In “better times,” the American people used to trample one another to death at the local Wal-Mart for a pair of U.S. flag-themed XXXL sweatpants and a jumbo box of Ding Dongs. Remember how good those days were, way back then? It was like being in the womb. Now we get word that in Dallas, thousands of people crushed each other in a pre-dawn stampede to fill out applications just to be put on a wait list for federal housing assistance that allows a few lucky people to live barely above the edge of homelessness and malnutrition that their minimum-wage jobs afford them. Over 21,000 people applied in person and online for a mere 3,800 vouchers, mathematical odds which many experts say are pretty crappy. What is wrong with cardboard boxes, lazy poors?
Who are these people who so much like to batter each other’s skulls for a government dime?
From the Dallas Morning News:
Applicants on Thursday ranged from young single mothers pushing strollers to older adults with nothing but a small Social Security income. Many in line have jobs but barely earn minimum wage.
Eanisha Fields said she works on an assembly line job at a cup manufacturing company but does not earn enough to support herself and her two children. The 33-year-old Dallas woman arrived at the sports complex after midnight Thursday to get a good spot in line.
“It was crowded,” she said.
Tashia Moss of Richardson has a job as a home health worker — but it does not provide enough to cover basic expenses.
“I work; I just don’t make enough money,” said the 32-year-old, who is trying to support two teenagers.
Sounds very suspect. What is wrong with everyone, taking all these terrible, low-paying jobs? [Dallas Morning News]

I am going to buy a fridge today and donate the box to one of these lucky people. I have no idea what to do with the fridge though. Something will come to me eventually.
Unused refrigerators make great playhouses for kids. Just make sure the door is still on the hinges and that it closes securely.
I like the way you think! Can you watch my kid while I go out, please? Just give them a slug of Robitussin, with its cool grape goodness, and they will probably sleep for a while.
I have some plastic bags from the dry cleaner they can play with if they get up before you return. Happy to help.
Before you knock the kids out could you please help them with their summer gym project? They are training for the "running with scissors" Olympics.
I have some leftover illegal fireworks from the Fourth that they can play with, too. It takes a village!
I thought that was Dimetap…
Use it to help some Rethugs to chill out, especially if it latches and can't be opened from the inside.
Set it to 57 degrees and store wine.
I store my beer at body temperature…
Use it as a bomb shelter.
You beat me…..DAMN YOU HATEMACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!
Or Follow V572's advice and call it a "getting bombed shelter."
It can be your IIndiana Jones suspension of disbelief/fall out shelter.
You're a home-creator!
But what's the good if you are creating a home for a parasite. Remember, we have an obligation to walk past the poors by the side of the road.
And a big thank you for teeing this one up so nicely for your p-deprived fans.
Live to serve, Sweetheart!
COWBOYS!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! FUCKIN EMMITT SMITH IS THE BEST RUNNING BACK EVER!!!!!!!! FUCKIN' COWBOYS!!!!! Oh wait wrong riot.
That's the "circuses" part. This is the "bread" part of our new future/current reality.
Sweeeet KSK reference brah. Pretty much the only two blogs worth reading these days are Wonkette and KSK.
Oh. I got lucky on that reference.

enjoy.
Jokes on them while they are being distracted by the slight chance of housing with dignity I will be stealing their Hobo Beans.
mathematical odds which many experts say are pretty crappy
The odds are a whole lot better than the lottery. just sayin'
Thank Jeebus the Texas legislature has spared Texas workers from the scourge of unionized labor, with its attendant good wages and benefits.
Mmmmm, is this why doG has laid a dust-bowl daze drought on the Texsicans?
No, that's just because people aren't supposed to live there at all, and would never have done so were it not for American meat lust and the geological accident of the Permian Basin. Not as egregious as Phoenix, but really: West Texas…why?
Because too much empty space on a map is embarrassing to the cartographers.
How about the Cartographers for Social Equality?
