Powerful solar flare erupts

When Katrina was dominating the news last week and most of the media was focused on victims and who and what was to blame, I missed this story.

"One of the largest solar flares on record was recorded by NOAA Space Center in Boulder, CO at 1:40pm EDT on Sept. 7. Forecasters are predicting significant solar disruptions over the next few days".

Now I wonder how this could be politicized? Do you think George Bush creates solar flares? Do you think Homeland Security fails in allowing them to occur? Do you think this is just another example of how the impoverished are further victimized and how uncaring, selfish and negligent the current administration is?
