FEMA & The Fool

The FEMA Ice Follies Revisited
Agency opts to store millions of pounds for next disaster

FEMA just can’t seem to get it right and the President just doesn’t get it at all. FEMA is trucking ice all over the country in refrigerated trailers waiting for the next disaster because they didn’t get the ice to the right places during Katrina. So, now that they have paid for the ice, they don’t want to just dump it. They are storing it. Of course, storing ice in trucks is much more expensive than reselling or even dumping the ice and buying more when it is needed. That’s what our government does best – finds the most ridiculous and wasteful ways to spend our money.

And G.W. – what’s he doing? Oh, he’s creating photo opportunities by going to Gulf and saying a few nice words and pounding a few nails. It does not matter to me, how many platitudes he offers or how many nails he drives. He can never gain my trust. I pray that the rest of the United States citizenry can see through that smug smirk and blue collar shirt of his. He is as fake as the fur on my mom’s winter coat.
