fun on a tuesday

FORMER FEMA DIRECTOR MICHAEL DAVIS: FEMA is not a first responder agency with the resources to assume principal responsibility for overwhelmed state and local governments during a disaster. This is not the movies. There's no Tommy Lee Jones character who comes in and takes charge of everything. And that's probably a good thing. I continue to believe the worst lesson to be learned from Katrina is that all answers reside in Washington.

Well that is a relief. I thought Hurricane Katrina WAS a movie and that all those people stuck and suffering were union extras.

You can read the entirety of Brown's testimony here.
It's particularly fun to read while listening to Common's song "Testify."
Or maybe that's just me.
You can try to figure out which Tommy Lee Jones movie Brown was thinking of…my vote is for Space Cowboys.
