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.

The Houston Police Department just formed a task force to investigate the abuse of the cards, which were distributed to thousands of Katrina hurricane victims to provide for necessities, such as food, clothing and toiletries. On the first day, the police found the cards being used to buy beer while ogling exotic dancers.

I just can't get enough about these cards getting abused.

Yeah, I cringed when I heard we were just going to GIVE people money to spend any way they want. For those not keeping score on the FEMA cards, that means YOUR tax money was used to subsidize this.

Can you think of a better way to forget that your entire life, house , and belongings have disappeared than one lap dance at a time? ;-)
