I am inching towards ordering my life so I can do things like go hang out with msbelle for a bit, I wouldn't say I can see that goal from here, but it is the goal.

Am having BBQ pork for lunch. Every time I take a bite, I need to wipe BBQ sauce off my hands and mouth. Luckily, they have a roll of paper towels at every table.

Let's set aside correlation or causation here with regard to single-parent families because I think I will stroke the fuck out if I have to ponder that...

What I want to know is what this legislation will accomplish. If the point is to fucking shame people for being single parents, then fuck you.

If the legislation is to help provide additional services or support for single parents, then you get applause.

There are all kinds of reasons why people are single parents (or functional single parents) and if they want to shame people, I have no use for you and I hope the good people of WI will vote you promptly out of office.

dance of joy, - t, dance of joy. getting on the path is a great step.

And Amy, while I no longer have the makings for cocktails on hand, I would re-stock for you.

I'd settle for a beer, to be honest. Or just your company, actually. Which reminds me that people should come HERE and visit me, too! For real. Please. Now.

This.

I am pretty sure the Single Mothers' by Choice national organization is stroking out at this guy's proposed legislation.

Oh, and by the way...I hope this legislator isn't against contraception funding because I think I'll have to contribute $$ to whomever is running against him.

I have done All the Things today except actual work. Yay?

Me too, pretty much. Oops.

Wisconsin GOP Bill: Single-Parenthood Contributes To Child Abuse

Single parents make up about a third of all Wisconsin parents — all part of a grand leftist conspiracy, according to Grothman. “The Left and the social welfare establishment want children born out of wedlock because they are far more likely to be dependent on the government,” he explained last July.

Grothman previously wanted to cut all funding for kindergarten for four-year olds, and introduced a bill that “would change state law retroactively to eliminate the claims of 173 children who are lead poisoning victims,” so it seems Grothman doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to child welfare.

Grothman was a vocal supporter of Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) anti-union bill last year and called activists protesting the bill a “different breed” and “slobs.” Activists tried to recall him, but fell short. (HT: Wonkette)
