Heck of a job!

Today is the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the news was full of stories marking the date.

My favorite story? The Washington Post ran a piece that said former FEMA head Michael "Brownie" Brown is now making a living as a "disaster preparedness consultant."

What?!

OK, let's see, he completely botched the federal response to Katrina. It took him days to figure out that something went wrong and people were suffering. He was unaware of the folks trapped at the Superdome and the Convention Center, despite the fact both things were reported extensively on CNN. His main qualification for the job to begin with was that he was a college roommate of the former FEMA head and had run horse shows, poorly.

And now, people pay him for his advice on how to prepare for a disaster?

As boxing impresario Don King would say, "Only in America."
