p>Let’s see. The Federal Government passes out debit cards for
$2000 to persons displaced by Katrina and we are (what? shocked,
surprised, indignant?) that some of this money found its way into
the Louis Vuitton store and/or Houston strip clubs? I would have
been shocked if these things
hadn’t
happened. Given the
caliber of the recipients, what did we think they were going to do
with the money? Buy groceries? I wonder how many of those cards
were swapped on the street corner for crack, nose candy, or
smack?

Rather than $250 billion, we should give Louisiana a couple of
trucks full of beads. They seem to want the things, and we would
get flashed for years.
