The problem with a huge slush-fund set up to compensate victims of the Gulf oil spill, you have to compensate everyone, and that includes strippers.
Is a strip club that caters to oil-rig workers entitled to a piece of the $20 billion fund for victims of the Gulf of Mexico disaster? How about a souvenir stand on a nearly empty beach? Or a far-off restaurant that normally serves Gulf seafood?

The farther the massive spill's effects spread, the harder it will get for President Barack Obama's new compensation czar to decide who deserves to be paid.
That's the trouble with a Czar, isn't it? Who gets the handout and who doesn't?
