My Unequivocal Hero of the Week Is (Drumroll Please) ...

Marty Bahamonde, the ONLY FEMA guy in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina. Marty wins on the basis of this comment to/about Michael Brown's staff when told of the concern to make sure Mr. Brown had more time than 20-30 minutes for dinner before appearing on television:

"Just tell her I just ate an MRE (military ration) and crapped in the hallway of the Superdome with 30,000 other close friends, so I understand her concern about busy restaurants. Maybe tonight I will have time to move the pebbles on the parking garage floor so they don't stab me in the back while I try to sleep, but instead I will hope her wait at Ruth Christ is short."

HA! Marty, baby, you ARE my hero!

For now...
