FEMA to Illinois Flood Victims: No Relief For You

Fitting that as we approach Friday's third Katrina-versary, FEMA should once again rear it's ugly head. The government agency has turned down Illinois' appeal for relief stemming from March's flooding in southern Illinois. Governor Blagojevich claimed 659 homes were impacted from the flood, including 228 of which were either heavily damaged or destroyed. No word yet on how FEMA will blatantly ignore the victims of Tropical Storm Fay.
