TIME Magazine -- How The Coast Guard Gets It Right
I ate up this article, from start to finish, every paragraph. Here's a teaser:
"In Katrina's aftermath, the Coast Guard rescued or evacuated more than 33,500 people, six times as many as it saved in all of 2004. The Coast Guard was saving lives before any other federal agency--despite the fact that almost half the local Coast Guard personnel lost their own homes in the hurricane."

"So last week, when two representatives from the U.S. Government Accountability Office came to ask how he would fix the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), he had his answer ready: 'I would abolish it,' he told them. 'I'd blow up FEMA and ask the Coast Guard what it needs.'
F FEMA, who needs 'em?
