Officials and experts praising FEMA for its response to Hurricane Sandy

Following Hurricane Katrina seven years ago, FEMA became a national punching bag, ridiculed for its slow and cumbersome response to the disaster along the Gulf Coast. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy this week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its administrator W. Craig Fugate are garnering more positive reviews from public officials in northeastern states hit by the superstorm, as well as from disaster-management experts.

  • Even Newsmax Gets That Anti-trans Bathroom Complaints Are Garbage
    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 11/24/2024 - 10:00 AM

    Newsmax hosts Shaun Kraisman and Emma Rechenberg interviewed Rep. Erin Houchen about Rep. Nancy Mace's disgraceful bathroom bill and by the end of it, made her look foolish. This is uncommon for Newsmax, but go with it. KRAISMAN: Just talk about the controversy that this has received, because maybe some members want to stay silent.

    On this day in 1950 Frank Loesser's musical "Guys & Dolls", starring Robert Alda, Vivian Blaine, and Sam Levene, opens at 46th St Theater, NYC. So today, my favorite song from the musical, "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat", which Stubby Kaye knocked clear out of the park.

  • The Donald Suggests To Elmo Musky That He Should Buy MSNBC
    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 11/24/2024 - 09:00 AM

    Elon Musk is joking/not joking with El Cheato about buying MSNBC. Sure, why not? Via The Daily Mail: The blood in the water at MSNBC set Donald Trump Jr's tongue wagging on Friday. He joked on X: 'Hey Elon Musk I have the funniest idea ever!' He was responding to a post that incorrectly claimed the network is already for sale. Musk, who launched a hostile takeover for Twitter and won, took the bait. 'How much?' he replied in his own post. While the pair may have been joking, this was the same question he asked in 2017 when a Twitter user urged him to buy the site. What he and the Mango Man want more than anything is a hysterical reaction from the public at the very thought!

    Or we could suppose that one got a pardon and the other one got elected by the slimmest popular vote margin since the 1800s. Matt Gaetz may be gone, but I'm sure he won't soon be forgotten. Meanwhile the Parade of Horribles marches on. An AG who takes bribes, a sexual assaulting SecDef, a DNI who is a Russian asset, and more. Happy Sunday before Thanksgiving!