Fun fact. The leader of the first group of Europeans to set foot in Texas was named Cabeza de Vaca and he ended up there on accident.
Yep. Wrote an interesting memoir, too.
Right to Work With No Rights At Work
The penultimate Kochsucking dream.
Cuz Texas is a Right To Work For Shitty, Low Wages state.
God bless.
3,800 crappy apartments, and one lucky person gets to live in Rick Perry's Christian hair.
Don't these people know that here in America the way to get government largess is to buy a Senator?
I've got nothing. This is just so sad. We are truly on the way to the Thunderdome.
And what will we do with our lives?
God damn it. I'm really too small to carry a small man all day, but to big to be carried by even the largest possible person for an extended period.
It seems I will never, ever run Bartertown.
Don't feel bad–somebody needs to stir the pig shit, after all.
Yeah, but to get that job you probably have to come out near the top of a 21,000 person stampede.
Life's a bitch, ain't it?
Tashia Moss of Richardson has a job as a home health worker — but it does not provide enough to cover basic expenses.
“I work; I just don’t make enough money,” said the 32-year-old, who is trying to support two teenagers.
If wealthy Americans paid less in taxes, the Tashia Mosses of the world would have decent jobs that paid decent wages.
—-
HA HA HA HA HA –no they wouldn't, they would still starve but the rich would keep more of their money which is the fucking point, after all.
In the minds of WSJ editors and Oren Hatch, Tashia Moss doesn't pay any taxes, like 51% of American freeloaders. In that hypocritical space, there is no FICA or Medicare withholding. Why not? Because you don't pay it on unearned income! Seems fair to me'n'Rupert.
Obviously, Tashia Moss just needs to go out and get another job. Truly successful people aren't afraid to work 26 hrs a day to get ahead. Lazy grifter.
$7.25 (2011 TX min wage) x 26 (hrs per day) x 7 (days per week) x 52 (wks per year) = $68,614
It is obviously the lazy poorz fault if they only earn the $15,080 (40 hours per week…we won't talk about nonsense like sick days) doing some lay-about job like providing home health care. Honestly, you'd think folks would be jumping at the opportunity to spend every waking (and sleeping) moment wiping the behinds of the more fortunate and getting paid for it! Ingrates.
Since we are officially part of the Third World now can't we just ask Sally Struthers for help?
Every time I see one of those commercials, I have to think, would one of these contributors give a dollar a day to help an American child?
No because starving browns from other countries are cute. Starving browns here mean we need to build more prisons. I need a drink.
It would help me just to see those big plump titties again. No, wait, hadn't she put on 100 pounds, as of ten years ago? Please disregard this post.
I understand she lost that gig because she started to look like she ate a few of the children.
All In The Family is on TV Land.
There will probably be a similar riot/stampede down at the Corporate Jet store just before the thing kicks in if NoBama get's his tax hike passed.
Yeah, but those guys, rather than go through that inconvenience, will hire homeless people to wait on line for them. Trickle down, people!!
If by 'hire' you mean 'retain as consultants for hobo beans' then yes.
(who the hell wants to pay employer taxes for hobos?)
But I thought that Texas created more jobs than the whole US last year!
Did they forget to mention these jobs were mostly minimum wage?
Not just miminum wage, but no benefits. PARADISE!
Just think how many more jobs Texas could create if they got rid of that minimum wage socialist scrap.
That was my thought, too. Nothing like a 50 cent-an-hour job to convince someone that they need to try harder to be rich!
But won't it be expensive to make the aisle on the sweatshop floor wide enough for Hoverrounds.
But … but … but … God told Rick Perry that's all they need.
Yes, an employer's paradise.
If we could repeal the socialist-inspired minimum wage laws, we could create even more jobs!
EDIT: I see that not refreshing my browser caused me to repeat what M. Grumpe said 4 minutes before i did… I believe I owe him a coke.
If only I could afford one!
If these people weren't such Communists, they would have started their own businesses, instead of expecting someone else to give them money for working.
WHY DO THEY HATE CAPITALISM?
