There will be adults in charge, instead of Kathleen Blanco and Ray Nagin. Nagin is still there, but he'll be instructed on how to manage his city.
Karl Rove was put in charge last time. That's why Blanco isn't there anymore. "Adults" apparently refers to Bush administration operatives, I guess. Their revamp of FEMA was reported to Congress last week. They have some powerpoint slides and no definite plans. Kinda like when that other "Adult", Douglas Feith, was put in charge of the Phase IV operations in Iraq.
And the Louisiana Guard is still in Iraq, where the "Adults" have now been in charge for 5 years. At least if Gustav provokes a sandstorm they'll be ready.
I don't understand how an administration stocked full of 30 somethings with no experience from Liberty University is in any way a situation in which "Adults" are in charge. And sociopaths who torture and start wars on a whim aren't adults regardless of age. They're demented damaged goods, who should be in jail.
