Somehow, I Think Kanye West Is To Blame For ThisFound on

More than 2,000 Mississippi residents were notified that they must repay millions of dollars in federal Hurricane Katrina benefits that were excessive or, in some cases, fraudulent.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is seeking a total of $4.7 million from 2,044 people, giving them 30 days to repay or set up a payment plan.
Some storm victims got duplicate or extra benefits because of FEMA errors, agency spokesman Eugene Brezany said, and others might have received benefits for expenses that later were reimbursed by insurance settlements.
Some others benefited "by intentional misrepresentation" or the mistaken belief that secondary residences qualified for payments, he said.
That’s just cruel. There has to be better ways for George Bush to show he cares about black people.
Especially since I know for a fact that it’s too late to return those High Definition Flat Screens back to Best Buy.
If you’re smart, loyal readers, you will all start trolling eBay looking to buy electronics off these poor Mississippians at some close out prices. (Yes, I said it –
“MISSISSIPPIANS!”)
I mean, how else are you going to get that money you donated to Katrina Relief back?
By the way, if you any of you gets a FEMA request for repayment, drop me an email.
