FEMA Out of Water, No Delivery Until Monday
Breitbart ^ | Nov 3, 2012 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 11/03/2012 11:03:16 AM PDT by blueyon

FEMA's vaunted "lean forward" strategy that called for advanced staging of supplies for emergency distribution failed to live up to its billing in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

In fact, the agency appears to have been completely unprepared to distribute bottled water to Hurricane Sandy victims when the storm hit this Monday. In contrast to its stated policy, FEMA failed to have any meaningful supplies of bottled water -- or any other supplies, for that matter -- stored in nearby facilities as it had proclaimed it would on its website. This was the case despite several days advance warning of the impending storm.

Can't boil this stuff; it's not just bacteria but crap like gasoline is mixed in it.

The Kenyan must go.

“Ms. Wright was unable to say when or how the water would be delivered from the distribution center to needy Hurricane Sandy victims in New Jersey, Staten Island, Long Island, and other boroughs of New York City. Vendors “are currently being evaluated,” she said, and when the vendors are announced, they will provide information on how local distribution will occur.”

“vendors are being evaluated”

Is this code for "vendors who pay the biggest bribe"?

We’ve kind of flown under the radar for a while and had a tie line from Houston which required a voice response in order to be transferred to the new number. Discontinued the tie-line in order to reduce expenses but now the new (old) second number is listed in the local business pages and we’re showing up on the internet. Suddenly getting all sorts of what may very well be robocalls. Go figure!

That's four gallons per person; time isn't in the equation. That four may have to last you three hours of three weeks. Did you mean that a person can only use a gallon a day?

The Kenyan must go.

I saw/heard Christie every time he fell all over Hussein on TV that day. I could not believe my ears - he just kept on and kept on praising Hussein like they were twin brothers. He could have thanked him, fine, but he kept gushing and gushing.

I heard someone on CNN later say Christie has figured out Romney isn't going to win so he's making friends with Hussein. I have no idea, but I do know he was way too friendly with Hussein based on his past speeches, etc..

I hear liberals don’t drink water or shower on weekends.

Typically, when planning your basic needs for water - personal hydration and spot hygiene, you work with a gallon per person per day.

That turned out not to be the case in my extended howling wilderness experience. More like 5 gallons a day. I suppose for 3 days, it might work, but not for much longer. Not if you are cooking and cleaning.

There’s probably a water vendor union and a few protection rackets to navigate. First things first, you know.
