[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Didn't another one fail in Quincy Illinois

where Obama was helping to fill sandbags on the weekend.

3. I don't think yet - one broke across from Burlington in Gulfport, Illinois

Even if they don't break, they will very likely be topped

4. "levee." Still time to change it.

not "levy"

just thought you'd want to know

it's a common error, due to the identical pronunciation

5. LOL I know that's Paul Wellstone as your avatar but...

your message looks and reads like my old English teacher chastising the OP for spelling errors. LOL

No offense meant. It just struck me as funny.

7. I assume people who start threads want to know.

The person who tells you there's spinach stuck between your front teeth is your friend.

If she changed it, I'd change my post to read something innocuous.

I've changed the avatar to something more appropriate for this thread.

9. Sorry, had to go somewhere else

and get some work dome

And none taken by the way

We all make spelling mistakes from time to time

I only take offense at spelling flames and this was not one of them

:-)

8. I just saw a report on CNN with Blitzer where they did a "Minute" and then Blitzer "moved on."

It was disgusting. This is like New Orleans in "slow motion" where it's not a "people story" like folks imprisoned in a Stadium...but more a "voyeur watch" as the Media (who doesn't report "domestic problems" struggles whether they should "warn folks ahead of time" ...or just report the "Aftermath Disaster" with the disruption to all those Americans they managed to convince that Iraq Invasion was "a good thing."

The Media we PAY FOR...doesn't INFORM US UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE to SAVE US..from whatever the latest "GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE DISASTER" is coming.

People of Iowa and Downriver Mississippi...there are so many of us sending you "HOPES AND PRAYERS" that you are at least being "informed" by your LOCAL MEDIA...since our National Media has let us down so badly on this.

Stay safe...and remember we are all thinking of you and WILL NOT LET YOUR TRAVAILS go UNREPORTED...like the Cable/Networks have done. WE WILL BE WITH YOU...REPORTING YOUR STORIES OUT HERE ON THE "NEW MEDIA."

Stay Safe.....if you can and if you can't then GO AFTER YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ...and MAKE THEM PAY for this lack of coverage.

10. but how are the levees doing?
