FEMA, W.H. send storm victims to Internet

Seriously? These people are without power, phone service or internet, and they're supposed to look up a website? What a bunch of idiots we have in charge!

From the article:

A call to FEMA’s news desk, however, found even they didn’t have any non-Internet information readily available beyond suggestions that people call 911 in an emergency. When asked where folks should turn for information if they have no power, a FEMA worker said, “Well, those people who have a laptop with a little battery life on it can try that way. Otherwise, you’re right.”

Good lord. The federal government at its best. God help you people in the NorthEast.

They have no power, BigLoser. Did you even read the article? It's ridiculous.

Oh, and I'm sorry for asking you for a solution since you do nothing but snipe from the cheap seats....what would be your suggestion since the folks that need help have no electricity, no phones, no nothing....We've got 8,000,000 people without power. Should Obama parachute in individual representatives for each one?

Talk solutions asshole, not just your cheap criticisms.

Next topic?

With all those without power, the internet is the best solution. What a bunch of morons.

Maybe they just need a few more community organizers.

Did you miss this part of the article?

None of the major cable or local news channels put emergency phone numbers or key radio station frequencies on their screens. The only phone-related instructions on the homepage of ready.gov is how to get monthly disaster-prep text messages. The Federal Emergency Management Agency told the public via Twitter to use texts and social media outlets to stay informed.

Maybe, just maybe, they could refer them to local radio? At least one person on the block should have a working radio, but they don't even refer them there. Churches? Community centers? No. Check the fucking website with your laptop you can't start. That's government help.

Lets see... Maybe you guys would rather they drown...

I have a lot of friends up there who didn't lost cellphone reception, water or power... In Jersey.


I suppose you're rooting for looting!

Anti-American assholes!

What would be your solution? NOT have a website? Door to door wading?

You fuckers are as stupid as your are, er, stupid.

Perhaps they could import some from South Chicago, since that's not where the current crisis exists.

Oh, wait...sorry, there is sort of an out-of-control crime wave going on there. Better leave their community organizers in place, since they're so good at maintaining order and combating violent criminals. Never mind!
