Some now say

On CNN, Wolf Blitzer just said "Some now say that funds for flood control has been cut since 9/11"

Wolf, you know, it is possible to actually find out whether or not, in fact, funds were cut. Try google.

Oh shit, looks like they were.

That took me less than a minute. That would leave me enough time for me to make sure my beard looked fabulous before the end of commercial break. Hypothetically speaking.
