Time for "nothing" to change. But shut fema down. Turn it over to the military, and repeal any law that allows the Blanco's of this planet to get in the way. The needless slaughter of the innocent over bureaucratic back biting, lack of centralized command, and intensity of a response, cannot stand in a public square that is at all engaged, and oriented towards first things - the first thing being saving human life.

needless slaughter of the innocent...

Frankly, I'm shocked that you said that; this is life, Torie.

Bad things happen; people die; it could be you or me next week.

And I sure as hell don't want you to change the government because I didn't get out of the way.

The answer is NO.

Do you realize you're calling for a repeal of substantial portions of the Constitution? Most Governors (Jeb in FL, Riley in AL, Barbour in MS) are up to the task when disaster strikes. We shouldn't throw out the Constitution because Blanco wasn't.
