“Fiscal Conservative” Tea Partier Owes Over A Hundred Grand in Child Support

Hypocrisy is unspeakably distasteful to me.

I think that’s most of my problem with the whole Tea Party movement.  The gist of what they’re saying sounds logical to those who aren’t educated in the ways of politics, and they use that logic to prey on the ignorant.

Their M.O. is to make themselves sound like an average citizen struggling to get by, and John Q. Minimum Wage has no idea that most of the Tea Partiers are extremely wealthy.  They collect the votes of people with legitimate financial struggles in order to put plans in place that will protect their fortunes, often at the cost of us low or middle class citizens.

It’s sickening.

Which is why I’m always kind of excited when Tea Partiers are caught with their financial pants down.  It gives me hope that the misguided people following them in droves will see the light.

Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois, he who has accused Barack Obama of “spending like a drunken sailor”, allegedly owes well over $100,000 in back child support.

For those of you unfamiliar with the child support concept, there is a standard …

Actor Michael Brea Commits Matricide … With a Sword

I guess if you’re a little-known actor, one approach to getting your name in print is to kill your mother with a sword. I’m not trying to be flip, either … I mean, killing your mother is bad enough. Is it really necessary to skewer the woman? Yup, I guess we’ll all remember your name now, Michael Brea.

From AOL News:

Officers responding to a call of a family dispute found 55-year-old Yannick Brea kneeling in the bathroom of her Brooklyn apartment at about 2:20 a.m. She had cuts to her head and was pronounced dead at the scene, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

“In a bedroom was her son … with a 3-foot sword,” Kelly said.

Police have charged actor Michael Brea with stabbing his …

Cutting Food Stamp Funds Will Impact Low-Income Women

There’s a stereotypical image of a woman with two grade-schoolers trailing behind her while she holds a toddler’s hand and balances a baby on her hip using food stamps at a grocery store (and an even greater caricature of her buying a carton of cigarettes at the same time). Although this image may be unfair, it’s an unquestionable fact that low-income women receive the lion’s share of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits (the PC way of saying “food stamps”) … and recent decisions made by the Senate are going to hit these women very hard.

From Ms. Magazine:

The Senate has voted to cut funding for SNAP, formerly known as food stamps. Over 40 million Americans receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. In 2014, the assistance for a family of three will drop by about $50 a month. This is going to hit low-income women hard.

SNAP statistics don’t break down recipients by gender, but we can connect the dots. It’s no secret that poverty is a women’s issue. Thirteen percent of U.S. women were living in poverty in 2008, compared to 9.6 percent of men, according to the National Women’s Law Center, and a similar poverty gap exists in every state in the country. Overall, more than 15 million American women live in poverty.

I’m not a man-hater. In fact, sometimes I wish I were because it would certainly erase a lot of complications from my life. However, it’s a fact that, when “leaving” goes on, it is proportionately more likely to be men leaving women (and children) high and dry.  And, yes, I do know ..
