The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports today that three Federal Emergency Mismanagement Agency contractors were arrested for looting in Plaquemines Parish as reported here.

The contractors were allowed to take food and drink from a Family Dollar Store, but they decided to take toys and clothing and loaded the cab of their truck.

    Skippy found a South Florida Sun-Sentinel story about the criminal backgrounds of FEMA inspectors in that state (all subcontractors). Evidently this isn't new.

    The graft-o-rama the Republicans are planning with the supposed NOLA clean-up funds are going to make these guys seem positively dainty.

    Does it matter if these guys are white or black? Things are portrayed around here in white or black so I'm wondering if it matters? Doesn't matter eh? Good. LASHARON...... And lets cut the crap, because if it was a woman named Latoya you'd think she was black wouldn't ya? Black guys, tried to get over. Fifteen years is WAY too much for what they did but the moral of the story is..... THE HEN NEVER CACKLES TIL THE EGGS ARE HATCHED- A. LINCOLN My hero.

    LWW- I'll likely regret asking this, but is their an actual point your trying to make in all that muddled mess of a post above? Or are you just trolling as usual? Situation Normal, All FEMA'd Up.
