Talk about a welfare Momma! WOW!

[Malsua]

Oh, the huge manatees are back.

[wideawake]

She has been unemployed for 17 years, lives off government assistance, east no meat and has no car.

Yet she has heroically managed to accumulate approximately 250 more pounds of body weight than necessary.

What an accomplishment.

This article has been posted way too many times. Do we have a secret obsession with largness? Single mother, two kids, unemployed siblings, never worked. As I said before, welfare is the family business. Just a sad story about folks living off the fat of the land.

[ASA Vet]

Again?

[Malsua]

Do we have a secret obsession with largness?

Naw but when an article's main point seems to be about two 400 pound people going hungry it is.

[Mobile Vulgus]

Crap... I forgot I posted it before!

My mistake.

[Mashood]

HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON”T EAT YOUR MEAT???

[new cruelty]

WOW is right. Un-freakin-believeable. Sufferin’ Cats even!

[tflabo]

Guess they have exceeded their 'carbo-hydrate credits'.

Plus they're kicking out greater amounts of BTU's into the atmosphere and hence more global warming!

[xtinct]

Mizz Nunez could stand to eat nothing for 6 months and still be a whale.

[polymuser]

Neoliberal Propaganda Radio would do that?

[library user]

An instant FR classic.

[dforest]

LOL. A picture of starvation in the US.

[DCRoush]

I’m from Ohio...this is news to me! haha
We bought some meat just the other night actually...
hmm...

From: Director of Perception Control, National Propaganda Radio
Subject: Selection of interviewees

In the future please match the interviewees you use with the perception you are trying to create. For example, in a report on starvation please use victims who look like they have actually missed one of their six daily meals during the past ten years. Similarly, do not base stories about the need for nationalized health care with people who insist on swimming with sharks with AIDS or the plight of migratory birds on Canada geese which are stacked up by the tens of billions across the nation.

Is is according to the DBM:

Ladies and Gentlemen: The 50sDad Welfare Plan:

As of today, your government issued food card will not work on anything that is processed in any way. You may buy fresh vegetables, plain healthy whole-wheat bread, cheese, eggs, milk, and lean hamburger. No longer will Popsicles, any sugared cereal, dessert of any kind, donuts, ice cream, snack foods, soda, or any kind of food deemed "fun". Since some of you must apparently be treated like children, no dessert until you finish your vegetables. From now on snack foods are the reward for holding down a job. If you kids want to know why other children get chips and Twinkies in their lunchbox, tell them it is because you can't seem to maintain any kind of employment and must live off the work of others.

We bought some meat just the other night actually...,p> Hey, us too! Granted, we aren't eating the expensive steaks, but there's this thing called a "grocery ad" that tells you which meats are cheapest! I was a naturally cheap SOB long before the current downturn, and I positively HOVER over the "manager's special" section...if it is still vacuum wrapped and not discolored, you can get a really good price on expensive meats that are a day or two towards their expiration and still very good.
