    Default Brownie still doesn't get it...

    http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/24/bro....ap/index.html

    Mike Brown "is starting a disaster preparedness consulting firm to help clients avoid the sort of errors that cost him his job." First bit of advice to the client: don't hire someone like Mike Brown.

    Seriously, if your company hires someone like this, isn't it a clear sign that they have no idea how to pick a winner, or respond to anything?

    "Brown said officials need to 'take inventory' of what's going on in a disaster to be able to answer questions to avoid appearing unaware of how serious a situation is."

    And that's why he has no business in the field. He is concerned about APPEARANCE, not performing the actual function. Anyone who uses his service would be on my short list for firing, because they obviously don't understand their purpose, nor how to select advisors.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Just wait - the Governors of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida will be saying what a great thing this consulting firm will be.


    Edit:

    When they vote the Mayor of New Orleans and Governor of LA out of their jobs - I wonder if they will be working for Brown.

    I almost fell from my chair when I saw the headline on Yahoo! news.

    "Ex-FEMA Head Starts Disaster Planning Firm"

    Does that sound like someone consulting on how to avoid disasters?
    If you're fighting fair you've made a miscalculation.

    Okay, I'm laughjing my arse off.

    Although I think you might be giving him too much credit. Are you sure he can do long division?