Here in Commie China, people start little businesses selling fried potatoes or cutting hair on the streets without much restriction. (They do run when they hear the cops are coming, so there must be something.) When they get a little money, they rent stalls in flea markets or sell fresh veggies/fruit. Lately, some have been renting hatchback cars, and selling t-shirts and jeans out the back. In Capitalist America, none of this is allowed! I hear it's because Safeway and Walmart, etc., spread campaign money around, and get such small businesses zoned out of existance. True?
And yet you can still buy a fake Prada bag on the streets of Manhattan. I guess Bloomingdale's and Bendel's don't contribute enough to law and order candidates.
Do they pad those numbers with undocumented household help?
Next t-tard improvement: sub-minimum wages!
If they didn't want people to sprint toward the entrance, they shouldn't have held this at the Jesse Owens Memorial Complex.
Malcom X (or maybe it was Alex Haley) used to say you could find the Black neighborhood in any city just by looking for Abraham Lincoln Elementary. How much you want to bet the "Red Bird" area of Dallas has a higher density of people of color?
We've already got a friggin' Ronald Reagan Elementary here. Moving sucks but I would've done it if my kids had to go to that school.
Nobody even remembers that meme because it was replaced by the "Martin Luther King Blvd. In Every City Meme" around 1970, and as Chris Rock famously said, that is the one street everywhere that you DON'T want to break down on.
You know WHO ELSE had a Jesse Owens complex?
Hitler. Leni Riefenstahl. The geniuses behind "Baywatch Hawaii."
Is that all of 'em?
[somebody had to do it]
**golf clap**
Well played, chap; well played.
The Venn Diagram overlap of the "attendees of this stampede" and "people that don't want to see the rich taxed anymore" has got to be basically one circle, no?
…she works on an assembly line job at a cup manufacturing company…
Is it just me, or is there something ineffably sad about that? At least she'll have something to collect change in when she winds up having to pan-handle.
The owner of that cup company clearly needs some tax relief so that he can invest in some nice robot assembly-line workers, because that will give him more profit, and then he'll finally be able to create more… oh, wait.
Plus less pilferage from his freeloading minimum-wage employees.
Dixie Cups, one wonders?
Bingo!
you know what I do? I do billing in the medical field. I process all the paperwork for all the teenage suicides, elderly renal failures, single mothers, and cancer patients where i live. And then I beat every last goddamn cent out of them as a reward for their misfortune. You know what I feel like at the end of every day? Shit.
Our world is aweful and our country is aweful. And their story and my story is merely the uppermost tip of a nearly unfathomable iceberg.
I feel for you, honey. Pitting us against each other is one of their best tricks. I don't know how many times a week I say to someone on the other end of the phone, "Look, I know YOU'RE not my problem, so please understand it's not you I'm yelling at," and yet I can't stop yelling.
I'll drink to that,
or I would if only I had a cup
How much "assembling" does a cup require? Just asking.
No doubt, Kock created Dixie Cups. Great for spittin' chew…
Dixie Cups are owned by the Koch bros., I believe.
What is wrong with cardboard boxes, lazy poors?
That would have been a better title for Robert Samuelson's column in the War Criminal Post today.
(Link is to CEPR, not the WaPoop.)
~
Man, what a deep thinker that Samuelson is: Let's look at a Baltic city-state with the population of Houston, which still manages to have 16% unemployment, and see what their response to the world economic crisis has to teach us.
Did the Koch bros. just fax that over to him?
Lee Harvey Oswald would be so proud,
You can't hand out food stamps to the poor because they just spend the whole thing right away. The poor know nothing of frugality.
If you visit the stores which accept food stamps, the food is always more expensive.
Actually, where I live, all the supermarkets accept food stamps. If they didn't they'd lose about 20% of their business. But I hear what you're saying. Food stores in poor neighborhoods, where people without cars have to shop, usually do have higher prices. But often it's because their rent is higher in urban areas and they're a smaller business that carries less inventory.
