FEMA Watching PBS for Disasters?
March 5, 2008 08:10 AM
This is probably a breach of blog etiquette, but...
Our blog statistics software showed a visitor with an eop.gov tag within the last 24 hours or so. With some help from the ARIN database, one can make a logical guess that the visitor was using a FEMA computer (with "eop" standing for "Executive Office of the President").
What's more, we can tell the eop.gov visitor came to our site through a Google search: "Reading Rockets" and "No Child Left Behind" and Scandal.
I'm pretty sure there haven't been any scandals surrounding Reading Rockets, "a national multimedia project offering information and resources on how young kids learn to read, why so many struggle, and how caring adults can help." Reading Rockets is "an educational initiative of WETA, the flagship public television and radio station in the nation's capital, and is funded by a major grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs."
So, there doesn't seem to be a lot of juicy stuff on Reading Rockets. Maybe, though, the visitor from eop.gov was thinking of that other program with a similar name? There was some scandal surrounding a program known as Reading First.
Heckuva job tracking down that Reading First information, FEMA.
