Extra - Michael Barone: "Soul-crushing dependency."

A searing indictment of the utter failure of social programs. The welfare queens have packed their bags and moved to Appalachia, where the living is easy.

Let's end the madness of providing assistance to poor families with children with educational problems. It's destroying America.

We are so gonna kick ass in 2012.

Yes, that's the real story here: the political impact.

In Appalachia, they pull kids out of school and in urban schools they send 'em. Curiously: same outcome.

That's weird, I thought we only believed anything printed in the New York Times on alternate Thursdays and Maureen Dowd's birthday. Obama's reelection really IS uniting America.
