as another stupid week comes to a close here in America, let’s look back at some of the highlights.

monday: further adventures in heartlessness

after Donny Convict announced that he was freezing all federal grant money, Republicans like Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick fanned out all over the cable shows to explain why denying financial aid to children and elderly shut-ins is actually a good thing.

“how many people got their starts in fast food restaurants when they were kids, versus a blanket rule that gives all kids lunches in high schools who are capable of going out and getting a job, and doing something that makes them have value. thinking about the future, instead of thinking about how they’re going to sponge off the government when they don’t need to. we don’t give people value. we don’t give them the ability to dig themselves out when we penalize them for actually working and keep them on welfare. that’s what’s been the inner city problem for a very long time.”

okay, there we go. it only took 27 seconds for the racism to come out. to McCormick, this is an inner-city problem — and we all know who lives in the inner cities, right? why are we giving those people free shit?
