Re: National, Regional and Local News
Sad day in the Southeast. I've been glued to coverage of the storms. My hometown got a double whammy yesterday, with serious storms causing a lot of damage in the morning then again in the evening. Thankfully my parent's and brother's homes have no damage but my dad's college is a mess. It's really bad in extreme Northwest, Ga just south of Chattanooga. Last I heard the death toll there was over 20.
But it's still nothing to what they are dealing with in Tuscaloosa. That's really heartbreaking stuff.

Don't mean to cross-post but since not everyone may frequent both this and the TV thread.
Some interesting data on Trump's Celebrity Apprentice. It pretty much has the most liberal audience on TV. The second chart shows the recent ratings decline. I hope there is a special place in hell for Trump wanting so badly to tear this country down.

I understand it's his job to protect the people of Missouri... But, um...
*****
A debate over how to stem possible flooding in Illinois and Missouri took an ugly turn this week, as a leading Missouri politician made some crass remarks about the fate of an Illinois town. (Scroll down for video of the controversial remarks.)
Due to high rains, waters at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers are running dangerously high, and the mayor of Cairo, Illinois, located at the confluence, has asked residents to evacuate the town.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering a plan to destroy a levee, which would lower the floodwaters by a few feet and help protect Cairo. But the state of Missouri has vigorously objected to the plan, because it would badly damage around 130,000 acres of farmland, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Missouri's Republican House Speaker Steve Tilley was asked by reporters about the dilemma. "Would you rather have Missouri farmland flooded or Cairo underwater?" Tilley is asked.
Without hesitation, he replies, "Cairo. I’ve been there. Trust me. Cairo.”
As another reporter prepares to ask another question, Tilley goes on. “Have you been to Cairo? OK, then you know what I’m saying then.”
Cairo, Illinois (pronounced KAY-roh) was at the turn of the 20th century a bustling trade center. The 2,800-person town is now largely abandoned, two-thirds African-American, and deeply impoverished: nearly 50 percent of children under the age of 18 in Cairo live below the poverty level.
