    Second panel true

    Perhaps racially unfortunate, but true. Those affected by Katrina really did whine about how the government wasn’t helping them. Those affected by floods in the Midwest really didn’t. They still aren’t.

    Maybe the difference isn’t racial. But maybe it is. The cartoonist makes good points with the rest of the comic, especially the “white house” buttons, but the Katrina vs. Midwest issue was a total miss.
