Or something like that!
FEMA are the American government agency in charge of emergency relief. As you can imagine, since Katrina happened they've been viewed as a bunch of incompetent idiots appointed through nepotism rather than qualification.
They're now involved in the effort to stop California turning into the largest barbeque in the world, and yesterday they held a press conference. Or did they? What in fact happened is that they gave the world's press 15 minute's notice (thereby guarenteeing no-one'd make it) and used their own staff to masquerade as press and ask questions. There are more details on the Washington Post's website.
Man, I can't help but laugh at this one.
