If they didn't have welfare, they would need to have a job to eat and would clean your house. See, unlike those unemployed types who live off of savings and credit when they drop out of the labor pool, the welfare mom's don't have that cushion if you take away welfare. Then they would have to work to eat (and if you have seen a few of them, you know how much they like to eat, KWIM?)

But as long as you can get enough money to Supersize your meal at McDonalds from welfare, they prefer not to lower themselves by cleaning houses for a living. Hence the reason virtually every resident in Marin County has an illegal alien cleaning their house.
That's very interesting. Do you do field work up here?

FWIW - I clean my own house. Keeps me humble.
Is that what it is? I was wondering.

I certainly wouldn't want to spoil all your fun. Some, perhaps.

Exactly. Why do guys want to do this when there is a perfectly good shitless orifice (or two)* on a woman?

*and that doesn't even count the pseudo-orifice you can create if you squish your breast implants together.

You have to ask an admin. I'm just a mod.

Between you and me, you're not missing much.

Rep. Brown's comments are typically multi-layered. This may be a subtle jab at NAFTA, i.e. that it is making the North American peoples homogeneous.

Brown rips into Bush administration official

KEN THOMAS

Associated Press


MIAMI - U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown verbally attacked a top Bush administration official during a briefing on the Haiti crisis Wednesday, calling the President's policy on the beleaguered nation "racist" and his representatives "a bunch of white men."

Her outburst was directed at Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega during a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill. Noriega, a Mexican-American, is the State Department's top official for Latin America.

"I think it was an emotional response of her frustration with the administration," said David Simon, a spokesman for the Jacksonville Democrat. He noted that Brown, who is black, is "very passionate about Haiti."

Brown sat directly across the table from Noriega and yelled into a microphone. Her comments sent a hush over the hourlong meeting, which was attended by about 30 people, including several members of Congress and Bush administration officials.

Noriega later told Brown: "As a Mexican-American, I deeply resent being called a racist and branded a white man," according to three participants.

Brown then told him "you all look alike to me," the participants said.

It does textual analysis to predict whether the author is male or female. I'm not sure it works, though, because I plugged in some of Not Me's longer recent posts, and it says she's a he:
  • Female Score: 371
    Male Score: 1180

    The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

Back to the drawing board, I guess.

I plugged in my long Constitution post, and got this result:

Female Score: 745
Male Score: 1344

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

So .. not all man, but satisfactory.

P.S. I tend to think that the Not Me result was right on.

I much as I am supportive of the cause, I think this is a very bad idea, at least in those states where laws are being broken.

Your ratio is better. Higher numbers just mean more talkative.

E.g., throw in a couple of pages of a legal article, and, voila!

Words: 476

Female Score: 105
Male Score: 540

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!

I look at it like, Rosa Parks certainly brought the fight to a head, too.