Since when is it the government's obligation to see that people don't live in the streets? Also, if they're in the streets, why the hell aren't the police enforcing the vagrancy laws?
Some work houses and debtors prisons would clean this mess right up.
Maybe they fired the police to save money.
The online applicants were virtually unharmed.
That's the problem with those shiftless poors – not filling out the apps online because of computers and internet access and such.
I'm pretty sure here in MC- there is no lining up- you send in your application when the word goes out that the Housing commission is opening the lottery. I think the last time was 3 years ago.
Hey, maybe that's the solution – provide basic services using the lottery method. And then we can have the losers ride the Carrousel.
Everyone not reborn – Soylent Green.
Better living through science fiction.
Michael York was pretty hot in that movie . No one was reborn so I guess they all end up in Soylent Green w/o Michael York
Welcome to Texas, the state with plenty of jobs: low wages and a benefit free environment so you don't have to fill out those silly insurance forms.
OT:
No offense, but why won't our dear Wonkette give us a place to snark about the Murdoch thing?
(I'm tired of going to huffy HuffPo for info.)
Didn't you know that Murdoch owns Wonkette?
And is doing a very good job: no known hackers employed here. (Of course, strictly speaking, no one is "employed" here and there are no phones, but still.)
Not to mention Casey Anthony!
The NOTW whistleblower was just found dead today….story in the Guardian.
And the police who were in on the scandal are 'investigating', so far they say 'no foul play'? Oh REALLY?
The Guardian is giving very full, gloating, coverage!
Yeah, I thought I was disgusted by this story. Then I read the comments posted by DMN readers.
Can we just have a litmus test for basic humanity, and everyone who laughs at people who need to do something like this for basic fucking shelter fails that test?
We have become a scoiety of self-centered, self-righteous, ignorant sons-of-bitchs. I'm ashamed of most of my fellow americans.
I blame Reagan for accelerating our downward spiral.
Ah yes, nothing like a little jaw-dropping racism and classism to make your morning that much brighter.
These people elected Rick Perry for Governor for fuck's sake. GWB is from that area. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders cheer for their teams..
They're all hat no soul. Period.
And of course most of these folks are spending $70/month on their Premium Cable/High Speed Internet packages, another $70/month for their cell phone unlimited text/data package, and only buy the most expensive dog food for their two pit bull puppies they bought last month for bargain price of $600/pair, and they they drive a newish 4WD SUV that gets about 16 MPG…
(Sorry, just channeling my inner Barbara Bush for a moment there.)
And they think their less-than-minimum-wage-no-benefit undocumented household help should be grateful to them. And learn to speak English, fergawdsake.
I dunno, should I bother registering at the DMN to post this?
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45“He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Nah, too long. Try "STFU you uncaring morons. Love, God," instead.
The Twitter version. I like it.
I think you should, DZ. It's always good to give those fucking hypocrites a taste of their own medicine.
Done, with an added coda:
And the Righteous Conservative will say, But Lord, they had tattoos and bleached hair, and I'm pretty sure they were lazy and promiscuous, too!
And the Lord will reply, 'Oh? No biggie, then. I didn't mean THEM."
Vhat could it hoit?
Strangely, you never hear Xtian fundamentalists or Dominionists quoting these lines. Just the "hate everyone different from you" crap from the old Testament.
Yeah you have to love these scumbags. The article quotes two women WITH full-times jobs and a disabled woman whose husband just died and these bigots go on about welfare queens. I'm pretty sure they didn't read the article. They just saw black people in the photo and fired away.
Read? You've gotta be kidding, right?
It's like the video taken during the health care reform debate, where they showed the asshat throwing money at a man who had muscular dystrophy. Once the video went viral, he then apologized and said he was caught up in the "mob mentality".
The fact that these people even exist, concerns me on the future of this country.
Basic humanity. Is that one of those quaint things like the Geneva Conventions?
