Fun with FEMA money!


Your house is destroyed and everything you own is gone. What do you buy first with your federal aid? A tattoo of course!

Audit: Katrina, Rita victims used funds for erotica, guns, liquor

FEBRUARY 14--Some victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita used federal assistance money to pay for "adult erotica," a pistol, strip club fees, and at least one $450 tattoo, according to a new government audit. A Government Accountability Office review of weaknesses in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's distribution of aid describes some of the abuse connected with FEMA's dispensing of $2000 debit cards. While most of the February 13 GAO report addresses the use of multiple social security numbers to secure unwarranted handouts, auditors also examined where some of those funds were expended.

Another fine example of watchdog journalism


Tyra Banks goes 'undercover' as a stripper
By LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer

Tyra Banks really throws herself into her job as a talk-show host, often in ways only a recently retired supermodel can.
On Wednesday's show, for instance, Banks will be shown going "undercover" as a stripper at a topless club, although the former Victoria's Secret model stops short of complete disclosure. In the past, she's posed as a Las Vegas showgirl and used her face as canvas for makeup lessons.
The stripper segment, she said, was the result of hearing friends and viewers express frustration about the men in their lives spending time and money in strip clubs.
"When I found out the majority of business is from males from married homes, I wanted to go inside

the minds of the men who frequent these clubs. I wanted to see and hear why they went. And the only way to do that was to go undercover and see for myself," Banks said.

T-banks wants to "see and hear why" married men go to strip clubs. I think I can answer that for her without going through the trouble of posing as a dancer... they like to look at boobies.

"But noooo. He had to steal money." Read the entire story HERE.
