Not OK to be Non-PC

Perhaps the more stories we hear about the rediculous application of "Political Correctness" in a time of dire emergency may begin to help tip the balance back the other way. Surely we cannot survive being any more PC than we already are.

One of the most asinine revelations in the aftermath of Katrina is the story of professional firefighters volunteering their services to FEMA and being made to undergo the (apparently) standard battery of post-hire seminars reqired in normal times before NOT being allowed to do the job they normally do -- save people. "Lundy and Calhoun's first task was an eight-hour course on sexual harassment and equal opportunity employment procedures..." It's sheer idiotic bureaucratic BS.

We owe a sarcastic "thank you" to the wacko left in this country, and the spineless twits in Congress whom they've pressured into coming up with laws that require such pap in the first place. Then again you'd think FEMA would at least be able to understand the difference between permanent employment and voluntary help in a crisis. They ought to fire the idiots who thought of this step in the process. Sounds just like the TSA's not being able to "profile". Wow, I hope you feel safer in the case of disaster or if you are going to fly. I sure don't.
