the FEMA goon was on TV in LA yesterday saying that the Gov's office needed to send him more paperwork! I worked for the state of CA during the Northridge earthquake. They sent me to a FEMA center for several months to assist with tax questions. Mostly, I handed out tissues, listened to people, and gave candy to the kids.
I have never seen a more petty, back-stabbing, ego-driven group of people than those employed by FEMA.
The new FEMA is much better than the old FEMA. OKC area when the last tornadoes hit had experience with the new group -- much improved from the Clinton days when the Moore tornado hit. People could not believe the difference -- they were here right away and actually provided immediate assistance.
