Greensburg, Kansas

I am not going to spend much time here repeating much of what has been said about the tornado that destroyed Greensburg, Kansas. We all know it was a horrible, destructive, deadly act of nature.

 

I could complain about the fact that much of Kansas' National Guard resources are in Iraq right now and that puts Kansas and every other state in a precarious position when it comes to disasters. But, I don't feel like writing an anti-war polemic.

 

What bugs me is the ABC news video I just saw on the internet of King George's, I mean President Bush's visit to Kansas. The idiot didn't even get the name of the town right, calling it Greenburg, Kansas. Boy that really gets me confidence that things will be set right there, when the President doesn't even know the name of the town he is in.  I wonder if he can even find Kansas on a map.

 

My ten-year-old daughter, just did a social studies oral report on the state of Kansas. Even she, a nervous fourth-grader, got the name of the town right.
