I’m thankful…

…that I’m not an irrepressible idiot.*

Ousted FEMA director Michael Brown, who was vilified over his handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, plans to make a fresh start in Colorado, selling his expertise about how emergency planning can go right or so very wrong.

"You have to do it with candor. To do it otherwise gives you no credibility," Brown said Wednesday. "I think people are curious: 'My gosh, what was it like? The media just really beat you up. You made mistakes. I don't want to be in that situation. How do I avoid that?'"

I can’t even imagine how he will decide to price his services. Great tips like “Don’t send emails about shopping and dining while in the midst of a crisis where starving people have just lost all of their worldly possessions” are simply priceless.
