FEMA is on the case!

Yay! It's National Preparedness Month!

Meanwhile, the second link on the original version of FEMA's Katrina donations page was to Pat Robertson's charity, no lie. In the current version they have it bumped down to third (via Josh Marshall, who concedes that Charity Navigator rates them highly, but also talks about Robertson's past problems keeping his mitts off the dough).

Speaking of Robertson, ever wondered why Disney doesn't yank his show off the air? They can't.

National Preparedness Month, eh? *snort*

Uh, anyway, I'm here from hemlock_martini's LJ and I was wondering if I may friend you?

Forgot to respond to this. Sure, go ahead. Nobody needs any permission to friend me.

Gracias. :o)

But Robertson's financial holdings are relatively permanent and multinational. He is impervious to your criticism. He doesn't need you. He doesn't need your money. He doesn't need America.

Wow. And really, really scary.

I see Ted Haggard said:

He was not recommending something to the State Department. He was not exposing himself sexually on the platform the way Janet Jackson did.

This will be added to my list of things to grateful for this year.

God, FEMA is messed up.

I like this person's thinking about how to solve the problem, from a geek perspective.
