Do Strip Clubs Offer Special Relief?

Baby Doll Not the kind FEMA is talking about.

WorldNetDaily reports: “On the heels of a report earlier this week that Atlanta area Katrina victims were using $2,000 debit cards to purchase luxury items like Louis Vuitton handbags, Houston police yesterday discovered the cards, provided by FEMA and the Red Cross, being used at local strip clubs.”

“According to a report by KPRC, Channel 2, in Houston, a manager at Caligula XXI Gentlemen’s Club said he has seen at least one debit card used at his club. A bartender at Baby Dolls, identified only as “Abby,” said she has seen many of the cards used at her establishment.
. . .
“You lost your whole house, then, why not?” she said.

Why not? Because, Baby Doll, it’s taxpayers’ money being provided to “victims” of Katrina under the charitable auspices of “relief” — not squander.

The fact that this perspective is so foreign underscores the folly of being too generous with federal handouts.

Handing out cash doesn’t help get homeless people off the streets, why should it work with refugees?

I bet a special one-time currency, good for the exchange in goods and services, and backed by the dollar, would let people who want to honestly reconstruct their homes do so.

if we would have just bought all of them a $2000 clunker in the first place, we wouldn’t be getting so much heat for letting them rot in their projects. but, it’s great that we’re getting these telling stories about how they’re spending our taxes. next time, we won’t bother spending the money on helicopter fuel to save them. let them swim. they asked for it.

steven pilaff,

What are you talking about? A $2000 clunker? “[T]hey asked for it”?!

You sound like a real jerk. Aren’t we supposed to be a nation that looks out for our its own citizens? When disaster strikes your neck of the woods, I hope you have someone just as sympathetic as you are “help” you by suggesting you buy yourself a “clunker” to get out of town in.

If notified of an oncoming major natural disaster, we’d either drive, get on a bus, ride a bike, or even just start walking. It’s called escaping from danger.

Not doing anything responsible and just waiting for someone else isn’t an appropriate response, either.

When one is not able bodied, of a sound mind, etc. what is the “responsible” thing to do? Die? After all the patriotic bloviating on this site, I’d think you’d show a little spine and admit that “unity” is more than empty rhetoric.

The idea to hand out cash sounds like a bad one (since people will inevitably buy strip teases, etc. with it), but the idea to get people to “buy a clunker” is total bull. There was obviously an extreme shortage of SOMETHING that kept people stuck in New Orleans during such a terrible disaster. I doubt “responsibility” had too much to do with it.

[...] Never had a doubt. “Erotic dancers and strippers are entertaining crowds of police, firefighters and military personnel instead of the usual audiences of drunken conventioneers and tourists in Bourbon Street’s Deja Vu club, which reopened this week.” Hopefully, they’re accepting cash only. No debit cards. [...]

[...] Why does this sound like old news? Herald reporters witnessed blatant public drinking at a Falmouth strip mall by Katrina victims living at taxpayer expense at Camp Edwards on Otis Air Force Base. And strippers at Zachary’s nightclub in Mashpee, a few miles from the Bourne base, report giving lap dances to several evacuees. [...]
