FEMA Costume

I went to a neighborhood halloween party last night. All of the kids were in costume, but only a few of the adults were, which may have added to my confusion when I noticed a man wearing a polo with FEMA embroidered on it with some sort of seal embroidered also. He wasn't very talkative, so I didn't overhear any discussion of his "costume" decision, so I avoided asking him about it until he was getting ready to leave. He had a small cart filled with chairs and an ice chest, so I made my move:
"Working on your evacuation?"
"Uh, no. I just live on the other side of the lake."

What the hell does that mean? Was he playing the character completely? Was he an actual FEMA employee?

FOX and MLB should be ashamed.

MLB and Fox have used October to show how stupid they both are. #1, the preview for the first game of the series had the production quality of Woody Asaf's Santa Radar. Whatever happened to quotes from Giamatti while historic images and higlights of the year played? Maybe they had some incredibly impressive intro of the Yankees and Cardinals ready to go - stupid idiots. #2, why would anyone think that a cartoon of baseball would be of any interest to anyone who can stay up late enough to watch these games (I slipped #3 in there also). I'd love to wake my children to watch the animated ball explain that a change-up is a slowly thrown pitch (eloquent!), but I am afraid of the multiple dead bodies and previews for gore and murder that the commercials will expose them to.

Idiots.

Also, is it ironic that Liz Phair (self proclaimed blowjob queen) would sing God Bless America the first night, and then a guy playing trumpet would play the next night? Who's next, Monical Lewinsky? I guess the sucking and blowing theme is part of the FOX/MLB synergy (I'll rant about the term "synergy" later.)