You be sure that there are shit-loads of people, whistling in the dark, and saying "it can't happen to me! I'm not like THOSE people!" Until they ARE impoverished like THOSE PEOPLE and then they blame conspiracies, minorities, etc. I heard it all when I was under-employed in the '90s and it's a big reason why I remain abroad, teaching English in Big, Bad, China.
Soon we'll all be living in a rolled-up newspaper at the bottom of a septic tank.
You don't already? Lucky dog.
eating stinking hot poison for dinner
and have to get up for work 45 minutes before we get home.
Kids these days don't know how good they got it!
Ha ha, you're assuming there'll still be newspapers.
Can you live in a rolled-up website?
Luxury.
At least in a septic tank, you'll have a roof over your head.
Hey. Wait a minute. Ain't this Texass where Rick "Godhascalledme" Perry is gubner. Why are these people getting Federal funds? This sounds like a Commie/Muslin/Darkie plot to make Obama look good.
Oh, we know who these freeloaders are, alright. They'll be publishing all the names on the internet.
I thought they were just going to display their names underneath the images on the video posts. That way you know the name of the person you're laughing at as they desperately try to keep their head above water.
From that story, it sounds like it's a lot of women who can't pay their bills. They really should've kept their legs crossed and they wouldn't be in this predicament today. Family Values!, Sanctity of Marriage!, Abstinence!!
I just threw up in my mouth from writing that bullshit. Gross.
At least they weren't afraid of life.
(strangle, fall over)
Prar! Fasting! Handing children over to someone else and work twenty hours a day to pay for handing children over to someone else!
This is the Koch Bros' version of the the Kentucky Derby.
Around the corner pulling up from behind it’s Welfare Queen followed by Shiftless Bum. Trying to hold the lead is Goodwill Shopper with a very close second by Deserves To Be Poor and Sold Her Children to Science Experiments!!!.
This is some race David! Right you are Chuck. I haven’t seen running like this since that two for one Wal-Mart special on baby formula.
Of course the bet is $1.00.
Why don't those lazy teenagers get a job at McDonalds and get food for free? Hunger is a good motivator, right? Then they could live in a real nice walk-up condo without electric, windows or doors.
Dallas will now be declared some sort of bastion of liberal urban mismanagement — unless that's already happened.
I guess it saves Perry the trouble of having to execute them directly. So, win?
Bitch, bitch bitch.
Ahhhh the poors. They make me soooooooo mad. Whine about their situation when they should be kissing the ground I walk on for letting them look at me and breathe the local air and see me drivining in my SUV-limo.
ewwww they're soooooo poor
And they choose to be that way. It's sickening.
Not to worry. Things will be getting better very soon. Once the Republicans in Congress have guaranteed that the debt ceiling won't be raised thereby forcing the Treasury to default that will cause the Matrix to reset and the few who get to make the transition to the 'new' world will have a wonderful life. It'll totally be worth it for the rest of us too, spiritually, somehow…I guess.
Sounds good to me, as long as I get firsties on Carrie-Anne Moss.
Where is the Invisible Hand? Why can't it just wave it's majik penis and make these people happy like we were told it was supposed to be?
Also spotted in line: butter-fingered receiver Roy Williams of the Cowboys, still trying to get his ex-girlfriend to return an $80 thousand engagement ring. "I work; I just don't make enough money", said the soon-to-be-unemployed-when-the-lockout-ends college dropout.
Latrell Spreewell just called. Repeated that the reason he turned down that 7 million dollar a year contract was because he has a family to feed.
Ho-ly shit. This'll be what pushes Rick over the top for Prez. With results like these, the fucking Rs will DEMAND that he be placed at this Godly Pulpit.
Welcome to fucking Somalia II.
Its like Pamplona, except its "the running of the poors." Watch out for their horns! No, wait, thats the jews.
Texans wear cow-boy hats to cover up their horns…
Can't Jeebus Rick Perry save all these poors from living in the street? What kind of fucking savior is this asshat anyway?
He doesn't see them. They are the Invisible.
