Welfare almost never "makes people lazy"

I'm holding out hope for Ted Cruz, and happily, he has started to rise in the polls.

I just don't like his sad puppy dog face, or his whiney voice.

You mean the "me and Jesus" picture?

Here I thought you were a True Texan.


I haven't decided on Rubio or Fiorina. Rubio at least has stuck his foot in his mouth the least (I think).

I'm actually not really paying attention to the candidates like, at all. Although Trump Trump's hair has made for some good memes. I have other things on my mind. (Offering on a house soon! *Gulp*)

Good luck!

Oh and before I forget. Most of the shelters, food pantries, and clothing pantries here where I live are run by Churches, so yeah a lot of the money I give does go to help the homeless, unemployed, starving, etc. Because nearly 100% of the money I give to those places gets to the people who need it. And they get to know the people personally, and can hold them accountable, instead of letting scammers just take the money for themselves. One of the problems we do have here where I live is con-artists ACTING like poor, homeless people and wandering downtown, asking for money. Then they hop into their 2015 pickup truck and drive home after a "hard days work". So rather than giving money to people like that, I will offer to buy them a meal, and try to get to know them. Or tell them about the church shelters nearby where they can get some help. About 3 out of 5 times, they get mad and walk away because I didn't give them cash.

Looks like ANOTHER VACANCY ON THE "DIRTY DOZEN" LIST!

Any nominations to replace Sparko with someone more (un)"worthy"?

dangit!! I worked hard to be on that list and I refuse to leave!!

Glory, Hallelujah, the Spirit is a'moving!
Let's have confirmation by "Amen" count. If you "Amen" my #169, you want Sparko off the list.
If you "Amen" Sparko's #170, you want Sparko retained on the "Dirty Dozen list".
(Keep in mind that you may be Sparko's replacement if you vote for my #169. Unless you've been good.)
Highest "Amen" count wins! Go to it, brothers, let's have your amens!
(Sparko and I have already in effect voted for our choice, so we don't vote again.)

Has it dawned on you that nobody really cares?

This is about me, isn't it?

You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

Do you ever actually watch Fox News, or do you just get the same stinkin pinko commie leftist propaganda that JimL gets?

Many of the news sources I watch regularly show clips from Fox News in their discussions of what stupid things Fox News has been saying today.

And I'm sure your "news sources" make sure to always put things in their proper context and display them in the most charitable manner, right? Right?

[Adam]

But I've never been to Nova Scotia! Or even Canada ever!

But "Amen" to my Amen idea. Sparko runs this place, so people are afraid to vote. If they vote for my revocation of his former "Dirty Dozen" status, that's
supporting Sparko's good-guyness, but if they vote for Sparko's opposition to losing his (un)favored status, that's in effect dissing Sparko.
There's no courage here. Give it up.

Did I almost get in trouble. I typed "guyness" and it self-"corrected" to gayness!

And strictly speaking, when looking at demographic distribution, we typically do so in comparison to overall population distribution. All else being equal, the percentage of whites on SNAP should be ~62%, African American should be ~13%, and Hispanic/Latino should be ~17%.

Yeah!

Ah, "out of context" extracts which you are duped into believing is representative of the overall tone.

You mean kind of like those Planned Parenthood videos?
