SocraticGadfly: We got Ike but no ice

We got Ike but no ice

Ahh, more FEMA brilliance at work. FEMA now says it’s not delivering ice among relief supplies.

Even worse, the policy has been on FEMA’s books since last year, but it hasn’t seen fit to tell state and local officials.

A FEMA spokesperson said it’s part of a more business-modeled policy. Oh, and this from the administration that blew a multi-trillion surplus and put a war off budget? Wunderbar.

And, that’s not the only Ike problem. A San Antonio-area truck driver is claiming drivers in the Ike recovery area are sitting idle, unable to deliver supplies. This particular trucker’s been trying to deliver for five days.

Three guesses as to what he’s got in his truck, and the first two don’t count!

You’re doing a heckova job, post-Brownie FEMA!
