Well, I was doing some of my daily news reading this afternoon and what did I turn up?  Well, it was one of the more interesting peices of news I have found in some time.  I'm not going to post the entire MSNBC article here, but there's your link and read it if you want.  Basicially, let me just fill you in, and then give you the quote that really made my stomach turn.

Long story short, Michael Brown, the cheif of FEMA and therefore the man in charge of the pathetic excuse for disaster relief in New Orleans and the gulf region that we have seen since Katrina struck, "accidentally" said that he had had experience dealing with disasters before in his resume, but oops... turns out he made the mistake and actually had no experience at all.  The article goes into it, and I've been up since 5:45, so I dont want to.  But basicially, he had NO disaster experience and NO job qualifications, and so has been relieved of his duty.  So what got him into office?  Well, according to the washington post...

"...five of eight top FEMA officials had come to their jobs with virtually no experience in handling disasters. The agency's top three leaders, including Brown, had ties to Bush's 2000 presidential campaign or the White House advance operation. "

This is the kind of administration we are dealing with... and we wonder why government doesn't run smoothly
