Here is the news article from kplctv.com about this woman bitching about her free FEMA trailer.
If you live in a FEMA trailer, you may have signed a form saying you are aware of and understand you could be exposed to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is widely used to make building materials and can be released from those materials even after your home is built. KPLC's Theresa Schmidt talks to a Sulphur area woman who only now realizes the risk and fears for her health.
Since around December Ellen Schools has been living in this FEMA trailer off Ravia road in Sulphur. She says it wasn't long after moving in that she started getting headaches, a sore throat and sinus problems she never had before.
"It's all stopped up and sometimes I'll have just a trickle of blood and that's when I get a paper towel and I'll have to check if it's clear or if it's blood," School said. School now believes she's suffering from exposure to formaldehyde which is widely used in building materials such as those used to construct her FEMA trailer. She says the glue was still wet when she moved in.
"We'd just keep walking on it until the glue got it to stay down," she said.
She's also worries about long term health effects. "Formaldehyde is embalming fluid. It does cause lung and throat cancer." School signed a paper when she moved in, confirming that she's aware of possible formaldehyde exposure and the health risks. Problem is, she says she didn't have time to read it when she signed it.
"I have my signature here," School said. "And they were in such a hurry to get out of here. I mean they could have explained it to me and they handed me the keys. If they would've told me? I don't, I would've taken this trailer. No, no."
She called FEMA. "They told me just to keep opening up my windows. And here it is in the middle of summer time. So, what do I do. Since I'm not paying the light bill leave the windows open and run the air conditioner?"
School says for her, the solution is to get out of the trailer and into a formaldehyde free home but she says she does not have the means to make that happen. "No place to go, no place to move. I'm in a divorce. This is the only place I have to live," she said. For now she opens the windows as much as possible and is planning to visit the doctor. She hopes future trailers will be built without formaldehyde.
You useless, crying bitch. You get a free house and it isn’t to your standards? Get a cardboard box and find an alley you ungrateful cunt. No one is forcing you to live there. And to add salt to my wounds, she makes the statement about “since I’m not paying the light bill to just leave the windows open. Oh you bitch. It has been almost a year with no light bill, no house note, and you still haven’t saved enough to get out and support yourself.
Instead of putting up a border, can we start an exchange program? At least the Mexicans will work when they get here and show some sign of appreciation. One good Mexican for one worthless bitch. Hell, I would be willing to take two Mexicans for every New Orleans refuge they take south of the border. Later.

Now that, boys and girls, is a RANT. Well said, John!
But John...could you use a little less sugar coating and tell us how you really feel? :D
And just what could I add to that?
Agree, that when it comes to ranking the folks that piss me off, the Katrina cry babies are far below the illegal aliens that at least get off their duffs and do some work.
(That doesn't mean you get to stay for free...and it doesn't mean I'm ready to get behind any of the crap oozing from the Senate Chamber in DC.)
See you on the high ground.
