FEMA was gutted

and largely absorbed into DHS. I'm not surprised that it ddn't function as it once did, it couldn't.

If it wasn't tragic, I'd be laughing at the Bush admin, they created a huge bureaucracy with many faces for the purpose of reacting quickly to crises. What morons.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
