OK, seriously, WTH is up with FEMA? Does anyone have any clue what is going on?!?!?!

Snipet found below...

Gov. Rick Perry had said Sunday that Texas needs other states to help manage the refugee crisis. Officials at Texas relief centers say they are simply running out of room.

An airlift to other states had been expected to begin under the direction of the Texas National Guard.

However, the Federal Emergency Management Agency took over the operation on Sunday and planes never took off.

It was unclear when any flights might actually leave and there was no explanation for the delay. There was no immediate response Tuesday morning to a call seeking comment from FEMA's Public Affairs Office in Washington.

FEMA spokesman Dean Cushman said Monday: "We are not coordinating it as of right now."

What, did they take off for Labor Day or something?!?!
