Strippers and lawyers and champers... oh my!

I just finished reading the story on CNN regarding the Hurricane Katrina fraud. Remember those debit cards they gave out in New Orleans? Well some people used them for strippers, champagne at Hooters, a divorce lawyer, diamonds, Girls Gone Wild videos, and a vacation to the Dominican Republic!!! (Once again, this harkens to Bridezilla Buena's bachelor(ette) party.) The investigators also found that, "FEMA provided $10 million in housing assistance to people who were not displaced, including more than 1,170 inmates in state and federal prisons, and provided rental assistance to people simultaneously living in free hotel rooms."

I know that I saw a lot of people suffering down there and I hate to think of those cheating, lying, bad people having a frat party with the money that could have helped the people who really needed it.

And the sad thing is, people are going to think twice before donating to relief organizations when this is what could happen.

Sad. Sad. Sad.
