Hey, where are we going again??

I just read this article on CNN and I'm posting about it even if it's from Tuesday, because what's happened (and unfortunately still happening) is unbelievable and outrageous.

Apparently, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) packed up around 180 survivors of Hurricane Katrina on an airplane and sent them to Charleston, South Carolina (giving the local authorities only a 30 minutes notice to prepare.) Another glaring example of incompetence on the part of this agency under Bush (remember, under Clinton, it was the best agency ever.)

Unfortunately, while they were able to get ready and were waiting for the evacuees, the plane never arrived:

A South Carolina health official said his colleagues scrambled Tuesday when FEMA gave only a half-hour notice to prepare for the arrival of a plane carrying as many as 180 evacuees to Charleston.

"Unfortunately, the plane did not come in," Simkovich said. "There was a mistake in the system, coming out through FEMA, that we did not receive the aircraft this afternoon. It went to Charleston, West Virginia."

A line of buses and ambulances idled behind him at Charleston International Airport as he described what happened.

"This is a 'no event' for today," Simkovich said.

400 miles away. Only in George Bush's America.
