We have all heard about the NYU students who took over the cafeteria and demanded silly things like NYU giving money to the terrorists in Gaza. Of course, they worded it as sending “supplies” to the university in Gaza. Gaza, the land of institutionalized suicide bombers. Gaza, ruled by the terrorist organization Hamas. They also demanded that NYU cut all ties to organizations in Israel… They also asked for things that made sense, like a tuition freeze. Listening to the news, guess what demands got top billing? Not the ones that made sense. How many people realize that they wanted collective bargaining and union rights for teaching assistants? Not too many I would guess. Add to that that the school revealed in the morning that there were non-students involved… The students have created a weak stance and will likely only get suspended or expelled. Now they have made themselves and their legitimate requests a joke. A BAD joke…

How can a doctor, honestly, consider it a good idea to help a mother of six who is already living on public help and living with her mother, to have six (admittedly, the delivery of an additional two children to the six was accidental) MORE kids? It seems obvious that something very odd is going on. How can a woman who needs food stamps to feed her children and must impose on her mother for daycare and a roof over her head possibly come up with the amounts of money to have an implantation done? Last I heard, that costs $20,000 – $40,000. What DID she PAY him with? Maybe she made a deal to pay him through the money she makes with her self generated media circus?
Now, she has a web site to bilk the public of even MORE MONEY. Plucking at the heart strings of a public the is ALREADY paying to raise her other children. Considering that the previous six children include several with significant disablities, one can only speculate how much more help will be required from the public to raise the octuplets. I understand that she wanted a big family. I want a BMW. I want a mansion. I have yet to push the stated and random strangers to pay for either one. If she had the money from work or from an inherritance, I would say “Have as many as you want!” The reality is, you and I are paying for her dream. That is sleazy and at least a bit nuts. At this point, there is no way on this earth (short of winning the lottery) that she will EVER be able to support these children without the public footing the bill.
What do I suggest? Take the medical license from the quack who helped her do this questionable act, and put the children in foster care or up for adoption so they can be cared for by a person who has a lick of sense. If I am going to pay to raise the kids, I might as well pay for a qualified person to do it.

Just read the silliest remarks in response to a news story. Our president makes the statement that companies bailed out by the government should not pay insane bonuses to the people who are CAUSING our current economic nightmare. People responded by insulting anyone who supported him and claiming he is “not creating new jobs this way.”
They must be the last three idiots in the world who still buy into “Trickle Down Economics”. These CEO’s do NOT create new jobs here with their MASSIVE bonus packages. They use it to go to other countries and have a good time. They buy luxury items you and I will never dream of being able to buy because these same people laid us off. Rich people who get a massive chunk of money do not “think of the greater good” or “help the common man”. They look out for themselves and screw everybody else. There are those who do buck that trend, but the vast majority of them do not.
A good number of these rich, lazy, useless people are takign the money and putting it into overseas accounts to keep from paying tax on it and buying up cheap stock in increments that will give them ownership of even more of our world while not quite increasing the stock price until they own as much as they can.
It just seems incredibly silly to me that people who actually work for what they get can back a CEO who caused his company to fail, getting insane pay.
