Wait a minute, back that pony up...

Is it me, or is it an unbelievably unnecessary cost to put up refugees on cruise ships? It seems to me that the folks at FEMA are trying to save their butts after Mayor Nagin and President Bush rebuked their response. It also seems that they are trying to remind us and everyone else that 'we are still Americans,' by showing that even refugees in our country live well.
