"FEMA, Slow to the Rescue, Now Stumbles in Aid Effort"

Why am I not surprised? Under Chertoff, FEMA has devolved into an agency even more useless than it was pre-Witt. It has been suggested that was a design goal, to provide proof that the government isn't really capable of doing good for the people.

I was listening to NPR earlier in the week and they interviewed some people in a parish whose name slips my mind at the moment. Anyway, there is no FEMA presence in the parish at all. So if someone needs aid, they need to travel to an adjacent parish. But, if they leave, then they may not be able to come back, at a minimum get delayed several days while the authorities verify that they live there and have some reason to enter their home parish.
