I want to link to Michelle Malkin’s coverage of the Kentucky ice storms that initially left close to three quarters of a million people without power.  There are still many without power.  FEMA took FIVE days to get there.  The Democratic governor of the state didn’t call out the National Guard until FIVE days later.  People were forced into shelters because authorities didn’t have the resources to get them warmth and food on an ongoing basis.  Fourty-two deaths have been attributed to the storms. There’s no Shep Smith, no Anderson Cooper.  I see hardly any more than passing mention of this disaster on the news.  And no one is calling Obama a racistsbecause the people in trouble here are Caucasian.

I guess the difference is that these hearty residents aren’t crying out for the government to come save them.  They’ve managed to slog through it themselves.

Update: More from Kentucky via Michelle.
