Via Mostly Cajun [1], “A social worker finally snaps [2]”

The evil thought that this brings to mind?

Lots really. And none kinds towards welfare or it's recipients (but I realize
that the six cases mentioned in the rant above are perhaps the extreme cases
and don't represent the norm—at least I hope they don't represent the norm).

But the main thought is that the people mentioned above need a [DELETED-swift
DELETED] really XXXXXXX hard kick to the [DELETED-ass-DELETED] [DELETED-head-
DELETED] [DELETED-ass-DELETED] all over and reality shoved in their face.

Or perhaps we could ship these people to the Massachusetts Senate [3]—they
can help! They're from the Government!

(Oh my—am I turning … conservative?)
