Senate: FEMA is beyond repair.
In related news...
U.S. Citizens: Congress needs a re-rack.
WASHINGTON — Hurricane Katrina turned FEMA into a "symbol of a bumbling bureaucracy" so far beyond repair that it should be scrapped, senators said Thursday. They called for creation of a new disaster relief agency as the next storm season looms on the horizon.
EVERYWHERE ELSE - Lack of values, common decency, honesty, integrity and term limits has turned CONGRESS into a "cesspool of incompetance" so mired in it's own fecal matter that all of its current "career politician" members should be fired and forced to wait tables at the Bennigan's, Applebee's, TGI Friday's...or otherwise "flair-required" restaurant of their choosing, the American public unanimously said later that same Thursday. They noted that this would be the perfect time, with many elections already scheduled this fall...which should give Teddy Kennedy enough time to find suitable pairs of black pants and sneakers.

"What do you think someone who always does the bare minimum? We require at least 15 pieces of flair, but we encourage folks to wear more."
Congress needs Napalm and lots of it.
Or maybe they can work on one of these stations that has Air America on it (sure is a lot of them):

You know, it is great to see America's HAM radio enthusiasts come together for a good cause.
Hat's off to AAR for finding a use for all those spare 40 watt transistors.
Now, THAT'S American ingenuity!
Oh, by the way, I had to restrain this list of Rush Limbaugh stations after it had AAR's station list on the ground and was kicking it's ass. I apologize.

Al double-spaced, that's cheating.
Predictions by many, including the host of Where Have You Gone,... were wrong about Air America! It is still there and still growing (though I must admit I don't listen to it and I'm a liberal - probably like a lot of conservatives who find Rush Limbaugh annoying too.)
Even this conservative admits he was wrong:

