35. Did you make snide comments about Puerto Rico, NOLA, Manhattan?

Or - more likely - you were outraged when Repbulicans suggested Katrina was God's punishment for being a wicked city.

Mother nature does not choose her victims based on their politics. There are Nebraskans on DU, and others (like me) who grew up there and still have dozens of relatives and friends there, who are suffering. How about not copying the worst Republican behavior.
