Mike Brown, the embattled head of FEMA resigned today after dropping a bombshell on Washington.
In a seven-page, single-spaced, double-sided, rambling resignation letter he admits that he and Howard Dean, national chairman of the DNC, rigged the federal delay in responding to Hurricane Katrina in order to make the Bush administration look bad.
Brown’s resignation letter spells out the entire plot. He states that Dean contacted him in the days preceding Katrina coming ashore with the delay idea. “Howard [Dean] promised me my choice of positions with the DNC plus an increase of 1/3 my current salary with FEMA for every day I delayed the federal response. I made good on my end of the bargain and now the DNC is making good on theirs.”
In related news, the DNC announced today that Mike Brown, former Director of FEMA, has been named Director of Public Relations for the Gulfport region of the DNC. His first order of business is a volunteer recruitment campaign among the black communities of Mississippi and Louisiana.
“It’s a win-win for everybody,” declared DNC chairman Howard Dean. “Most of these folks got nothing to do anyway, since all the businesses where they worked were destroyed. We [the DNC] get to swell our volunteer ranks and they [the black communities] get to do something productive with their time. It is our firm belief that Mike [Brown] is just the man to go down there and get the job done.”
Brown is expected to head to the region immediately, but it will likely be five days before he actually gets there.

Not funny. Not even attempting to be funny. Just throwing crap like a chimp in the zoo.

Not funny? What you smoking? That last line is pure comic genius!
Good thing humor is a subjective thing. Also, too bad more people online don't have a sense of one.

Wow. What a revelation. Hopefully this will help all those naive infants out there see that the non-reaction to Katrina was not the end-result of Republicanism. There is virtue and evil everywhere, and the type of mentality that leads one to proclaim one political idealogy over another, regardless of intellectual considerations, assures only that the virtuous will never ascend to the top except theough dumb luck.

Vigilante Man
September 11, 2005. Four years after America's personal "D-Day."
So much already said, so much emotion. So many camera opportunities. Just smile for the media boys and see how the image sells.
George Dubya Bush is milking this all in. After all, this heinous act allowed him to define his presidency, right? The "War on Terrorism" commander-in-chief. But I ask Georgie-boy, overseer of the Tush Administration, just what exactly is terrorism? I always thought it was something that instilled terror on mass groups of people.
Instead of preening on the White House lawn, looking all smug and somber in front of the networks and the children's choir, why is he not in New Orleans getting his arse dirty, sweating with the suddenly destitute, who have had all stripped resolutely away, and with the thousands of volunteers and government workers who actually give a damn?
News flash, Tush: Katrina was worse than 9-11.
He hasn't even been in Iraq in more than a year. Sure, I know it's a security risk (and the time zone changes would no doubt interfere with his nappy-time) but there's no excuse not to be in New Orleans. Or anywhere in the Katrina-zone, for that matter. I'll tell you why he's not: because he's vapid, he's indifferent, and he scorns us. 9-11 defined him, so stop bothering him already!
You know, the news over here about this momentous day is something of an eye-opener. There were a number of Polish and other Central & Eastern European volunteers who sweated blood to work 12 hours per day cleaning the rubble away from the former World Trade Center site. Great stuff, right? Yeah, but now they're sick from inhaling all the chemical mish-mash and cinder block dust and charred bodies that had to be cleared out. Why? Because they were issued the wrong masks which did not filter out the voluminous detritus. The American volunteers did not have this problem.
Whether or not it was simply an oversight or just dumb luck isn't the question. These workers have petitioned the federal government for redress, for medical benefits, and so far their applications have been denied. Bet you haven't heard about that over there in Land of the Free, have you?
Let me make this perfectly clear: for the first time since he took office I am ashamed to have this man as my president. Excuse me - not my president, but of the USA. He is a silly kid in the world's biggest candy shop and that makes him a liability. He needs to be removed from office.
Now.
