Nothing like a little righteous anger to wake you up.

Got home. Tail dragging. Just staying awake long enough to make a quick snack so hunger doesn't keep me from sleeping.

Then I hear a tape of an interview on Headline News. Soledad O'Brien talking to a FEMA guy. Trying to get some answers out of him about why it took FEMA so long to, well, do ANYTHING. It took her three or four tries to break through his steamroller script delivery, and when he finally DID answer the question, he laid the blame squarely on Louisiana. "We depend on the states for information." In other words, everyone at FEMA works in isolated cubicles with televisions and radios utterly forbidden, so no one could find out what everyone else already knew. And what the state officials in Louisiana probably didn't think they had to tell FEMA about, since it was ALL OVER EVERY NEWS CHANNEL.

So much for sleep. I'll try anyway, although now that Dubya's on TV I'm gonna have to turn it off....