I am a little surprise too, I guess.
Surprised that enough wealthy donors have been willing to keep it afloat despite dismal ratings.
It started as and continues to be an unwilling non-profit.
Term limits for congress... now there is a thought. The only problem is that congress has to vote to approve the measure. Who is going to vote themselves a time restriction on how long they can collect that capital hill pay check? Congress is corrupt. And I mean the whole lot of them. I agree on the rerack. And this time make it so the American people can't vote over and over again for the familiar face of the incumbant.
Teddy Kennedy alone is reason enough for term-limits.
Thomas Sowell had a series of great columns a few months ago. Check them out here
We already have term limits -- they're called elections.
Happy to see Rush in jail the other day -- he, he, he!
Colbert Lampoons Bush at White House Correspondents Dinner-- President Not Amused?
By E&P Staff
Published: April 29, 2006 11:40 PM ET updated Sunday
WASHINGTON A blistering comedy “tribute” to President Bush by Comedy Central’s faux talk show host Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondent Dinner Saturday night left George and Laura Bush unsmiling at its close.
Earlier, the president had delivered his talk to the 2700 attendees, including many celebrities and top officials, with the help of a Bush impersonator.
Colbert, who spoke in the guise of his talk show character, who ostensibly supports the president strongly, urged Bush to ignore his low approval ratings, saying they were based on reality, “and reality has a well-known liberal bias.”
He attacked those in the press who claim that the shake-up at the White House was merely re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. “This administration is soaring, not sinking,” he said. “If anything, they are re-arranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg.”
Colbert told Bush he could end the problem of protests by retired generals by refusing to let them retire. He compared Bush to Rocky Balboa in the “Rocky” movies, always getting punched in the face—“and Apollo Creed is everything else in the world.”
Turning to the war, he declared, "I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."
He noted former Ambassador Joseph Wilson in the crowd, just three tables away from Karl Rove, and that he had brought " Valerie Plame." Then, worried that he had named her, he corrected himself, as Bush aides might do, "Uh, I mean... he brought Joseph Wilson's wife." He might have "dodged the bullet," he said, as prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald wasn't there.
Colbert also made biting cracks about missing WMDs, “photo ops” on aircraft carriers and at hurricane disasters, melting glaciers and Vice President Cheney shooting people in the face. He advised the crowd, "if anybody needs anything at their tables, speak slowly and clearly into your table numbers and somebody from the N.S.A. will be right over with a cocktail. "
Observing that Bush sticks to his principles, he said, "When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday - no matter what happened Tuesday."
Also lampooning the press, Colbert complained that he was “surrounded by the liberal media who are destroying this country, except for Fox News. Fox believes in presenting both sides of the story — the president’s side and the vice president’s side." In another slap at the news channel, he said: "I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational argument. I call it the No Fact Zone. Fox News, I own the copyright on that term."
He also reflected on the alleged good old days for the president, when the media was still swallowing the WMD story.
Addressing the reporters, he said, "Let's review the rules. Here's how it works. The president makes decisions, he’s the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Put them through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know--fiction."
He claimed that the Secret Service name for Bush's new press secretary is "Snow Job."
Colbert closed his routine with a video fantasy where he gets to be White House Press Secretary, complete with a special “Gannon” button on his podium. By the end, he had to run from Helen Thomas and her questions about why the U.S. really invaded Iraq and killed all those people.
As Colbert walked from the podium, when it was over, the president and First Lady gave him quick nods, unsmiling. The president shook his hand and tapped his elbow, and left immediately.
Those seated near Bush told E&P's Joe Strupp, who was elsewhere in the room, that Bush had quickly turned from an amused guest to an obviously offended target as Colbert’s comments brought up his low approval ratings and problems in Iraq.
Several veterans of past dinners, who requested anonymity, said the presentation was more directed at attacking the president than in the past. Several said previous hosts, like Jay Leno, equally slammed both the White House and the press corps.
“This was anti-Bush,” said one attendee. “Usually they go back and forth between us and him.” Another noted that Bush quickly turned unhappy. “You could see he stopped smiling about halfway through Colbert,” he reported.
After the gathering, Snow, while nursing a Heineken outside the Chicago Tribune reception, declined to comment on Colbert. “I’m not doing entertainment reviews,” he said. “I thought the president was great, though.”
Strupp, in the crowd during the Colbert routine, had observed that quite a few sitting near him looked a little uncomfortable at times, perhaps feeling the material was a little too biting--or too much speaking "truthiness" (Colbert's made-up word) to power.
Asked by E&P after it was over if he thought he'd been too harsh, Colbert said, "Not at all." Was he trying to make a point politically or just get laughs? "Just for laughs," he said. He said he did not pull any material for being too strong, just for time reasons. (He later said the president told him "good job" when he walked off.)
Helen Thomas told Strupp her segment with Colbert was "just for fun."
In its report on the affair, USA Today asserted that some in the crowd cracked up over Colbert but others were "bewildered." Wolf Blitzer of CNN said he thought Colbert was funny and "a little on the edge."
Earlier, the president had addressed the crowd with a Bush impersonator alongside, with the faux-Bush speaking precisely and the real Bush deliberately mispronouncing words, such as the inevitable "nuclear." At the close, Bush called the imposter "a fine talent. In fact, he did all my debates with Senator Kerry." The routine went over well with the crowd -- better than did Colbert's, in fact.
Among attendees at the black tie event: Morgan Fairchild, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Justice Antonin Scalia, George Clooney, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter of the Doobie Brothers--in a kilt.
There is no reason for an agency or a bureau like this. The existing entities like the National guard and Army in addition to normal humanitarian aid are supposed to handle disasters. More than 500,000,000$ in outside aid was blocked by FEMA in New Orleans, and the transport "ontainers" were filled with fermaldehyde.
Bonners Ferry is a suburban place. But I think Air America has a good signal there. It is already a common misconception that small towns do not offer options - as long as you choose the right real estate realtor, everything is going to be all worth it.
