There are times I think I'm too cynical..

... then something shows me I'm not nearly cynical enough.

The (former) head of FEMA's e-mails (or most of them) have been released. Also here's an analysis of them. Read it and weep. Or rage. (Bloomberg

Edit: Seemingly both PDF files have disappeared from the congressman's website. CNN has mirrors both of the e-mails and the analysis. I wonder if someone's trying to censor teh intarweb (and I've saved copies).

Edit 2: *Weird* things are happening with http://melancon.house.gov - first I got a 404 error message, then I got a message saying "No web site is configured at this address.". then I got into his personal website- I then refreshed it to get back to the "No web site is configured at this address." (The PDFs vary between 404 and "No website is configured at this address."). When I try using a wrong subdomain in *.house.gov I just get an error message. Also, melancon.house.gov no longer shows up in a search of the house of representatives website, but is in the Google Cache.

Edit 3: Due to the popularity of the Email contents, our website is experiencing technical difficulties. Please be patient while we try to resolve these issues is the current error message. I hope I'm worrying about nothing.

Edit 4: The melancon website is down again but the search result is back. I think it's just computers doing daft computery things. Nothing to see in these edits...
