Of course. What better way to justify locking black men up than to make them look like a bunch of gangster and pimps?

How else has it stayed on the air for so long...IT CAN"T BE CANCELLED?

I'm not getting the joke. Relief has been inadequate because the Red Cross is not controlled by the federal government?

[crasch.livejournal.com]

I think that the point is that a whole bunch of Federal fiefdoms are reponsible for disaster response/preparation, and therefore, action has been slowed by bureaucratic turf battles, unclear lines of authority, and inadequate communication.

I thought I could use that chart as good wallpapper, but it ultimately slowed down my productivity on the computer.

I'd like to see the current version, to see just how screwed up it is now --this chart predates the big "Homeland Security" reorganization.

So, wait, are you agreeing with the source you quoted that the federal government should have no role in disaster relief?
