Oh, shut up already, Brownie.
Embattled former FEMA director Michael Brown says he was initially unaware of desperate conditions at the New Orleans Convention Center because it was not a planned Hurricane Katrina evacuation site, according to a congressional memo.

After learning from television about the thousands of evacuees who gathered at the center, Brown ordered food and water be delivered there. But Brown, who on Tuesday faces a House inquiry into the government's slow response to the Aug. 29 disaster, told congressional aides that "there is no reason FEMA would have known about it beforehand."

FEMA as a consultant. How stupid do you have to be to reach a position of power these days? :banghead:

5. Thanks!
I've been lurking for a while and finally have time to post, downtime between studying and classes and all of that.
