More proof that Bush should have delivered the correct speech last night.

You’re just being mean.  Leave those poor folk alone, or you’ll get negative TV coverage, Mister.  And you don’t want that!

More proof that perhaps Reps. Joe Barton, Jeff Flake, Virginia Foxx, Scott Garrett, John Hostettler, Steve King, Butch Otter, Ron Paul, James Sensenbrenner, Tom Tancredo, and Lynn Westmoreland might have been onto something.

....the Reps who voted against the federal aid for Katrina victims, Brandon?

Yeah, you’re right.

Absolutely, Brandon. It took some guts to vote against that.

Dave,

Do you know why they voted against it?

Because of the lack of accountability in the bill to determine where the money was going to be spent and how it was going to be spent.

$9 Billion goes missing in Iraq, and you’re complaining about a few lap dances?

Dead on, Dave!

I commented on the missing $9 billion...when it happened.  I didn’t know I was required to mention a Bush boondoggle in conjunction with every story.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

modern instances said, $9 Billion goes missing in Iraq, and you’re complaining about a few lap dances?

I’m sorry, but what does your comment have to do with the story?

A little off topic, but the site’s looking sharp Rob. I like what you’ve done with the comments look and feel.

Oh, and you’re right on with the accountability issue. Noone is holding these poor people down, they’re holding themselves down.

Who said you have to go to a donut shop to find a cop.

On the first day, the police found the cards being used to buy beer while ogling exotic dancers.

Crack police work.

Not sure if you’re just confused Woof, but the police weren’t the ones involved in the use of the cards, they “found the cards being used” by other people.

On the first day, the police found the cards being used to buy beer while ogling exotic dancers.

What a poorly written sentence! It DOES say that the police were ogling exotic dancers!!!

I think Woof IS kidding, but it’s easy to see how you could be confused, since the sentence is incoherent. If you want to kill some time, try diagramming it. Then you’ll see.

The problem with people nowadays is they don’t give a rats ass about authority or living expenses of hard working people like myself.  We need help during a crisis but to use up sources or even abusing the system isn’t politically correct at all.  I see so called homeless people that say “ I’m from Louisiana and I need help please give anything you can and than use their debit cards to buy booze or whatever they want because in their minds that all of us are subjected to give something to them as long it benefits them and their needs”.  How much more can we take this crap from people that are able to work even if it doesn’t pay top notch. The principle is that no matter what you have is what you can do with it.

[...] I have a burberry coat and no closet to hang it in The blogging world and media is full of horror stories of abuse of FEMA cards. People are buying home sound systems, Louis Vuitton purses, lap dances at strip clubs(relying on a story from the totally unreliable worldnetdaily) with their FEMA cards or at least that is what the rumors are. Of course no one cares about the abuse of millions of dollars of Iraqi reconstruction money. Why does it bother people when a few poor or possibly black people are rumored to have spent their two thousand on frivolous or luxury items when corporations like Halliburton are gouging taxpayers to the tune of millions? I don’t even believe these rumors. I am sure there are isolated incidents, but I imagine most of these stories are just racist fables in the same vein of Reagan’s Welfare Cadillac Queen [...]
