Ya gotta hand it to the Indians: they DO use every part of the welfare check
The grandparents, who represented themselves without a lawyer, denied starving the girl. They claimed that all three children in the home could eat as much as they wanted.
However, the grandfather maintained that without “proper financial help,” they couldn’t always afford good food, and blamed Social Services and their band for not properly supporting them with her care.

‘So Drew Barrymore may be converting to Judaism’
Marilyn Monroe, Carroll “Baby Doll” Baker, Carolyn “Morticia” Jones, Norma Shearer, May Britt, Eleanor Parker, Polly Bergen and, of course, Elizabeth Taylor. Just when one thought that Taylor and Richard Burton couldn’t be be any more gorgeous a couple, Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger’s Furious Love, which chronicles their stormy union, carried a description of a quarrel they had over who was “more Jewish”.
But she was a devoted friend of Israel her whole life, raising money for the Jewish National Fund and even offering herself as a replacement hostage during the 1976 Entebbe skyjacking.
Mark Steyn: Komen has its awareness raised
After 72 hours being fitted for the liberals’ cement overcoat and an honored place as the cornerstone of the Planned Parenthood Monument to Women’s Choice, Komen attempted to chisel free and back into the good graces of the tolerant: As Nancy Brinker’s statement groveled, “We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives.”
Congratulations! Planned Parenthood certainly raised Nancy’s awareness. I wonder what color ribbon
that comes with? Black and blue? (…)
Planned Parenthood receives almost half a billion dollars – or about 50 percent of its revenues – in taxpayer funding.
A billion dollars seems a lot, even for 322,000 abortions a year. But it enables Planned Parenthood to function as a political heavyweight. Ms Richards’ business is an upscale progressives’ ideological protection racket, for whom the “poor women’s” abortion mill is a mere pretext. The Komen Foundation will not be the last to learn that you can “race for the cure,” but you can’t hide. Celebrate conformity – or else.
So people with tattoos ARE shallow, maladjusted narcissists
Celebrate non-conformity, or else!
Now before I get too far along, I want to make perfectly clear that not only is the piece I’m writing now a column (opinion), but so was the piece in question, “Why Put a Bumper Sticker on a Ferrari,” in which Assistant News Editor Lisa Khoury said she despised tattoos.
Many readers took Khoury’s article personally and upbraided me, my staff, even the university (which operates separately from The Spectrum) for allowing such an opinionated piece in the paper.
Yes, it was biased. Yes, it was her opinion. That’s why it was placed on the opinion page and clearly marked opinion on the URL.
Now that we have that all cleared up, I want to apologize. I want to say I’m personally sorry to the thousands of people who were offended by Khoury’s stance on tattoos
Readers’ comments have nearly destroyed her and it’s awful.
What has baffled me more than anything is how much people care about this issue. Last month, we reported that this university gave money illegally to (then) County Executive Chris Collins’ political campaign and that UB President Satish K. Tripathi broke SUNY regulations. We got almost no response.
I respect people’s attachment to their tattoos and the personal and emotional value they hold for many.
But as a student hoping to make my career as a journalist, I would also like to believe that the public cares about issues that extend beyond themselves.