What did we decide on? Belize or Costa Rica?
Costa Rica: no military, mountainous terrain, desperately poor subsistence-agricultural economy, spectacular beaches, 25% of the country set aside as wildlife preserves/parks/national forests.
Belize: better snorkeling, unbearable summer humidity.
I know lots of wingtards who fled to Costa Rica to escape the tyranny of a mixed-race Democratic President and his commie health care reform and socialist pogroms. I believe they all live on the Pacific side. Or so I have heard. So Caribbean then!
but no GMO or HFCS so its all good.
I think Belize is cheaper (I've never been to either, yet).
~
Well, either one is chock full o' poor people needing American exploitation, so just flip a coin.
What's wrong with these people? Are they so poor and lazy that they expect to 'sleep' instead of just working three jobs to raise kids they'll never see?
How long will the Republitards cling to their world view that no one who seeks a government assistance is deserving of it (and that lower taxes are not government assistance)? How long until we run out of hobo beans and are forced to eat our young?
well since many of them have no idea that they THEMSELVES receive government assistance, probably forever.
Well, if you ask *enough*, like a gazillion dollar subsidy for your corporation, then you're OK. Even a home-mortgage tax write-off or a crop support payment is OK. Small sums, that's the evil welfare.
I'm sure Rick Perry will be asking God to build more affordable housing at his prayer rally. That, or this will all be taken care of when Texas secedes and doesn't have to bother with federal money and regulation.
I just hope that the Harlot with her Three Lesser Demons won't foul that all up.
"What's wrong with these people? "
Not enough pitchfork.
you are so right…..unless you can find one at Goodwill, shit out of luck
They should really save the stampeding for perhaps inside the gates of Dubya's tony neighborhood.
One sad thing is that I bet many of these people voted for Bush the 1st, Bush the 2nd, Rick Perry, John McCain, and Saruh. And I bet many still think this is the "greatest country in the world," even while they are getting the crap kicked out of them.
Really poor people don't bother to vote. If you're conscientious, like I used to be, you find that getting to the polls before you go to your minimum wage shit job, or after, is far from easy. If you have children to prepare for school, etc., much harder.
Note that in Australia, election day is always a public holiday, and everyone is required to vote. In the US, it's always a Tuesday, a working day, and only convenient for the self-employed.
Rick Perry's Texas. Yes, you too can live like a third world peasant. Shanytowns be com'n soon.
Along the Texas border with Mexico, there are shantytowns called colonias. No running water, no paved streets, highest teen pregnancy rates in the USA. Way ahead of you there!
Hoovervilles, in honor of the previous event.
Perryvilles, Walkervilles, Cantorvilles, Boehnervilles (though that might only apply to people living in old Pontiacs), Kochvilles…the possibilities are endless!
In Houston they all ride the light rail all night until a cop comes on to kick them off.
yea, thats right no conductor taking tickets
I thought Texass was going to secede? Why are my tax dollars going their to help these people?
Good point, I mean the rest of those 21,000 people have to live somewhere, right?
Republicans seem to think people just vanish when they don't have enough to eat, but in reality, they get hungry and stabby.
In most third world countries, you're allowed to have a kitchen garden, to sell crap on the roadside and you probably have an extended family that helps you out.
American Exceptionalism.
Downfister doesn't believe in American Exceptionalism. What a socialist!
Did they give the Olds a head start in the "Shelter Scramble" event or was it a wide open field?
Regardless, next time, they should put them all on roller skates or make each of them put their forehead on a baseball bat handle with the other end touching the ground and then run around it 5 times before they can start the Scramble. That would be seriously fecking comical watching a bunch of dizzy Poors trying to find vouchers and their dignity while stumbling around and bumping into each other. I'd pay to see that shit.
OT, but because the MSM finds this not newsworthy, please note that the government has stopped torturing ex-PFC Bradley Manning and moved him from solitary at Quantico to the Fort Leavenworth Disciplinary Barracks. They still won't set a date for his Article 32 hearing (equivalent to a grand jury). Barry's already declared him guilty, so why bother?
