30. We had tornadoes through here a year and a half ago
and one area was hit particularly badly. The request for emergency disaster relief was turned down. Well guess what- its a democratic Congressional District with a Democratic Governor in a state with 2 Democratic Senators... I guess the Federal Government basically said screw you, Democrats.

Now, if it had happened in Sensenbrenner's district, things might have been different.
