ROUND-UP
FEMA Director Michael Brown, under fire from all directions and dimensions, may have padded his resume to get the job. PunditGuy: Brown has been thrown under the bus.
This photo is the best summary yet of the whole bus and Red Cross situation.
Songblogger Dr. BLT has two new Katrina-related tunes out this week. Here's one, and here's the other.
The ACLU has been actively thwarting interrogations of terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. When otherwise sound thinkers go out of their way to defend the ACLU, and then the ACLU does things like this, otherwise sound thinkers shouldn't cry about attracting a little criticism themselves. What on earth am I talking about? Go here and follow the links.
Patriots' fans booed Kanye West at last night's NFL season opener, presumably for his anti-Bush rant during the NBC Katrina relief telethon last weekend. Today, I am a Patriots fan.
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco apparently doesn't understand her own job. She performed so badly during the Katrina disaster that President Bush contemplated invoking the Insurrection Act to shove her aside and assume control of all disaster relief resources. You can be sure, though, that had the President done that, Gov. Blanco would have played the girl card, the Democrats would have played the party politics card, and the entire left would have played the dictator card. The Insurrection Act might have become more relevant to the situation than any of us should want.
UPDATE: Michael Brown may not have padded his resume. But he is being removed from the ongoing relief effort and brought back to DC.
