Two Heroes

1. Vermilion Parish Sheriff Mike Couvillan

2. Jefferson County Judge Carl Griffith

From what I am reading and seeing on television, these two men are doing an outstanding job in the Rita aftermath. Beaumont’s own, Judge Griffith, was threatening to send the police to physically remove the generators that FEMA had tied up in red tape. Sheriff Courvillan is the one who is being tough on looters. He was on TV again this evening calling for FEMA to cut the red tape.

Speaking of FEMA I could not believe that Brownie has been rehired by FEMA to be a consultant in the what went wrong with Katrina investigation. I am having a hard time deciding if this is worse or equal to Bush’s appointing a veterinarian to head the women’s affairs part of the FDA.
