A guy walks into the local Texas welfare office
for his monthly check. He marches straight up to the counter and says,
"Hi. You know, I just HATE coming in here drawing welfare month after month
since I left New Orleans. I'd really much rather have a job".

The Texas social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent.
We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a
chauffeur-bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive
around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes.
Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. "You'll be expected to escort
her on her overseas holiday trips. You'll have a two-bedroom apartment above the
garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year"

The guy says, "You're bullsh*ttin' me!"

The Texas social worker says, "Yeah, well, you started it."

ummmmm...okaay

Ahh what a cute joke about someone from New Orleans. How about a joke about all those women who i seen in my time who never worked in their lives having babies so tax payers can keep paying for them. 50 yr olds having kids under 10 and you people talk about the pretty azz latinoes and hispanics coming to America.!! At least they work baby with their cute azzes!!

Katrina corporate welfare comes under investigation

Jamie Wilson in Washington
The Guardian

Billions of dollars of reconstruction contracts awarded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina are being investigated amid concerns of cronyism and abuse.

More than 80% of the $1.5bn (£850m) in contracts signed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) were awarded without bidding or with only limited competition, including enormous deals with Kellogg Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton - the former employer of vice-president Dick Cheney - and the Shaw Group. The lobbyist Joe Allbaugh, George Bush's former campaign manager and a former head of Fema, has represented both companies.

Richard Skinner, the inspector general for the department of homeland security, told the New York Times that 60 members of his staff were examining Hurricane Katrina contracts. "We are very apprehensive about what we are seeing," he said. "When you do something like this you do increase the vulnerability for fraud, plain waste, abuse and mismanagement."

Congressman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the most senior Democrat on the house homeland security committee, told the newspaper that Fema and other federal agencies were delivering too much of the work to corporations with political connections instead of local companies. "There is just more of the good old-boy system taking care of its political allies," Mr Thompson said. "Fema and others have put out these contracts in such a haphazard manner, I don't know how they can come up with anything that is accountable to the taxpayer."
