He'll have a place to stay now,
Three hots and a cot.

KINGSTON, Mass. - A Louisiana man displaced by Hurricane Katrina has been given 30 days to vacate the town-owned property he has been living in rent free for six months after he was arrested twice in one day.
Seantomas Shaw, 39, was arrested early Monday and charged with marked lane violations and driving without a license. He was arrested again Monday night and charged with driving without a license and other charges, including forging a Registry of Motor Vehicles document.
Shaw was sentenced in Plymouth District Court on Tuesday to three months in jail, suspended for one year, on the forgery charge. Other charges were either continued or dismissed.
He received a letter Monday notifying him he had 30 days to vacate the town property.
Police said Shaw stole a license plate from another car and put it on his car. His driver's license was suspended in Florida and his South Carolina driver's license had been altered, police said.
Shaw had outstanding warrants in Georgia for larceny, and in Florida for a probation violation. He also had outstanding warrants in California, police said.
When police ran Shaw's fingerprints through a national crime database they discovered he had 12 aliases, many of which were variations on his real name.
Shaw apologized to Kingston citizens, but said there was great misunderstanding about his past. He told the Patriot Ledger of Quincy that he had never been to Georgia and did not know what the Florida warrant pertained to.
Shaw said he had many aliases because his name is often misspelled.
Town select board Chairman Paul Gallagher said the house was subsidized by a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant and the subsidy was coming to an end. The house was only offered as a temporary arrangement until Shaw got back on his feet, he said.
Gallagher said a criminal background check was done on Shaw.
Shaw said he has lost his job as a chef at the Pilgrim nuclear power plant.
"I'm right back where I started after the hurricane," he said.
"Shaw said he has lost his job as a chef at the Pilgrim nuclear power plant."
I first read that as chief, then realized it said chef. Why does a nuclear power plant need a chef? I had not heard of any NPPs closing down so I assume they still need some one to cook the meals. So I suspect his job loss was not hurricane related.
Ah yes, another one of New Orleans' fine upstanding citizens...
So much for drivers license identification. I wonder if this well traveled crook voted using all of his "residences?"
You got me, you caught the Tator.
But if you knew Morse Code, you would've known that already.
Goodwill Ambassador of New Orleans! Give it up!
He should be taken to the public square and whipped about 200 times.
There go another dozen Democrat votes down the drain.
There's "great misunderstanding about his past"? Yeah I bet; the public was unaware of how much of a jerk this guy really is - larceny, theft, forgery. How about growing up, getting over yourself and becoming responsible? Good grief!
Cafeteria - 300 to 800 wokers per shift. Contract workers for outages - several hundred to over a thousand more from time to time. They don't all brown bag it.
"I'm right back where I started after the hurricane," he said.
I beg to differ.
This loser is right back where he was BEFORE the hurricane. He was a criminal BEFORE the hurricane, and he is a criminal AFTER the hurricane. The hurricane has nothing to do with his problems.
Why single him out. He's probably better behaved than a substantial fraction of his fellow evacuees.
Don't fall for another of this guy's whoppers. He's no chef. At most, he's a lousy cook.
What makes you think they'll stop counting his votes?
A fry cook by any another name is still a fry cook.
A fry cook from New Orleans is a chef anywhere else.
(We just don't know if he's really from NOLA.)
Doh!
Too funny..I mean..sounds reasonable to me..we should all chip in and help him out..out of the country that is..
