The fact that he is STILL allowed to comment after continuing to go on with the insults, after being given chances to bow out honorably either speaks to Michelle’s forgiving nature…or maybe she hasn’t got a chance to read it yet or has just blown him off…

But I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but after months and months of reading the childish insults, the baseless accusations, the general nonsense and foul and general violent nature of this individual…I would not miss him at all if Michelle or her proctors finally had enough and told him to finally “Have a nice day”.

That last “Suck it up” bumpersticker comment was about it for me. I will not be reading anything from him nor commenting to him again. As far as I am concerned, he is a waste of skin and air and a non-being.

what’s the deal with the person at the entrance? how much is that costing and for all this time 24/7 ???

IIRC, that person was Scooter.

And he’s wandering around the trailers right now, waving the $100 bill he got from James Carville…Oh wait, now he has $109 million, he probably bought his own trailer park.

That former redneck-in-chief’s cronies own the trailer lot on which Scooter guards the trailers as they rot.

The kicker is that taxpayers paid for the facility capital improvements that increased the industrial value for when a new tenant moves in after FEMA pulls out.

Maybe next time instead of the trailers for those who lost their homes, we could just hand out some Michele Malkin “Suck It Up” bumperstickers.

I thought that the problem was that they didn’t hand out the trailers?

It certainly sounds like some mobile home manufacturers cut many a corner to reap the bounty of unchecked federal disaster spending. If true, the culprits should be jailed and their companies liquidated.

I recall reading or seeing a report on the formaldahyde issue that some manufacturers indeed did cut corners.

IIRC, rushed production deadline demands by FEMA were so huge a volume of units, that certain manufacturers encountered a shortage of the appropriate construction material to get the trailers manufactured.

So, to meet the FEMA deadline and avoid penalties and loss of profit, they used whatever material they could get, potentially hazardous or not to get the trailers built and delivered.

It’s fitting that there are now 10,000 trailers at Hope, Arkansas, the birthplace of the nations first redneck-in-chief.

Illegal immigration.

Not knocking on you SirKnob. You said what I know about the Mississippi coast being obliterated. The difference is the victim game of NO, and the brass cahonas of the majority of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The problem, alluded to in the article, but never fully explored was/is the LA State Government.

Apparently they have a law that just could not be broken under any circumstances. The law bascially states that a ‘new’ mobile home cannot be installed within a certain distance of water and cannot be installed in a flood plain.

Many people ordered homes from FEMA only to find out they could not be placed on property they owned. Others ordered homes and simply never claimed them.

Yes, MS, for the most part had its act together. We had some difficulties with local townships, county officials, etc.. but, for the most part, people hung in and worked together.

MS received the brunt of Katrina and sustained much worse destruction. The areas hit were not as densly populated as New Orleans, however, whole areas were leveled. Century old brick homes simply ceased to exist.

K, I will get off my soapbox now. Hope everyone has a great day

With management you get a bunch of paper pushers looking for any and every rule and regulation to keep from doing anything.

With leadership you get a bunch of people actually out there helping people and getting the job done.

I think this is why it’s called the Federal Emergency Management Agency!

As someone with a teaching degree, all I can say to that is Mega Dittos!

As someone who also holds a teaching degree, I second that, DB and rooster. Tenured teachers are like politicians- they’re lifetime appointments and it’s hard to get rid of them unless you have enough backing, know the system, or were one of them yourself.

And people wonder why more and more people don’t trust government or its educational arm- the protected public school system.

The culprit is part of the binding agents used in plywood. Formaldehyde is one such agent. The manufactured fousing industry supposidely took setps some 20 years ago to mitigate or eliminate this risk. As I recall, they used plywood free of formaldehyde or sent it through a “de-gassing” process.

If this is indeed an issue today, it sure sounds like someone ripped off the federal government. Using substitute materials or sending plywood through de-gassing increases the expenses in the manufacturing process. So, if you ignore a convention established over 20 years ago, you can increase your profit per unit. It certainly sounds like some mobile home manufacturers cut many a corner to reap the bounty of unchecked federal disaster spending. If true, the culprits should be jailed and their companies liquidated.

In fact, I did get to talk with several Mississippians hit hard by Katrina.

Thank you for your presumptuousness.

Michelle, you’ll have to “forgive” scooter, he only thinks that liberals know how to help or want to help flood victims. I guess he thinks that liberals were the only ones that “picked up a hammer” or sent donations to the Red Cross.

I wonder if he would vilify the likes of Gov. Blanco or Mayor Nagin quite so easily.

Can we saint him in the liberal Hall of Heroes yet?
