It's all a matter of sucking the right cocks. By which I mean the Rightwing Kochs.

The children's long nightmare will never end as long as Walsh is their <strike>parent</strike> sperm donor.

White parents trying to get their kids into BXSCI are failing rather badly, to judge from the student population. Also, if you want your kid to get in you'll have to game his/her test scores, because the only residency requirement is called New York City.

Jesus Hussein Fuck. Five years in prison. Sure is a good thing we've already put all the money-laundering bankers in jail.

I'm not really a Joe Walsh expert (thank God), but I've read enough articles to believe that the actual story is something like this:

1. There was an extended period in the past during which he was definitely a deadbeat dad, and during which he at least once advanced the argument that he could not pay child support because he was unemployed.

2. At some point during his brief and shining Congressional career, he reached a negotiated settlement with his ex for the back support. The settlement contained a non-disclosure provision, so we will likely never know the details.

3. His two daughters are now in their twenties, and so were likely not part of the ongoing child-support requirement during Walsh's Congressional gig.

4. His son was underage, and as I read it, Joe was paying child support during his term of office (or at least, subsequent to the settlement). Now that he is once again out of work, he requested a modification to stop paying for the few remaining months his kid is eligible, which is really petty.

The guy is a fucking jerkwad who took every advantage of the system to avoid living up to his responsibilities. I imagine that the reason he settled and resumed paying was because having his Congressional salary garnisheed would have been mighty embarrassing.

<i>This radio show, is going to be another platform right now for me being a voice for freedom</i>

In other words, "I'm just another recycled Glenn Beck wannabe".
