after the I-35W bridge collapse. It was completed when I began my 
institutionalization at the U of M.

The local people, the accident vicitims themselves, the emergency workers 
(fire, police, medical), the pols (Mpls. Mayor Ryback-DFL, Gov. Pawlenty-R, 
Sen. Coleman-RINO, Rep. Ellison-DFLIslam) all worked together very well.

The coverage was A- on the BBC, B+ on ABC, B- on NBC, and C-/D+ on CBS. WCCO 
has really gone down the crapper in the quality of its coverage. I don't get 
FOX so I don't know how Newscorp handled the bridge collapse. But, from what 
I saw it was Minnesota Nice at its unsmug best on the part of nearly all in 
a difficult situation. There was little of the cargo-culting victimology or 
the photo-op grandstanding that 3T disasters usually present.

The blame game will ensue (I35 has been used by Progressives to end the 
careers of their opponents in Swift-Boatian manner since my youth- it is in 
their genetic makeup by now.) but when the trouble came rescue and sadly 
recovery was at hand."]
