oversight

on 9.8.05 i mentioned here that mr. brown might have been a bit underqualified for his position with FEMA.

1. this is now the headline.

2. i don't see this as his fault...i mean, if you are told you are qualified, do you really give up a job as a part of the white house administration? do you tell the president, "no, i'm not qualified?" i hope that YOU do, but apparently most don't...and they might exaggerate to get there, "assistant to the assistant city manager with emergency services oversight." oh, but who hasn't exaggerated on their resume? isn't it the interviewer's (FBI's) job to check that out?!?!?

3. after 9-11 did we not realize this was an important position?

i don't say this to take any of this lightly, i am devastated and pray that we all pay more attention to these roles that didn't mean as much to us ten years ago...friends, it's time to pay attention.
