Stigmatizing Welfare Recipients

Oh great. Rick Scott, that idiot that's running Florida, puffed himself all up. Well, now the needle is popping that balloon.

All welfare applicants must drug test -- out of their own pockets -- in order to receive benefits.

Yeah, they touted this like everybody on welfare is a shambling crack ho, spending the gov't money on drugs instead of feeding their children.

Hahahahaha! Too funny! Results so far: Of the approximately 1,000 applicants, only 20 tested positive.

Twenty.

So Florida has proved what all too many public employees already knew. Most people on assistance are trying to manage in a difficult situation. They're trying to keep a place to live and feed their kids. There's nothing left for drugs.

Don't believe me? Look up the benefit amounts in your state and try to live on them for just one month. I won't even bet you, it's not right to take easy money like that.

So, the next time someone is ranting about "those welfare leaches," do bring up Florida.

Yep, the haters have had another balloon blow up right in their faces.

FAIL!

Yeah, I smiled...

Crazy Ex Blogs

Oh my goodness, I thought my brother's exs (2) were wack!

This is some seriously crazy stuff here.

And now the judge has ordered the dad, creator of ThePsychoExWife.com to take down the site and not say a bad word about her in any way, shape or form.

Well, as a parent with a wack ex myself (but he's a man of course LOL), I can see where the judge has had it up to the eyeballs with this mess. She probably screams and throws things in her chambers when she sees this pair are on the calendar.

But, but, but...

Even though I kinda agree with her decision, since the kids know about the website, dad has a 1st Amendment right to speak his mind. From what I read, only initials were used and those initials didn't even match the person's initials. So how would the kids know? According to dad, mom told them.

Oooo, that is so not nice.

Anyway, it's all over the Internet.

What do you think?
Do you think the judge was right?
The judge is trampling his 1st Amendment rights?

Or...
Do you think the judge is right AND she's trampling his rights in order to protect his kids?

Honestly, usually when people are carrying on about their rights being trampled, they're just being idiots. In this case, I just don't know.

What about the kids' rights to grow up in a healthy environment without all this drama? And can you imagine what a living hell it would be to live in the same home with these two parents?

Poor kids.
