I'm sorry, but one more...

The Times-Picayune of New Orleans printed a blistering editorial today, speaking for all of those in New Orleans who suffered because the federal government didn't do enough to save them.

One of the reasons this happened was because Bush decided to put FEMA under the Homeland Security Department, which is focused on protecting us from terrorist attacks. FEMA's budget was cut and, because it was part of a larger agency that had multiple priorities, it wasn't equipped to handle this catastrophe.

Lawmakers are working to fix that colossal mistake.

Rep. John D. Dingell said he will introduce legislation Tuesday that would remove FEMA from the Department of Homeland Security and make it, instead, an independent agency headed by a Cabinet-level executive.

"I can clearly see that FEMA has lost its way," the Democrat from Michigan said in a written statement.

James Lee Witt, a former FEMA director who has been brought in as an advisor by Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco, agreed that the agency "really needs to be put back as an independent agency."

"Since 9/11, FEMA has been basically dissected and taken apart," he told CNN.

I swear, a happy post next time. Really.
