    Small world. The Times and the Post note that one possible reason for the White House's slow response to Katrina was that so many key appointees were on vacation. A number, for instance, were in Greece for the wedding of White House communications advisor Nicolle Devenish.

    It so happens Devenish is marrying Mark Wallace, who, it turns out, took over from the esteemed Michael Brown as General Counsel of FEMA when Brown ascended from General Counsel to Deputy Director.

    Wallace was General Counsel at FEMA as the agency was being transitioned into the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 and 2003. After that he took a different job at DHS before becoming Deputy Campaign Manager of the Bush-Cheney 2004.

    According to The Hotline (10/16/03), Wallace got his start in politics as Jeb Bush's driver in 1994.

    I hope he at least passed the bar.

    Taking vacations in the summertime. Imagine that.

    As for Wallace, according to the internets he passed the Florida bar in 1992, the same year he graduated from law school.

    Any more routine items that we should regard as being sinister?
