"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
Josh Marshall reports that disgraced FEMA head Michael Brown has plans to go into the emergency management consultancy racket.
Actually, from the quote it seems that Brown's actual angle may be providing not generic emergency response consulting services but rather consulting services to incompetents who've been saddled with emergency preparedness responsibility and fear becoming national laughing stocks when they turn mid-size disasters in to full-on catastrophes through gross mismanagement.
Back on 9/13, while musing on "Brown's Future," I warned of this very possibility.
He could have a come-to-Jesus moment in which he sees the error of his ways and becomes a motivational speaker for those afraid of making catastrophic errors. Assuming neither he nor his audience has any self-respect, that is.
That's pretty dead-on, except I don't think Jesus had anything to do with it.
Just the latest installment of that eerie prescience that keeps you coming back to A Level Gaze again and again. posted by David at 11/24/2005 11:44:00 PM ::
