I'm shocked. Really. People who are given handouts by the government don't want them to stop? Mindblowing and unexpected.

I live in Houston and I talked to a teacher who is helping out a family from NO and one of the ladies had an offer to work at Home Depot but decided against it because she had never worked in her lifetime.

I was being sarcastic with the "BREAKING NEWS" title. Forgot my sarcasm tag, though.

How old is this woman? But do you know that forty years ago, this was true of most white women?

Mitt Romney urges state lawmakers to adopt tougher federal disability standards that would force thousands of people considered disabled under current state standards to go to work

"she had never worked in her lifetime."

This is because
'we' elect politicians who don't want them to work,
'we' elect politicians who don't want them to have a 'good' education,
'we' elect politicians who don't want them to have pride,
'we' elect politicians who don't want them to become independent of government.

Me thinks that number may be a tad conservative.

Walk down the streets of Lynn, and Lawrence and you will see ten times that many
