Responsible for the death of one child? You’re called “Murderer”. Responsible for forty murdered children? You’re called “Governor”.

Governor Rick Scott of Florida, to be precise. Because of the funding cuts he ordered, dozens of innocent children were sent to live with child abusers, drug addicts, psychopaths and killers. Because of Rick Scott, these poor kids are dead.

Here is one example of his demands that children be put at risk. Scott claimed that cutting funds to the agency that is supposed to protect children was necessary to “create jobs”. He must have been thinking of jobs for undertakers, grave-diggers, and coffin makers.

And he wants more cuts. Yes, you read that correctly. Even though his hands are stained with the blood of innocent little kids, Rick Scott is OK with seeing even more of them die, so long as he and his cronies can pad their already-enormous bank accounts.

Gentle Reader, what does it say about a man, when he thinks it acceptable to add to his fortune by allowing children to suffer and die? This latter-day Ebeneezer Scrooge endorses the deaths of hundreds of Tiny Tims, but alas, there are no ghosts with sufficient power to awaken Governor Scott’s conscience. And so the children of Florida can’t count on a happy ending to their stories of anguish, privation, and abuse. Not this Christmas. Maybe never.

Moore, OK’s City Manager Would Rather See Kids Killed Than Build Storm Shelters to Save Them.

As you know, seven third-graders died in a massive tornado in their elementary school this week: they were suffocated by their school building when it collapsed on them. They died because, and only because, the cheap-ass mother***ers who built their schools decided not to spend money on storm shelters.

Moore’s mayor has seen the light, and is demanding that replacement buildings have storm shelters. One might think that was common sense, and one would be right.

But alas, common sense is anything but common: Moore’s city manager (Steve Eddy) hates the idea: http://www.npr.org/2013/05/23/186171500/okla-officials-toss-around-storm-shelter-issue-after-twister he says that locals don’t like people telling them what to do. Really, Steve? Somebody has to tell you to protect children? Christ on a pogo stick.

He also says that while “you can’t count the value or cost of lives”, “you can count the cost of construction”, and that “homebuilders are influential”. Translation: “it’s better to let kids get killed than it is to spend money to protect them”. Christ on an electric pogo stick.

Mr. Eddy represents everything that is wrong with the Teabaggers and Wingnut “Republicans”: all they care about is slashing services to the community and transferring our tax dollars to their fat-cat buddies. They do. not. care. if our kids die (or if we do). 

Do you care about the lives of children? Here’s Stevie-boy’s phone number: (405) 793-5200.

Let the stupid, heartless bastard know what you think.
