DO THE FEMA RAP

This is truly mind-boggling. FEMA, aka the most inept-looking agency in the federal government at current, has a sub-section on their website devoted to children, since, we presume, emergency preparation starts early. Buried within the section is this, the "FEMA for Kidz Rap," (notice the use of the signifying "z" instead of an "s").

This could be really funny if not for, you know, the misery of post-Katrina. Seriously, can anyone take these lyrics seriously at this point? Or ever?

Disaster . . . it can happen anywhere,
But we've got a few tips, so you can be prepared
For floods, tornadoes, or even a 'quake,
You've got to be ready - so your heart don't break.
Disaster prep is your responsibility
And mitigation is important to our agency.
People helping people is what we do
And FEMA is there to help see you through
When disaster strikes, we are at our best
But we're ready all the time, 'cause disasters don't rest.
