FEMA chief Michael Brown is recalled to Washington and replaced by Coast Guard Vice Admiral Thad Allen as head of on-site disaster relief efforts in New Orleans. It's not enough, and it's too late, but it's something.
If there's any truth to the notion that either Hurricane Katrina or 9/11 were punishments visited upon America for her sins, then the sin in question was, in both cases, allowing a clueless, spineless bully like George W. Bush to become president. 2005. 2001. I wonder if he's fiddling with the locks at Versailles as we speak.

Good on you, Josh.
