Yet another example of FEMA's epic incompetence--or, as the administration presumably sees it, a heckuva job: YRHT, Scout-Prime and Loki have details...short version: FEMA under Team Bush is as close to a real world/real time example of Murphy's Law you'll ever see, with an added bonus of denying basic constitutional rights for residents.
You know, at first I thought this was yet another example of the administration's pig ignorance--they don't even know how to properly construct a Potemkin Village--but on second thought, maybe this IS what they really want to do: build shoddy-assed trailer parks out in the middle of nowhere as part of the plan to sweep their Katrina/Rita debacle under the proverbial rug. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if at least some members of the cabal are thrilled to see the latest round of killing and bloodshed in the Middle East--not only does it provide a distraction from both their failure along the Gulf Coast here--and the Twin Towers of Debacle in Iraq and Afghanistan--but it additionally instills some element of fear, at least among those not eagerly hoping for Armageddon and/or "The Rapture." It also perpetuates the myth of "incompetent government," which Bobby Jindal latched onto like a sucker fish to nurse shark.
Oh, and I see that part of the package Condi "negotiated" includes some form of "humanitarian" aid. Well, for the sake of the Lebanese, let's hope they don't get the FEMA treatment THERE, although after the last two weeks, an offer of humanitarian assistance reminds me an awful lot of a line from a song by Mike West, coincidentally entitled Corps of Engineers:
now i would like an explanation
of this word "mitigation"
right now the way that it seems
you put a man from his home
then buy him a ticket to the super dome
it's like beating your kid then buying him
an ice cream
