I'm having an extended conversation/flame war with Davenport at Kate's here: http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/021775.html#c772014<br /><br />The topic is why FEMA is CRAP and needs to be shuttered. FEMA is so completely full of shit they can't get fuel out of FULL TANKS in gas stations. They're so full of crap they can't get food to the bottom half of Manhattan Island from stores on the top half. <br /><br />Davenport LOVES FEMA, predictably.
