June 15, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - A Houston hairdresser with a long rap sheet conned the feds into paying for his sex-change operation with Hurricane Katrina aid, it was revealed yesterday.

In a shocking example of mismanagement and fraud in the widening FEMA fiasco, Michael James Green, 25, was charged with bilking the feds out of $36,000 meant for destitute hurricane victims. He claimed to have lived in 18 damaged addresses and used 18 different Social Security numbers, federal prosecutors said.

But Green wasn't using the money for food and shelter: He used it to pay for a sex-change operation, sources said.

It was a misleading headline. I thought it was about Monika or Hillary.

Wanna be careful with using "blows" or "blew". Some time back there was a post about a prank where a college guy dressed up like a girl and went door to door selling cookies, or something. I threw in a joking response that went something like "can I use your phone to call a tow truck? I blew a tranny .... ". I got suspended here for about a week. LOL

And just how does the government plan to recapture all that money? Nope, I didn't think they had an answer.

he/she/it is obviously a Democrat, so let's just send the bill to Howie Dean - he can justify paying it as part of his "50 state strategy" to support Democrats everywhere.

POST Headliner writers are legendary in New York. Two examples:

"HEADLESS BODY FOUND IN TOPLESS BAR"

"MARV (Albert)GETS PINK SLIP"

Cute joke.

Interesting. The children at my son's school (middle grades) use the word "gay" to descibe something stupid or undesirable. They use the word form "he-she" when talking about any aspect of homesexuality.

Kids know what is right.

You have to admire the creativity and effort it put into the effort.
