Hello, FEMA?

George Bush calling here...

I see where the loudmouthed New Orleans Mayor Nagin and the new FEMA director "Admiral Green Jeans" (I'm too lazy to Google his name) are having a bit of a spat over the Mayor's idea of bringing a couple hundred thousand "non-refugees" back into the city this week.

Imagine that?

I'm also looking at the predicted path of soon to be Hurricane Rita and asking myself if and when FEMA personnel should apply an entire roll of duct tape to the Mayor's head and mouth.

Just imagine if the good Mayor gets a big crowd to come back home in the next few days and this storm crosses the Florida Keys and decides to turn north so as to go rinse all of the mud that Katrina dumped in downtown New Orleans off the streets and into the storm sewers.

I think that President Bush should have all of the local officials bound and gagged, or arrested, then he should declare martial law along the ENTIRE Gulf coast of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas as soon as the storm is in the Gulf of Mexico. Two thousand miles of vacant hotels, tee-shirt shops, and water parks and restaurants should put a nice post Labor Day dent in a few more local economies--sorta spread the misery around.

Imagine the yelling, screaming, and general gnashing of teeth as the pundits, activitists, politicians, and most of all--the media--play the second guessing, arm chair quarterback game.

I say it'd serves them all right if he did.
