You might offend some people on the list by using the term "asshole". Next

Michael,

And the horse you rode in on!

I haven't earned  one dime from the 'gubment' off Katrina. Like so many
others of your ilk,  you jump to conclusions about things you know nothing
about. I'll be happy  to drive you around the MS Gulf Coast and show you the
things that we  accomplished and the people we helped - because my brother,
my son, and  myself enjoy doing good deeds with our own money.

What an  Asshole!

Brad