//dick joke.
"//dick joke. "
Nice save!
Compiling a list of bad guys to be assassinated/droned, sans trial, etc., too. Probably this will become common in the Homeland, too. Maybe cops will just round up and shoot annoying homeless people, like in Brazil!
Zachary Thompson, the county’s director of health and human services, said…he would reassess the county’s process after news reports of the stampede. He said the county did not allow people on the facility property because officials did not want overnight camping. Still, he admitted that the county could not prevent people from arriving the night before.
“This is what you have to go through,” Thompson said. “It’s like when someone wants to get tickets to a sports event or the latest iPad.”
Yes, waiting overnight for the mere chance to get decent housing in two years is fucking EXACTLY like getting tickets to a game or an iPad.
Asshole.
Yeah, this is precisely like Black Friday shoppers linning up around the block to get their hands on a discounted iPad… you know… if getting your hands on a discounted iPad meant you'd have enough money to eat 7 days a week, your daughter woudn't run away to turn tricks on street corners, and and wouldn't have to sleep in your car along with your two school aged children. You know… if that's what it meant to get a discounted iPad it would, indeed, be just like this.
Probably semi-indecent housing.
You're making that shit up, right? I mean, he really didn't say that, did he?
It's in the Dallas Morning News article, sorry to say…
This is so Goddamn depressing the snark eludes me. Welcome, America, to Rick Perry's Texas Miracle.
I bet the Koch brothers came in their pants when they saw this. Soon, brothers Koch, soon my precious. The rebirth of the gilded age is nigh.
We need a repeat of this scene on election day, November 2012 or you lazy hobos will never see another federal housing assistance dollar again as long as you live.
And if Perry tells you to pray for assistance, tell him to kiss your homeless mother fuckin' ass.
I agree completely. But motherfuckin' is one word, not two. I'm just sayin', if you're gonna throw down, you got to be grammatical.
Getting on the voter rolls is not easy, either.
And will be much more difficult by the next election.
They took our jobs!
Poor people don't be haters. If your parents had worked harder you could have inherited a corporate jet to live in. Now I'm off to hang with the OKC hipsters.
GOODHAIR NEEDS TO KILL MORE INMATES AND THE PRESIDENT JOB IS HIS.
ALSO, DO THE POORS REALIZE HOW HARD IT IS TO GET A DECENT TEE TIME? EVERYBODY IS SHARING THE PAIN ALSO.
Obviously, Texas is falling down on its job to incarcerate citizens in private prisons.
I can't see the comments because the DMN site doesn't support Chrome. So, win!
It's the little victories that make this long slog through my mid-thirties bearable.
MOAR TAX CUTZ FOR THE RICH!!!
It's not a proper stampede without fatalities. No story here.
One can only wonder at what point they will say, "ENOUGH!"?
I've been wondering about this for quite a few years, too. But the propaganda in cheesy movies about how everyone is rich and happy in the USA is pretty strong.
Amazing!
>
I've recently learned the concept of "parallel ignorance", when everyone in the XYZ cult is thinking "I'm the only one who's not succeeding! I'll keep quiet and not admit I'm failing!" Probably something like that is at work around the US, too.
Or just a general lack of situational awareness.
They treat the poor in Texas like Cucarachas.
Surprised they just don't build a giant Roach Motel…
But when do the Hunger Games start in the Capitol?
Here is a video news report on this disgraceful event with the stampede footage:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LHpL9KzMac
You don't need a hurricane to throw a Katrina party! What a P.O.S. country we are becoming!
Government small enough to drown in the bathtub.
Needz moar Mel Gibson and Tina Turner.
"What is wrong with cardboard boxes, lazy poors?"
Probably the boxes are against the law, punishable with a beating rather than a night in jail, out of the cold.
When immigrants stop coming to the US and emigrants start fleeing, then you'll know the shit is hitting the fan.
