Best Line of the Day

While I was watching the non-news power outage in LA, the best summary of the Katrina incident was given by a former LAPD Sergeant. When John Gibson mentioned the recent disaster in New Orleans the response was: LA is not New Orleans. The LAPD is not NOPD. We take emergencies seriously, have plans that work and have drills with the fire department, police and sheriff's departments and national guard. When this happened, we went on automatic.

Maybe Blanco and Nagin can stop by LA on their way to the FEMA-paid R&R in Las Vegas and take a few emergency response and incident command notes.
