Co-Ed Finds Reward in Returning 'Hidden Treasure' Found in Hurricane-Damaged Home

Georgia college student Trista Wright says she never considered keeping any of the more than $30,000 in hundred-dollar bills she found while working on a flood-damaged home in New Orleans during her spring break.

For her spring break, Wright joined a church-sponsored Hurricane Katrina cleanup trip to New Orleans, Louisiana. While working at raking out an air conditioner vent in one flood-damaged home, she was surprised to find a cash-filled cache and began pulling $100s out of the wall.

Dear Ms. Wright. I thank God for you and your friends who are standing firmly on the Word of God. Wonder if the "drive-by media" could find a way to report more of these type of stories instead of the drival they produce? In fact, I wonder what would happen to us as a society if the "drive-by media" would inudate us with the GOOD NEWS instead of the bad. Ms. Wright, you obviously know what the BIBLE stands for -- Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. [

So There! Just like the President said. Use the Internet to counteract the MSM (not in so many words, but he said it!) http://www.gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Whether or not this story turns up in Snopes, the result will be that a large number of "missing voters" will return to N'awlins just in time for the mayoral election, prospecting for hidden cash in a Klondike on the Mississippi. I don't think I'll be joining them.

Personally, I find it a stretch to believe the story, but that's just me.

Whether true or not, it's a great story and gives me hope for the younger generation. Not to say I didn't have hope for them anyway as I want to believe that at least some of them are conservatives.
