New Orleans strip club Mimosa Dancing Girls files oil spill compensation claim

BP receives 64,000 compo claims
Most from Gulf fishing industry
Strip club, tradies also make claims
AN unlikely company has filed a claim for compensation regarding the disaster - a New Orleans strip club.

The owners of The Mimosa Dancing Girls, located on the edge of New Orleans, claimed that the spill was bad for business as the fishermen who usually frequented the club cannot afford to spend money there, British newspaper The Observer reported.

BP announced yesterday that it had already received 64,000 compensation claims, adding that it already paid $104 million to residents along the US Gulf Coast.

Most of the 1500 claims the energy giant handles each day were said to be from those involved in the fishing industry, as a fishing ban prohibits them from working.

But according to The Observer, officials at BP's New Orleans claims centre said the bulk of claimants were no longer fishermen.

As well as strip joint owners, restaurant waitresses, dock workers, plumbers and electricians also came to the centre, saying their livelihoods were severely hit, the newspaper reported.

BP set up 33 field offices in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, and a thousand-strong team was set to deal with claimants.

The firm said it would not refuse any claim where the right documentation was provided.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

And does anyone wonder I like this woman? ;D That was about the most brutal smackdown I have ever seen delivered on TV. And all archival footage. No Bill O'Reiily yelling, or Sean Hannity pontificating, or Chris Matthews bloviating. Just, "Hey watch this". Lethal, effecient, and to the point, with no wasted effort. Classic. Too bad she's gay, because she's kind of like the glock of reporters. Not the prettiest one out there, but she gets the job done with no muss or fuss. That makes her pretty enough for me.. ;)

I vaguely remember this back in 79 and if cable TV had not been in it's infantcy, it might have been bigger news.

My last months in the military, I had other things on my mind at the time...  Sept 23, 1979 I became a Reservist.

That was when I graduated high school and joined the army. I don't remember much from back then.
