Dept. of Homeland Null Pointers

Following W. David Stephenson's advice, I wandered over to the Department of Homeland Security's web site to see how they're failing to update their page during this emergency. It's worse than I thought:

That's quite a pretty thing they have running. I'll have to go and invest in a nuclear bunker and raise my community of clones.Hee Hee. Just to go off on a tangent. Does anyone know what became of that mouse that esacped the lab with some kind of virus in it? Also I received information about a small company about to launch that is supposed to be a mixture of Friendster and eBAY called www.domeafavorbuddy.com Their homepage is still in development but they appear to be running some advertisement campaign based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Anyone know any further details?

When I first saw the qualifications of the two gentlemen who were appointed to head Homeland Security and FEMA, I thought that thank God we are unlikely face a crisis which would put them to the test.

The FEMA head, as well as the Homeland Security chief both need to be retired Army generals with extensive logistics (G4) experience. Army, because it is the largest force, and usually faces the greatest logistics challenges.

When I served my 5 years as an Army Officer, including Vietnam, and as Intelligence Operations Officer of the 4th US Armored Division, I was always extremely impressed by what our logistics people could do under adverse circumstances.
