I understand the floating casinos in Miss applied to the state legislature on the day after the storm, asking they create immediate legislation that would allow the casino industry to collect disaster relief money.

As it stands now, they can't because they are officially "off shore" businesses (to avoid Mississippi laws, paying taxes and the like).

Bastards. Maybe their CEOs should be moored to a sinking oil platform.
