Operation Timed Out.

I'm in agreement with you on all points. They seem to understand
which side their bread is buttered on and who butters it, so they
responded quickly and compassionately to the emergency.... unlike
FEMA.

BTW: Did you read about Rita and gas? It took 14 hours to go 10
miles out of Houston... quite a traffic jam. Apparently there were
Army issued gas trucks going around to fill up tanks - BUT the nozzels
were the wrong size. This type of SNAFU is so typical of our American
disaster response effort (Homeland Security? What homeland
security?), it's disgusting.
