Exit, stage right

As many of you already know, beleaguered FEMA chief Michael Brown resigned today.  I wish him luck in his future endeavors ("Would you like an apple or cherry pie with that?").  This is probably about as close to accountability (let alone an apology) as anyone is going to get for the spectacularly bungled relief effort in the Gulf.

Applause, by the way, to Shaquille O'Neal and his wife for rolling up their sleeves (literally) to provide first-hand aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. 

Also to Al Gore, who chartered an airlift of 270 Katrina victims out of the danger zone.

But, lest you worry that the tradition of carpetbagging is dead, noted Scientologists John Travolta and Kelly Preston are using the disaster as an opportunity to gain new recruits.

From your link: "According to a press release from The Church of Scientology, the religion’s second-favorite celebrity couple, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, swooped in to Baton Rouge and New Orleans on Travolta’s jet Monday to join the approximately 400-member Scientology Disaster Response Team already in place."

Erm. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! "Scientology Disaster Response Team"? What do they do, make the hurricane watch Battlefield Earth over and over so it goes away?
