Election Day 2005

Posted by Joe on 8th November 2005

Today is election day. I think I was number 8 in my polling place, and the 2nd signature in the book of registered list of voters from A-M. They didn’t ask for identification, just checked signatures. Also didn’t find it humerous when I asked what we were voting on.

Posted by Joe on 3rd November 2005

Just a clip from the news about Fema Director Brown’s email response to the lone FEMA employee in New Orleans as Katrina hit. Is this any way to run a government ?

The newly released e-mails depict an official who “made few decisions and seemed out of touch, ” said Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-La. Last month at a Senate hearing, Marty Bahamonde, the Federal Emergency Management Agency”s only employee in New Orleans when Katrina struck Aug. 29, said he e-mailed Brown on Aug. 31, “Sir, I know that you know the situation is past critical … many will die.” Brown replied, “Thanks for the update. Anything specific I need to do or tweak?”
