Here's the scary part
You really should read this story in British:
The embattled director of the Federal Emergency Management agency (Fema) has lost his frontline job overseeing the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, according to reports tonight.
The Associated Press (AP) said it had learnt that Michael Brown was being sent back to Washington from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where the aid effort is being coordinated.
...Time magazine claimed the official biography of Mr Brown - which stated that he had worked as an "assistant city manager with emergency services oversight" in the Edmond, Oklahoma - exaggerated his record.
Officials said he had been an assistant to the city manager, not assistant city manager. "The assistant is more like an intern," Time was told.
I'll not be the first to note that Gareth Kennan had the same problem with titles. However, let me be the first to note that Gareth, this guy:
would've done a hell of a lot better job than Brownie.
