14. I can never figure out which day, because it's recorded to . . .
DVR, and I can't get the dang thing to record only first runs, so I get about 20 Daily Show episodes a week.

16. "those dirty terraists" care much more about the people than FEMA.
:sarcasm:
Hezbolla is showing just why they have such loyality. They do give a damn about their people which is a lot more than can be said for Bushco.

9. Actually, FEMA does give a shit . . .
Lots of highly motivated people in the organization, not including the political appointees. Many of the best professionals bailed between 2001 and 2005 because they could tell the organization was being wrecked and they didn't want to be there when The Big One hit. Well, Katrina was The Big One.

Michael Brown was so fucking stupid that the Katrina response was doomed before it got started, and the cleanup/reconstruction doomed because Chertoff isn't a lot brighter than Brown and he's a total toady who can't see outside of the demands from his political bosses.

18. Yes. Listen to the news.
And watch it. They're paying out $12,000 cash to anybody who can prove their home was demolished. How much was FEMA reluctantly shelling out after Katrina? A couple hundred bucks?
