FEMA Fouls Emergency Mandate Again
Sometimes things get overlooked. I just can’t be all over at the place at once, and still have a life. Hmm. Maybe I need to decide which is more important…
If you thought the colossal FEMA fuckup in New Orleans got the organization to pull their shit together, you were wrong. FEMA exists under the direction of a septic tank of incompetents and political hacks. It’s amazing any of them can tie their own shoelaces… Or, perhaps, if this snowstorm had hit, say, Beverly Hills or Palm Springs Or Aspen...some place where rich white Republicans hang out, FEMA would have been on top of things. You pay your money and you take your choice.

Maddy Sauer and Brian Hartman Report:
Over 200,000 homes are still without power in the Buffalo, N.Y., area, yet residents and local businesses are still awaiting federal reimbursement funds as a full disaster declaration has not yet been made.
Meanwhile, fire departments and other public facilities are requesting new generators as their emergency generators are running out of power after almost a week of use.
