"The Federal Emergency Management Agency has issued more than $1.5 billion to 607,000 Katrina victims in the form of individual cash handouts of $2,000. There are no restrictions on how the money can be spent, FEMA officials said."
Double Dang.

If that ain't an aristocratic spree, what is?
It's a little difficult to give the money back when it's already been stuffed in your cleavage, I guess.
Yep, if you took all the money from the rich, gave it to the poor, the rich would have it back in six months. There's a reason why most people are poor.
Give a man a free house and he'll bust out the windows
Put his family on food stamps, now he's a big spender
no food on the table and the bills ain't paid
'Cause he spent it on cigarettes and P.G.A.
They'll turn us all into beggars 'cause they're easier
to please
They're feeding our people that Government Cheese
Give a man a free lunch and he'll figure out a way
To steal more than he can eat 'cause he doesn't have to
pay
Give a woman free kids and you'll find them in the dirt
Learning how to carry on the family line of work
It's the man in the White House, the man under the
steeple
Passing out drugs to the American people
I don't believe in anything, nothing is free
They're feeding our people the Government Cheese
Decline and fall, fall down baby
Decline and fall, said fall way down now
Decline and fall, fall down little mama
Decline and fall, decline and fall
Give a man a free ticket on a dead end ride
And he'll climb in the back even though nobody's driving
Too GD lazy to crawl out of the wreck
And he'll rot there while he waits for the welfare check
Going to hell in a handbag, can't you see
I ain't gonna eat no Government Cheese
bump
Maybe they need to be in detox? A good smack upside the head would work too.
"Gov. Mitt Romney and the Legislature approved a $25 million emergency aid package to feed and house 235 of the evacuees at Camp Edwards."
Ah-scuse me? $25M divided by 235 evacuess = $106,382.97 PER EVACUEE! That's a whole lotta feedin' and housin' goin' on! All kidding aside: Who's getting greased here? Bed linen suppliers? Provisioners? Administrative companies? I'm hoping these NO natives experience the coldest damned winter New England has seen in some time. Heck, even a normal winter ought to make them wish for back home, where you can drink third-rate booze out of a first-rate paper bag year round.
There's a thread at Cape Ann Online which suggests that 7 of the evacuees sent to Otis AFB were sex offenders.

Movin' on up: Will poor black evacuees ever want to leave Frank Stronach's Palm Beach paradise?
Well, they are in Massachusetts. They are just acting like Kennedys.
Future Kennedy voters
Most of the poor are poor in part because they don't have good money management skills.
No problem. Once they run out of money, the government will just give them some more. Je$$e and Al and Looie will make sure they do.
Reminds me of the old joke about the deacon who took off with $3000 of the church's money. They caught him and two church members were discusing the circumstances. One asked the other if they got any of the money back. The other replied, "No," but they did find out he had spent $2000 on wine and women, and then wasted the other $3000.

I'm curious...did they buy strippers at the strip mall?
Just doing what they like to do.
