Pacific Views is reporting that Michael Brown, despite having theoretically resigned shortly after the Katrina disaster, is still being paid (presumably at the same rate of $148,000 per month) to be a "consultant" for FEMA. Even assuming he goes unemployed for a year after this, this still constitutes a pay raise. Although the exact numbers for this month are unavailable, if he is making as much as for last month, he will have made almost as much in the last two months as he did during his entire tenure at FEMA.

Correction: the figure is apparently $148,000 per year, and he's being kept on month after month at that rate. This still isn't a bad deal for him at all.
