This can wait

   There are troubling signs of political over-reaction to the I-35W
   bridge failure, perhaps leading to a Special Session that will go far
   beyond this event's needs. Some officials and pundits have angered me,
   and a few others have disappointed me. But it's too soon to comment
   further.
   There are families waiting along the shore, waiting and wondering if
   their missing loved ones are underneath the rubble as seems so likely.
   They deserve an effort that's full ahead on recovery and cleanup by
   all concerned.
   Again, let's take comfort in how low the casualties are turning out to
   be. Let's praise those who did all those drills and were thus able to
   execute so well when the bridge fell. As I heard one voice on the
   radio put it, "FEMA? Yeah, FEMA! Where the hell is FEMA?"
