So...I still have quite a few Mardi Gras photos to post but I thought that this was a particularly good time to show these ones. I heard that after the storm there were a bunch of floats with FEMA references but I thought this 'evil clown' one was particularly scary....and appropriate. I could not have known that the WORLD would find this out soon enough....please read the article below...http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2009/02/new_orleans_fema_recovery_offi.html
Then, what do you know, the new Secretary of Homeland Security visited town this past week and saw for herself the issues surrounding the recovery that have so much to do with that dysfunctional office...All of us working on the recovery had very high hopes when Obama got elected that things would change around here.....and I consider this quite a quick response resulting in this fact-finding trip, particularly when so many other pressing issues are hitting them squarely at the same time.
