This is the page about the 2012 report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, and here is the full report in PDF (in just under 250 pages).
Just. Fucking. Saying.

So we know that the cop who investigated the Trayvon Martin murder has a history of racial problems. We know that one of the cops changed a witness’s testimony. We know that Zimmerman fired a warning shot and Martin begged for his life. We know that the police lied about…

Republican Rick Santorum doesn’t just want to fight the “culture wars” of the 21st century, he wants to go back and re-fight the 20th century. You know it just kills him that he wasn’t around to protest against Griswold v. Connecticut or Loving v. Virginia and all the other times in the 20th century when progress was made. He is a raving lunatic.

Wait. I think I’ve been doing liberalism wrong. Where do I go for the gay orgy?

So the Violence Against Women Act is up for renewal this year, and surprise of all surprises … not a single Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to reauthorize the act. Not a single one.Why? Well, the editorial in the New York…
Dear Asshole,
Sounds to me like you were always an asshole. You’re not entitled to the lady of your choice fawning over you eternally just because you washed your face and didn’t call her a “whore” for five minutes. You are not God’s gift to women. She just wasn’t attracted to you. It happens. Now, instead of throwing a tantrum, go put on your big boy pants and fucking deal.
Best,
Kama

I think all the people that are bashing this girl for texting on her phone need a big dose of shut the fuck up. Child neglect? Bitch, please. That baby isn’t crying. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a healthy new born, but if they need ANYTHING AT ALL, including food, changing, and attention, they will let you know.
You won’t “be like this when you have kids”? Be like what, exactly? Be seen with a cell phone ever again in your entire life, even for the nanosecond it takes to snap a picture? I’m not sure I had my cell when I was at the hospital with my daughter, but then I didn’t have any friends in this city either. If I were to give birth tomorrow, I’d be snapping cell phone pictures of that baby and sending them out, if not at least texting a few folks and letting them know that everything was okay (assuming it was), letting people know it’s okay to visit, etc. Grow the fuck up. It’s awesome to know that women are still so despised in this society that they can’t even catch a goddamn break when their creation of a motherfucking human being doesn’t look like a diaper ad for ten minutes.
So if you want to judge, why don’t YOU get pregnant, spend 9 months worrying and getting all manner of fingers shoved into your body, then have the baby while 6 people you don’t know and probably your mom stare at your vagina, get your vagina sewn back together, and spend the next 3 days rubbing ointment on your nipples and being asked to turn over every 4 hours so that a new person can check out the status of your taint…and then let’s not forget the nursing students who need to practice taking out a catheter! Then see if maybe you might want to holler at your best friend and be like, “Yay! she’s here! She’s gorgeous! OMG COME VISIT.”
Seriously. If you even thought about trashing this girl, you can suck my dick. If a guy were to even be sitting on the edge of that bed right now glancing at the kid he’d be nominated man of the fucking year.
Absolutely flawless commentary.
You know, or maybe the fact that she’s just had a baby would make her put the damn phone down and hold her child.
And if anybody needs to know if she’s okay, the family and friends around her can take care of that.She is holding her not exactly new born child. They call them laps for a reason. And really if you think that mothers aren’t allowed to do anything else besides hold their kids, you’re lacking any semblance of logic or critical thinking skills. She didn’t stop being a person when she had a child. Mothers eat, go to the bathroom, make phone calls…you know all those things other humans do.
what the hell is this. So apparently when you’ve just had a baby you’re not allowed to do anything else besides hold it for the entire week or something or the intenet will bash you
good thing I’m never having one
also she’s clearly in a HOSPITAL so there’s actually no way the kid could be neglected atm? Doctors are all around to take care of it. It’s their job, hers is to rest.
she just gave birth she can do whatever the fuck she wants. And maybe she doesn’t have friends or family with her who can take care of that. you don’t know her.
Stuff I like.
