This amazing post entitled Being Poor is required reading for anyone out there that still thinks that everyone that wanted to evacuate NO in the days before the storm was able to do so. I didn’t think anyone can be that nieve, but apparently, I was wrong.
Come to think of it, that nievete is probably a good part of why the NO situation has gotten completely out of hand. I wonder if Mike Brown of FEMA has ever been poor.
Interesting news has come to light today regarding Mike Brown’s history and how he got his current job:
“The federal official in charge of the bungled New Orleans rescue was fired from his last private-sector job overseeing horse shows. [Brown] got [his current] job through an old college friend who at the time was heading up FEMA.”
This good-ole-boy-former-GOP-activist’s poor planning and leadership have incredibly made this situation worse. Shame on you, Mike. Hope you get fired from this job too, and soon.
