>So many reports of FEMA not being as effective as people expected. Yet Obama and his administration are getting a free pass. It's ridiculous the way the media has covered for Obama: Oh screw that, Tench. I'm right in the middle of all of it. This is the worst widespread disaster this city has ever seen and it's being handled just fine. FEMA, the Governor (whom I really don't like), and the Mayor (also whom I really don't like) are all doing a great job. It's not perfect, but it's also unprecedented. I had drinks with two FEMA agents on Friday night and they knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing. It's not a scattered deal at all, aside from the fact that it's tough for them to get hotel rooms here. Don't fool yourself. You may not like Obama on other things, and I definitely dislike Cuomo and Bloomberg, but at every turn, this City is doing better than I expected. -Z

Baby Killer' Spray-Painted On Campaign Office Of Wayne Powell, Eric Cantor's Opponent Posted: 11/03/2012 9:33 pm EDT Updated: 11/03/2012 10:52 pm EDT CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Vandals spray-painted the words "Baby Killer" on the campaign headquarters of Wayne Powell, the Democrat challenging Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), and wrote "Nigger Lover" on a sign in front of another one of his offices, a Powell spokesman confirmed Saturday to The Huffington Post. A tipster gave HuffPost a heads up on the incidents, and Powell campaign spokesman Brendan MacArthur confirmed the vandalism at the Midlothian and Henrico offices. MacArthur said the attacks happened Friday night and police departments in both counties have been alerted. Campaign staffers discovered the attacks on Saturday morning. One staffer snapped a photo at the Midlothian office, where "Baby Killer" was painted on the exterior of the building. At the Henrico office, a Powell campaign sign was vandalized with the racist epithet. Powell is hoping to unseat Cantor in Virginia's 7th District, which includes parts of Richmond and its suburbs in Henrico and Chesterfield Counties, along with Page and Rappahannock counties. The district is ranked safely Republican by Roll Call. huffingtonpost.com
