, 350 years ago, the sun experienced its longest recorded period of inactivity lasting over 50 years. During the same period, approximately 1650 - 1700, the Earth experienced a "mini" ice age. Some scientists maintain that this was only a coincidence, but others are not as sure.
Dr. Sorokhtin's advice: "Stock up on fur coats."
