So, in New Orleans after Katrina, a fisherman's business goes under. The fisherman then displays adaptability and goes into the T-Shirt business, and gives away an anti-FEMA t-shirt. (I guess there's a big market for that message down in NOLA.) And the MBFs at FEMA arrest him. Only in Bush's America! Read on:AP:
George Barisich, president of the United Commercial Fisherman's Association, has been selling anti-FEMA T-shirts since last fall, a reflection of his frustration with the federal government's response to the storm that left him homeless and unemployed.
But on Feb. 1, when he handed a shirt to a fellow Katrina victim as he was picking up canned goods at a charity's relief tent, Barisich found himself in trouble with the government.
He was cited by a group of Homeland Security officials for selling a T-shirt on federal property - in this case, near a FEMA center in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Chalmette, La.
Barisich, 49, says he didn't sell the shirt, which said: "Flooded by Katrina! Forgotten by FEMA! What's Next, Mr. Bush?" He says he gave it away.
The government is sticking to its guns. "If we ignored this violation, you could have potentially 20 to 30 people standing out in front of the (FEMA) center, obstructing things," says Dean Boyd, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesman. "We've got a duty and a job under the law."
Oh, yeah, right. Like Republicans care about obeying the law.
Gee, I wonder if the guy's going to end up on DHS's master watch list for the rest of his life? What do you think?
