Also note the public response to this civil disaster on the upper Mississippi vs. the response to the Katrina disaster around Pepe's Play Land. There is a similarity between the two in the total failure of a major civil engineering project (it doesn't appear to be terrorist related), be it a bridge in the Twin Cities, or a levee in New Orleans.
Beyond that, it's unlikely that $70,000 will be found in either Norm Coleman's or Mark Dayton's freezer. Cops and firefighters are working to help the populace rather than rob them. People immediate to the tragedy helped others in need, be it assisting a bus full of school kids to safety, or whatever.
Perhaps we'll hear about a more raw, savage side of this tragedy at some point in the future. But for now, it seems as though there's variation in how the City of Water handles itself vs. how the Big Easy does.

Hey, MFT, wasn't that hippie trying tom insult you the other day by calling you a Norwegian? Time to give him the finger.
I chanelled Odin and gave him a finger of Thor-like proportions. We all roared with laughter. Self-annointed tofu-eating hippies (deprived of essential proteins) never pose an immediate, physical threat. The article AA posted a couple days ago remarked that tofu-eaters are, in some bizarre way, attracted to us omnivores and carnivores. Strange.
It's the tofu-eaters' misanthropic scheming and mail-bomb building that we have to keep an eye out for.
Update: Stanek, who held a briefing this morning on the east bankof the Mississippi River, said investigatores have been able to account for all but eight of the missing from Wednesday's bridge collapse.
