For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: deadly tornadoes hit America's heartland:

Tornadoes that spun across the Oklahoma-Missouri border killed at least 18 people as severe storms raked the nation's heart Saturday, injuring many and mangling buildings in the storm-weary region.

The storms have also caused damage in Arkansas and Georgia, with casualties now at 21.

As our hearts go out to our fellow citizens, one has to wonder just how soon Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his sycophants in the press will blame these tornadoes on global warming.

And, much as when tornadoes devastated towns in Kansas last year, when will Democrats and media blame George W. Bush and the war in Iraq for the rescue response regardless of how fast and effective it is?
