FEMA the insane

This is a phantasmagoric srew-up by FEMA, mind-boggling.

Stumbling Storm-Aid Effort Put Tons of Ice on Trips to Nowhere

When the definitive story of the confrontation between Hurricane Katrina and the United States government is finally told, one long and tragicomic chapter will have to be reserved for the odyssey of the ice.

Ninety-one thousand tons of ice cubes, that is, intended to cool food, medicine and sweltering victims of the storm. It would cost taxpayers more than $100 million, and most of it would never be delivered.

The somewhat befuddled heroes of the tale will be truckers like Mark Kostinec, who was dropping a load of beef in Canton, Ohio, on Sept. 2 when his dispatcher called with an urgent government job: Pick up 20 tons of ice in Greenville, Pa., and take it to Carthage, Mo., a staging area for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Brothers and Sisters,

A brief silence.

God of the vineyard, you call us to work in your fields with righteousness and justice. May your creative purpose take root in our lives, bearing good fruit in our living and serving.
God of steadfast love,
hear our prayer.

*Meditate, hold in good and active thought.
