Thanks FEMA!

To the Editor:

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the folks at FEMA for helping to clean up the sticks and branches that were piled up next to my mailbox. I know it’s been a rough couple of years for those guys, what with Katrina, Brownie, and the like. But they really came through with this stick removal project.

When we are struggling to remember which Federal Agencies get the axe, I hope we all continue to forget FEMA. Because when things get ugly, who needs The Government? Answer: We do.
