You know, my office building sits diagonally across the street from FEMA

here in Atlanta.

Before moving to my present location, we were located right beside them.

They used to raise hell when our parking overflowed to their lots, and would yell bloody hell about our employees using their parking spaces.

The rationale they used was those spaces would be needed in case an emergency broke out.

I must make a point on Tuesday to go over there and talk to the "cool" employees to see just what the hell is going on with them.

3. Southern state capitols should be staging areas for 'cane relief

Which makes you wonder why they dawdled for 5 days before busing those people out of the Superdome and Convention Center in NO, huh ? It looks to me like they were arranging 'privatized' busing rather than having the military do the emergency evac/rescue, as they should have been doing.

Fiddling for dollars costs lives. That's the lesson #1 BushCo should learn. Sometimes the government has a monopoly on certain functions FOR A REASON ! The free market often fails, and fails badly.

4. Most appreciative for anything you can pry out of them!

Oh, and how full is that lot right now?

6. I really didn't notice yesterday, as these events unfolded into the

monstrosity that it is.

I really, really have to get over there on Tuesday.

I'm also going to talk to the guards at the gate -- they have all the skinny.

5. Their parking lot must be overflowing.
