So I've returned

Yes, I'm back.  It has been way to long since I've posted on Random Ramblings, but never fear I am back.  Hopefully my three readers haven't missed me that much.  The one big issue that I want to address is the announcement of President Obama that Florida Emergency Management Director Craig Fugate will be the new director of FEMA.  This appointment has been met with over whelming support from all.  Please click here to read an article from MSNBC about the Fugate appointment.  One really funny piece of information to take out of that article is the following quote discussing the FEMA failures with Hurricane Katrina response:

"Since Hurricane Katrina, when FEMA arrived both late and unprepared, the agency has been under intense public scrutiny and Congress passed a law requiring the head of FEMA to have emergency management experience." 

Really? the Congress of the United States needed to pass legislation requiring the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to have Emergency Management experience.  Wow.
