These people are going to be demanding rent aid because of Katrina 10 years from now.

[Perdogg]

This is unbelievable. Why don’t they just give the Super Bowl trophy to the Saints because of Katrina?

[P-40]

without giving them advance written notice of reasons for the action

They should do that yesterday.

[gcruse]

I thought only the legislature, with the executive’s signature, could compel tax spending. Silly me.

[RichInOC]

Judge Berrigan, is “the actual emergency was nearly two years ago” not sufficient cause for FEMA to stop paying aid? And if not, what exactly is?

For extra credit...exactly what part of “emergency” do you not friggin’ understand?

[Nervous Tick]

>> These people are going to be demanding rent aid because of Katrina 10 years from now.

That’s only fair if you ask me. It’s the fault of every taxpayer in America, from Maine to California, because we forced them to live in New Orleans! Getting on with their lives ought to be their responsibility? Nonsense!

(c’mon now, do I really need the tag? Ok, ok. /sarc)

[Farmer Dean]

If you haven’t gotten up off your butt and done something to improve your situation by now,then you’re a hopeless welfare addict.Somebody please find a way to force these drones to become productive!

[NurdlyPeon]

Well, at least it appears that they ARE starting to cut the aid off. This thing with the judge is just typical, expected, left-wing foot dragging.

[Lancey Howard]

Cutting to the chase.... Yes, Berrigan is a corrupt Clinton scumbag:

Berrigan, Helen Ginger
Born 1948 in New Rochelle, NY

Federal Judicial Service:
Judge, U. S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana
Nominated by William J. Clinton on November 18, 1993, to a seat vacated by Patrick E. Carr; Confirmed by the Senate on March 10, 1994, and received commission on March 10, 1994. Served as chief judge, 2001-present.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The rule seems to be there are no rules. Congress *could* in principle pull the plug on this, but no loyal Rat would do it.

[Will_Zurmacht]

I don’t understand it.....Still living off the government tit?
Why not just decalre themselves wards of the state and be done with all adult concerns?

In an interesting counterpoint I just watched a show were the N.O. Vietnamese community rebuilt their neighborhood on their own. Coordinated by their priest. Amazing what people can do when they are used to doing it for themselves...

[festus]

"The defendants appear to treat the plaintiffs and their prospects of homelessness and the despair and stress of such added worries as if it were gnats to be brushed away

Well if they haven't found work and a place to live by now they are gnats. Big gnats to be sure but still gnats.

Can't we get Iraq to take them off our hands as a favor ?

[ApplegateRanch]

I thought FEMA “gave notice” well over a year ago...and several times since.

[RasterMaster]

How about the “judge” shell out the cash from their wallet to support a deadbeat?

[tcrlaf]

It was a Democrat Welfare hellhole BEFORE Katrina, why are we surprised that it’s staying that way?

[kilohertz]

Is this gal a judge, or an absolute monarch? My impression was that the congress had to somehow be involved in ordering the spending of public money ...

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Ten years?

I’d wouldn’t be surprised if we’re hearing about New Orleans grifters still suckling from uncle sams teat 15 or 20 years from now.

How in h*ll do these people take a dump without someone there to wipe their arses for them? It boggles the mind...

[Retired Chemist]

From N.O. public housing to FEMA public housing.

My goodness, those poor folks - it’s been less than three years. They still need their guv’mint teet.
