"A tale of two Floridas......Bush's and Floridians':" Despite the promises to do better after Katrina and the perception by many that FEMA had improved, it actually didn't change much at all. For Rita, almost everybody evacuated, but the first responders still wound up looting to get food and water. FEMA couldn't even support them. No big surprise that the same is happening in the wake of Wilma, and that is complicated by the fact that fewer evacuated. Like you've said many times before, it looks like they are losing control. For 5 years, they have come from the arrogant place that gov't does nothing; that all gov't workers are incompetent; that it takes very little smarts/experience to do the job that gov't does. Consequently, when placing people, their choices had little to do with experience and competence and a lot to do with patronage. Now the work can't get down because the ones in charge don't know how to do it. And unlike the Wizard they are trying to do it with smoke and mirrors AFTER the dog has exposed the Wizard for whom he is. And we mustn't forget.........Bush has never been a smart man; a competent employee; an honest employer; a hard working individual. That's who's in charge. It seems we need to do something about that sooner rather than later. ted
