FEMA to continue trailer distribution in Ark., Tenn.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Thursday it will distribute mobile homes to victims of last week's tornadoes in Arkansas and Tennessee, despite a health warning about high formaldehyde levels in other trailers, officials said Thursday.
Those poor victims ought to be grateful for any help. Who cares if the help is toxic?
If they were good Americans they would have had adequate insurance. ... and besides, isn't the Red Cross the official U.S. disaster relief agency,... I mean, why should FEMA be expected to help?
... and anyway, long-term health issues are just part of the radical left-wing reality-based community's attempt to impugn W's competency. If they hate America so much, maybe they should move to Canada!
Stop the madness!
