Based on my own family and friends who were victimized by Katrina it's the drugs talking. If you don't believe me, ask Trent Lott.
Or multiply 300,000 times $240,000 and ask yourself how.
What Rush is saying, if I may, is that the government is spending this much. He quips why not more or less just write the people a check.
His comment today on "the price of tatoos" about put me in a ditch.
I want mine! I told FEMA I was ok and didnt need any! If I had known it was 240K each well.... In fact FEMA called me 6 times asking if I was sure I didnt need any money! Damn me for the fool I am! I like Rush, but lets just say sometimes he doesnt let anything like the whole story get in the way of a good joke.
Fortunately the company I worked for there was very good and kept paying us as if we were at work the whole time and it was a national company!
