Struggling through Hurricane Ike

“Where’s FEMA?” some evacuees have asked. Houston Mayor Bill White complained FEMA wasn’t bringing ice, water and meals fast enough, while the county administrator personally took over the coordination of efforts to hand out relief supplies.

According to (total jackass) Michael Chertoff (who runs FEMA), getting mad at FEMA now is just scapegoating FEMA for what is overall a difficult situation. I say, hand to the face Mr. Chertoff. Those who watched CNN for even ten minutes knew that there was a major storm brewing a week before it actually touched ground, in my humble non-official opinion, there should have been beds, warm soup etc set up within *hours* of the storm not days.

But who am I but some innocent blogger?
