Um, it's just as bad. Take away the stuff about "breeding" and he's still proposing withholding food from needy children in order to punish their parents' bad choices.

(ETA: and I should probably put scare quotes around bad choices, since apparently missing a PTA meeting seems to qualify.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I just read that. Did he just call people on food stamps or receiving public assistance "stray animals"???!!! As in not actually human beings?

I'm not saying it's not bad, but he doesn't keep going down the dehumanizing path. I have a big problem with treating children like property.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Good thing I haven't had breakfast because I would have thrown it up in my mouth.My hate on for some humans continues.

Pretty much, later he said he didn't, but he did.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

he said giving them aid without requirements (and we all know that is EXACTLY how it works, just free stuff with no requirements) was LIKE feeding stray animals, you know, cause both then take the free food and go breed. totally different than calling them animals.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love it when people do that. It's almost as if he said, "People who receive government assistance should be shot like dogs in the street. Now I'm not saying they should be shot like dogs in the street - I would never say that."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Read this from Dana this morning and laughed.

If this game goes into overtime, I won't be able to handle it.

We had a great night. Walked up to our local bar to watch the game and a bunch of our friends randomly showed up to support us (including our landlady).

My cousin got to go to her first playoff game, and my other cousin sat behind Tracy Porter's parents.

I cannot believe-my "I Believe" sign notwithstanding-we are going to the Superbowl. Dude. My absenteeish dad called me this morning (he dosen't ever call on my birthday).

Must be mighty chilly in hell.
