Michael Brown was recalled to Washington to pick up his medal. Only, he really, really, really screwed up, so apparently they're going to have to create an award above the Medal of Freedom just to honor his greatness.
Or something. "Recalled to Washington" is something normally associated with embassy personnel or players on the AAA New Orleans Zephyrs.
Did a speed edit on a 44-page document today. It's the same publication we've put out for years running, but EVERY SINGLE YEAR there's a period that appears after a URL, and every year I take my red pen and cross it out, and every year the publications person takes it out, and every year it's out of the blue line, and every year it's out of the printed version, and still IT JUST KEEPS COMING BACK IN NEXT YEAR'S PROOF.
Children with a peanut allergy (PA) are faced with food and social restrictions due to the potentially life-threatening nature of their disease, for which there is no cure or treatment.
A little late to the discussion, but I heard there is a vaccine that can be given to a PA child at 6 years old that would increase his/her resistance significantly.
WRT Brown and FEMA, there's no way he remains director after this fiasco. His reassignment is the old "cat on the roof"* to his eventual replacement. And besides, who reassigns the director of an agency in his own agency?
- I'll be happy to relate if you don't know that joke

He's going to quietly resign. They're already floating the story that he was planning to resign at the end of hurricane season long before Katrina.
Wolfram, I love that joke. Feel free to retell!

Yeah, right.
What, was he planning on going back to his first love - mismanaging horsie stuff?
In FEMA revelation, Michael Brown fudged his resume
Yep, this is the administration that was going to bring dignity back to the White House.
I can still take cupcakes into Emmett's class and Northern California usually leads the nation in food dictatorship
Funny you should mention that, since I just read that Diane Feinstein wants NyQuil and Sudafed to become controlled substances (only purchasable in person; must show photo ID; must sign a register).
At a time of national crisis, and the President already having signed $61 BILLION in disaster relief, we as a nation can't afford to pay $9 an hour to laborers?
Given that we are paying mercenaries a whole lot more than that to patrol New Orleans....argh! I may be overly suspicious, but I think the administration sees this as a way to get the minimum wage lowered. If they suspend it here and now, it's possible that a precedent will be set, and minimum wage will either stay suspended, stay at the new lower levels, or be suspended whenever the Executive feels like it.
All these scum fuckers who want to shrink the federal government,
Yet oddly so many seem to support Bush, who doesn't have much a track record of shrinking the government.
I'm more likely to keep it in.
Yeah, I'm not the most internal guy. Sometimes to my own detriment.

This is the really mindbending part.
