September 09,2005 | WASHINGTON -- Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown is being removed from his role managing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, The Associated Press has learned.

Brown is being sent back to Washington from Baton Rouge, where he was the primary official overseeing the federal government's response to the disaster, according to two federal officials who declined to be identified before the announcement.

Whatever that means.

1. Cherkoff just spinned that wonderfully

- The first phase is finished - the rest will be long and they cant block Brown that long.
- We need Brown in Washington to oversee all the problems relative to FEMA (There are other subjects than Katrina)
-They keep confidence in Brown and he was nota asked to resign

2. Wow! That is one breathtaking stream of bullshit

That is really a masterpiece of baffling bullshit. I am sort of impressed. Of course, everyone knows that Brown was shitcanned because of his incompetence and because his resume was faked in places.

Wow! That goes in the bullshit hall of fame.

5. No comfort to So Carolina.

-- Ophelia regains hurricane strength and could make landfall in South Carolina on Monday or Tuesday, says National Hurricane Center.

If I lived there, I'd be hiding in a closet or heading inland about now.

6. Looks like it might hit as a cat 1 or 2?

My prayers are with all in harm's way. Heed the warnings and get out, cuz I don't trust help to come now.
