Emergency! Emergency! Here, Hand Out These Flyers...

Yeah, it's a busy posting night for me. Sorry for monopolizing y'alls friends' pages.
From an article in the Salt Lake Tribune:
One fire chief from Texas...wonders why the 1,400 firefighters FEMA attracted to Atlanta aren't being put to better use. He also questioned why the U.S. Department of Homeland Security - of which FEMA is a part - has not responded better to the disaster.
"They've got people here who are search-and-rescue certified, paramedics, haz-mat certified," said a Texas firefighter. "We're sitting in here having a sexual-harassment class while there are still [victims] in Louisiana who haven't been contacted yet."
It's a short article, so read it. Most of you will savor the article's last paragraph, I think (although, personally, I think it's a bit of a tangent).
