I'm sorry, that was exactly what I meant. It should have been directed at George
Poor guy. Seems he failed to grasp the basics of LA and Nawlins. Oh well, it's a jungle out there. I guess being a fed chieftan means one is as impotent as any other victim.
"the Dem Party is salivating..."
When are they not? They also drool.
I guess he can't be a political appointee or anyone known previously to President Bush.
And of course, it has to be a person that the Libs would have picked themselves.
Sorry dude, but we're giving show prep for the talk shows, you're not.
"Nice story, but a non answer.
As an aside, I'm glad you can read minds. Get your resume ready, there might be a job opening at FEMA for you."
I am very active in the private sector - and us kind of dogs would not be very usefull in the world of the BureaucracyBots
Have you ever heard of the management term "skunkworks".
And if you don't think that organizational behavior and management does not include a hefty amount of "mindreading" you are very wrong.

"A Horseman of the Apocalypse is giving a press conference on CNN right now."
What's the upshot? No tube in the office.
You're spreading that so thin that I can see nothing but bread.
It is one thing to anticipate the results of foreseeable events, it is another to predict the future.
Concluding that a major storm in New Orleans woud cause widespread flooding isn't reading minds or predicting the future.
Faulting Bown because he didn't prepare for local incompetence is simply assinine.
(((Hmmm...lessee...gotta have contingency plans for New Orleans, Detroit, DC, and Madison because we KNOW that they'll screw the pooch if there's every a disaster there...)))
Oh. My. Gosh. Mr. Brown better get FEMA out to California RIGHT AWAY--TODAY, NOW!--he doesn't want to be accused of not getting the National Guard and everyone else out here before the next Big One hits!
I think his main complaint now is that Brown lacks PR skills and was fired from a job. Is that about it, spanalot?
LOL...I heard that 'SLAP!' clear over here!
can you read my palm?
what about Tarot cards?
"do you condone and/or encourage your fellow
management types who follow the practice expressed in "Must be willing to break the law "?
"
What is your fascination with the "law"? Did you ever drive over 55mph? Did you ever try on shoes without socks? Did you ever taste a grape at a supermarket w/o paying for it? Ever party with the boys after a shift and drive home?
Did you ever buy 13 ears of corn and pay for 12. - ever take a pencil from work.
Tell me that you would not "break the law" to feed people after 5 days without if you could.
"I think his main complaint now is that Brown lacks PR skills and was fired from a job."
No, malfeasance is more like it.
"LOL...I heard that 'SLAP!' clear over here!"
Let's see if youre still chirpin after you read this:
"Why Was the Federal Medical Response So Slow?
The Department of Homeland Security runs the National Disaster Medical System to provide around-the-clock emergency "medical response to a disaster area in the form of teams, supplies, and equipment" and assist "patient movement from a disaster site to unaffected areas of the nation." When needed, this system is supposed to be able to mobilize the Strategic National Stockpile of essential drugs and supplies. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the stockpile can be "delivered to any state in the U.S. within 12 hours."
Yet the medical response to Hurricane Katrina was severely lacking. Thousands of people in the Superdome and Convention Center languished without basic medical care. In New Orleans hospitals, staff struggled to care for hundreds of patients for days without adequate electricity, light, food, or sanitation. Area nursing homes issued desperate cries for help, including one banner stating: "HELP. THIS IS A HEALTH-CARE FACILITY. NEED MEDICINE. NO FOOD." Front-line doctors complained that the Department of Homeland Security sent disaster medical assistance teams to Baton Rouge, not New Orleans. Supplies from the Strategic National Stockpile did not begin arriving in Louisiana and Mississippi until three days after the hurricane struck. "
