From the FOREVER GREAT, INCOMPARABLE Uppity Woman : No kidding. You can’t make this shit up. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal government sent about 3,900 economic stimulus payments of $250 each this spring to people who were in no position to use the money to help stimulate the economy: prison inmates. In addition to paying for the food, lodging and weight room for some of Americas most vile subhumans, you will be happy to know you helped them out with stimulus checks so that they can purchase their cigarettes and drugs and keep that old prison economy running smoothly. Prison inmates are generally ineligible for federal benefits. However, 2,200 of the inmates who received checks got to keep them because, under the law, they were eligible, said Mark Lassiter, a spokesman for the Social Security Administration. They were eligible because they weren’t incarcerated in any one of the three months before the recovery package was enacted. “The law specified that any beneficiary eligibl...

As a graying-baby-boomer who will be having more surgery within the next couple months and who's been disabled for 14 years, I see this happening and the Democrats have sunk so low as to try to SANITIZE this for everyone.

But far more important than mannerism is the profound obligation of every citizen and active US resident to scream out against the despicable “healthcare” provisions in the “Stimulus” Bill. The so-called “Stimulus Bill” has in it a provision to establish a “National Coordinator o...

By Charles Krauthammer "A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe." -- President Obama, Feb. 4. Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared "we have chosen hope over fear." Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill. And so much for the promise to banish the money changers and influence peddlers from the temple. An ostentatious executive order banning lobbyists was immediately followed by the nomination of at least a dozen current or former lobbyists to high position. Followed by a Treasury secretary who allegedly couldn't understand the payroll tax provisions in his 1040. Followed by Tom Daschle, who had to fall on his sword according to the new Washington rule that no Cabinet can have more than one tax delinquent. The Daschle affair was more serious because his offense involved more than taxes. As Michael Kinsley once observed, in Washington the real scandal isn't what...
