Madame Polisztra channels Skeletor
Madame Polisztra seems to have a channel to FEMA, whether she likes it or not. (Note this entry, two weeks before Katrina.)
Four days ago: "I haven't been in touch with the whole subject for many years, so I presume the ARRL still exists but is no longer allowed to interfere with FEMA's all-encompassing and all-destroying incompetence."
Today we hear that FEMA is going to crack down on "unofficial" helpers in disasters, which would presumably include radio amateurs (with their long-tested and well-organized methods of off-grid disaster communication) as well as the Christian charities that have proven to be vastly more effective than FEMA in every possible way.
Yes sir, can't have competence interfering with the government's goals! ¶ 12:48 PM
