From Drownie to Duckie
So, Drownie has resigned.
Now, we learn from Reuters that his replacement will be DHS veteran David Paulison.
Paulison. Does that name ring a bell? David Paulison of the Department of Homeland Security who, in 2003, said that in the event of a terrorist attack, it would be a good idea to seal up our homes with plastic sheeting and duct tape?
After Katrina, I suppose we can expect a surge in the sale of these.

WASHINGTON, Sept 12 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Monday named David Paulison, a top official in the Homeland Security Department, to replace Michael Brown on an acting basis as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Bush moved quickly to put Paulison in charge of FEMA after Brown resigned the position under fire for the slow federal response to Hurricane Katrina that killed hundreds and displace 1 million people.

On Tuesday, less than 24 hours after U.S. Fire Administrator David Paulison described a list of useful items, stores in the greater Washington, D.C. area reported a surge in sales of plastic sheeting, duct tape, and other emergency items.

We are definently doomed. Did Paulison read and comprehend the instructions on the life preserver? Does he understand that it doesn't actually preserve life? Does he know that it just keeps your head above water... and it will only do that if you don't die first from the water being contaminated and disease ridden. I am sure George W. told him that he uses it all the time when he is on vacation. I can hear good ol' George Dubya now, "This is just what those people need down there, you see, uh (with full out hand gestures)... you are doing a great job. You should come visit me and my wife (notice the bad grammer there) at the Camp David this weekend. I need a vacation (more hand gesturing), and you deserve one too, because you are doing a, uh, uh, comprehendable (what?!)... job."
