You’re down and out.
Maybe you still lived at home (at 37), mainlined heroin in your parents’ bedroom, and threw up all over the Tibetan-Armenian-Persian-Turkish silk artisan carpeting one too many times, so they tossed you, your Playstation Moon-Ray 6, and your Hitachi 184-inch HDTV out on Park Avenue. Maybe you’ve blown your life savings on BINGO!, LOTTO!, nickel slots, senior lap-dance nights, and several emails from someone claiming to represent the Nigerian government (after all, they can’t ALL be spammers!) and can no longer afford your to-die-for (really) one-bedroom flat in that posh “retirement community.” Maybe your deadbeat husband ran off with his 24-year-old buxom blonde secretary (sorry, administrative assistant) to start a home movie Internet business in the Caymans (age 18 and credit card required!), saddling you with five sniveling mutants under the age of 6 and a pile of bills so high the bank couldn’t find your home when they came to snatch it back; subsequently, you’re now in the wholesome care of dear ole Mom and Dad, who’ve started snorting Vladimir vodka just to get through the days (and those crazy, sleepless nights).
We can help.
At Jimmy Carter’s Crappy Carpentry and Contracting, we offer housing for the down on their luck.

Ann Coulter had Jimmy Carter pegged exactly right.
I cannot think of a more excreble, America hating POS than him.
Liberals go all googly-eyed over him, but they don’t realize he has the blood of hundreds of thousands (or millions) on his hands for his part in the ascendancy of Islamofacism.
He is stupid, naive, thick and petty.
Let’s not get carried away with this....
Jimmy was a lousy president and has learned nothing since.
He’s responsible for this mess in Iran and Hezbollah.
He was just in way over his head.
But Habitat for Humanity was a good idea: building homes with the participation of the future residents: teaching people how houses work, and how to fix them while they earned equity.
If there is anything wrong with this, at least it was wrong for the right reasons.
This is more of a story about how some people look a gift horse in the mouth after mistreating it the entire time they had it.
It would appear I already have gotten carried away.
Reading the original article at Times Online, makes clear that this is about ingrates that won't maintain the house they were given! The lawyer representing them has to be utter scum!
Is that the way it's working out? Seriously, how many of the HH homes are in a good state of repair? I don't know.
I hear what you are saying, but this is the problem, and it is representative of liberalism in general:
To liberals, results do not matter, it is the intent that is important.
To a degree, that isn’t a problem. Heck, I have done things for people myself and they did not turn out as I had anticipated, but I was given credit for being good enough to try.
But liberals take this to the governmental, environmental, judicial and national security level, and that is a problem.
They want us to spend trillions of dollars on global warming and hobble our economy in the process, but when it turns out to be more damaging to people AND the environment, there will be no culpability, because their intentions were good.
If the policies and techniques of liberal education turn out dummies, or forced school busing ends up causing more harm than good, they never get called to task on it because their hearts were in the right place.
If the Great Society that liberals implemented end up doing far more damage to the underprivileged by increasing crime rates, out of wedlock birthrates and destroy families in the process by substituting the government for family, they never get called on it because they meant well.
If the head of a foreign government (Shah of Iran) is forced out because he didn’t treat people the way liberals wanted him to, and a much more evil person steps in resulting in a world aflame and millions dead, they are never taken to task because they claim it was done in the name of promoting human rights.
If liberal government officials force private lending institutions under the threat of prosecution to abandon any pretense of traditional, fiscally sound lending policy in order to increase the number of low income people who own property, they are not pilloried for it when the house of cards comes crashing down because they claim they did it in pursuit of “Financial Justice” to help the poor.
And so on. This is not a personal attack on you by any means, this is something that has festered in my craw since I began paying attention to the political and social landscape in this country after serving under a Commander in Chief named Jimmy Carter.
