Bad Portsmanship! or… Who’s Minding the Shore?

I was in an Olympic state of mind till this bubbled up.
--> How is it that major deals - selling off whole swatches of the US shoreline - can go through without the knowledge of the US President or his staff? They seem oddly surprised (when not beset), by a lot of things these days.
It appears the deal was structured by one foreign government (England - in this case an ally) on behalf of another foreign concern - the UAE – a body related to those proven to be less than friendly.

All baffling to say the least. This deal was announced with only 2 weeks to go before it is to be signed, sealed and done. It involves 6 major shipping ports along US shores and Bush & friends are trying to bum rush it through the approval process. See article link below for the gory details.

I just need to ask a few basic, and pardon me, possibly dumb questions:
- Who will secure us if we can’t make a commitment to secure ourselves?
- How does all of this evolve without a hint or clue, or at least a heads-up call to Washington?
- If the UAE applied for an oversight position at your company - would you hire them to run the show?

- What do we get? It appears the American public is getting reassuring words from some of the same people who turned New Orleans and the war on terror into models of expensive disorder for reasons too complex to explain here... or anywhere else for that matter.
- Does this sound ludicrous to you?

Ultimately, we must ALL ask: Did we hire the president or his wards to provide such grossly inadequate performance?

** Here’s one answer: They should be fired… or we could just give them a Heidi Klum send off … you’re out!

Stuck in the Mud! - F.E.M.A. leaves a hot mess in Arkansas


Attention readers: Check this...

Arkansas Congressman Mike Ross says thousands of mobile homes ordered for Hurricane Katrina now sit empty in Arkansas. Ross says the empty homes represent a waste of taxpayer money. The Congressman added the homes will become worse as the trailers become mired in mud.
Ross sent a letter to acting Federal Emergency Management Agency director David Paulison. The letter said it's unacceptable for people to still be sleeping in tents and living in hotel rooms nearly four months after the tragedy, when more than 10,000 new and empty manufactured homes are waiting.

Thousands of empty mobile homes that FEMA ordered to house refugees in the wake of the August 29th Gulf Coast storm now sit empty at sites near Texarkana and Hope.
.... ("Hope" - How Ironic is that? - this is Mint's comment)...

Ross, whose district includes Hope, wrote that staging areas are overflowing with trailers. According to Ross, these pastures and fields were not effectively prepared by FEMA, and when winter rains hit the 'gumbo', soil will cause the trailers carrying the manufactured homes to sink.
