[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't hire a babysitter just for their skill in taking my kid to a museum downtown and back. I hire a babysitter who can handle any contingency, such as a national emergency, which is always a possibility in the nation's capital.[/quote]

Geez, if worrying about people armed with guns wasn't enough, now we need babysitters and Nannies who can handle national emergencies?

How do you interview for a babysitter who can handle national emergencies?    OMG there's even a study guide!   Are You Ready?  An In-depth Guide to Citizen Preparedness   And an exam you can sit.   http://www.fema.gov/pdf/areyouready/areyouready_full.pdf
