Really Deep

And really dumb!

This from Des Moines Public Works Director Bill Stowe on Downtown Des Moines flooding...

"If you set aside the river issue, downtown is no more vulnerable than the rest of the city."

Genius!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

If it weren't for the river(s), Des Moines would be experiencing no flooding.

It reminds me of a Lewis Black routine, "If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college."
