Surprise!

[samadams2000]

Argghghhh!!!!

[Gaffer]

The smartest thing to do when those 'evacuees' boarded that ship would have been to sail it to Cuba ala ' American Mariel ' style......Criminals nearly all....

[manwiththehands]

... some lawmakers expressing concern that the government paid too much.

Duh, ya' think?!

[American Quilter]

I'll bet Carnival's sorry they ever decided to house evacuees. Have any of the (taxpayer-funded) "guests" gotten off the ship and started making new lives for themselves?

[chicagopolish]

Any Kathy Lee sightings?

[FerdieMurphy]

If only we could give these miscreants away.

According to the FBI, which tracks arrest rates from data collected by local law enforcement agencies, Alabama had an average of 4.3 arrests per 1,000 people a month in 2004. Mississippi, meanwhile, averaged about 6.3 arrests per 1,000 people per month last year.

The number of arrests on board the Holiday for the past month computes to about 19 per 1,000 people, based on a ship occupancy of 1,400.

And the demographics and originating Zip Codes for these Holiday "guests" are ..... ?

[Mears]

I'm shocked---shocked to hear this !!!!!!!!

I'll bet Carnival's sorry they ever decided to house evacuees.

Are you kidding me? For $200,000,000.00, they are laughing all the way to the bank! Now the ship's workers, that's a different story.

Just the Democratic base being the Democratic base.

[Bahbah]

What did we say.

[BenLurkin]

So about three calls every day.

Maybe they should just a deputy there full time.

Heck , there's one at my son's High School full time every day.

[ncountylee]

Lock down the ship and do a complete search. Weapons and drugs would be raining out the portholes.

[jonascord]

What is it going to cost the taxpayers to repair the living areas of the ship after the "evacuees" get thru trashing it?

[proudofthesouth]

It wouldn't surprise me in the least that when the last of the evacuees leave, the ship will have to be completely refurbished.

Neal Boortz wa sright on when he said,"The ticks are just jumping off a wet dog onto a dry dog."

They can take the crime out of the city, but not out of the crooks. Where did they get all the cocaine and why were they serving them hard liquor. Red Cross/Fema Cards. We hard working citizens need a financial break from Katrina . What a waste of our taxpayor dollars

...that's what happens when you run out of crab legs at the midnight buffet...
