This makes me sick on several layers:

1) ungrateful recipients wh turned against their benafactors

2) It is a double cost cost of benifits + lost tax revenue because they did not work

3) How many others?????

4) How many people who might have legitimately needed help but were denied because of lack of funds(or housing etcc)

jUST HEARD THEY ARRESTED THREE MORE SUSPECTS?!?!

[PDad]

Evidently those 3 didn't have prior knowledge and were arrested for what they did afterward.

According to a statement issued by the U.S. attorney's office, Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov, both 19, are being charged with "conspiracy to obstruct justice" for allegedly getting rid of a laptop computer and a backpack belonging to Tsarnaev. Phillipos, also 19, was charged with lying to federal investigators during the bombing investigation.

The backpack was recovered from a landfill - that's a good indicator of how hard they're working on this case.

How in the hell do you fly repeatedly all over the World...and be on welfare?....

Easy, The Massachusetts EBT card, don't leave home without it.

Ok, I guess that means we have a tie between MA and CA.

The Tie Breaker:

'Taxpayer-funded program allows Calif. 12-year-olds to order condoms delivered to their door'

Its the ducks.

What's the ducks?? Our heads? Or if it walks like a duck.

[DonnieS]

Its a long story - but I think its whats happening. Many years ago, in a galaxy, far far away... wait - - wrong story. Anyway, years ago I lived in the desert and in our town , was a park with a small pond, about 2-3 acres in size. There was a pretty much locked in population of ducks that lived there - never left, don't know if they could even fly. We watched them over the years, they would play rodeo (how we explained to our children what they were doing) and then eggs would appear, then baby ducks. The population would grow and grow - until - something would trigger this mass killing of hens, mostly. They would turn on each other and kill off hens until the population dropped off. They would hardly ever kill each other - unless a duckling was born whose color wasn't like the others - but every few generations, it seems like as the population outgrew the pond, then they would start killing each other. I think we have outgrown our pond.

Duck is a very fine meal... Over population, or it's a small world. mmmmm Perhaps the star belly sneetches.
I may be that stubborn drake that just take care of his brood, or his side of the pond.
To tolerate is fine to a point, but the world is a changing. Remember when to have discriminatory taste was a good thing.
Now to discriminate is evil. My dd about 3yrs back told me "don't judge" I said "NO" I will judge.
Now,,back to the Boston Bombing subject and how the media covers it, spins it, slants it, to sell a point of view or excuse what really happened.
Danm, Donnie I wasn't going to drink tonite until I read your post, had to ponder.
PS Austin is still weird, real good eats.
