I received an alarming e-mail from alert reader David this morning. Apparently the government will be handing out free cell phones to every derelict, degenerate, and bum who is already getting a handout. Here's the ad.....Through our Lifeline Service you will receive FREE cellular service, a FREE cell phone, and FREE Minutes every month! SafeLink Wireless Service does not cost anything – there are no contracts, no recurring fees and no monthly charges.
Notice how they keep emphasizing "FREE". This is outrageous! Like the fabulous cash and prizes these derelicts already receive, it doesn't cost them anything, but it costs me plenty. Why should I care if some crack-head on foodstamps in the hood has a cell-phone or not? The only person he'll be speed-dialing is his pusher to get another fix, or the local welfare office to demand, "Where my check at?"
In case you want to know who's eligible to be given luxuries that you work to be able to afford, here are the absurdly generous criteria
You are eligible if.....
You already participate in other State or Federal assistance program such as Federal Public Housing Assistance, Food Stamps and Medicaid.OR
Your total household income is at or below 135% of the poverty guidelines set by your State and/or the Federal Government.
Slowly, perniciously, and steadily, the government is removing anything negative about being a lazy, good-for-nothing bum. With welfare, medicare, foodstamps, HUD housing, free school lunches, now free cell phones, and other very generous hand-out programs, what's the reason for even trying to get a job, be responsible, get educated, stay off drugs, an not have babies? Insidiously, the government is making as many people as possible dependent on it for everything. And the only thing they'll want in return is votes.
Reader David was right....."Americans, hold on to your wallets".

You are eligible if: You already participate in other State or Federal assistance programs such as Federal Public Housing Assistance, Food Stamps and Medicaid or are currently an employee of AIG(former employees of AIG will be considered on a case by case basis). Acceptance of this free cell phone plan by AIG employees will in no way affect the upcoming bonus you will also be receiving.
Excellent take anon!
Unbelievable.
I suspect this has nothing to do with aiding the needy. This is undoubtedly an agreement between the cellphone company and the politicians that benefits both of them.
Hey, dumbass--I just so happen to BE one of these lazy morons you yell and scream about here as being able to get a free cell phone.
Funny--After working my ass off for a number of years, going to college and earning a PROFESSORSHIP in my chosen field, I became an ASTROPHYSICIST and spent the rest of my working history doing work you obvious can't even spell, much less understand the concept of!
Now I am on permanent DISABILITY due to injuries and age-related health issues catching up to me. I AM on this phone program--and it is something that is very useful for me. I keep it with me at all times in the event I fall or some other emergency that prevents me from getting help from 911, amongst other reasons.
You need to wake up and get a fucking clue--not all of us are worthless garbage like you show quite thoroughly by your lunatic ravings. I've often thought it was high time someone chlorinated the gene pool--save us the trouble and do us all a favor--start with yourself. That'll make the world a LITTLE better at least!
Go find Charlie Sheen and hang out with him for a while--shining his shoes, doing his laundry, taking out his trash...Your blog shows that's exactly your level of intelligence--or lack thereof.
Funny how those with the least amount of brains scream about things the loudest--and haven't a CLUE about life.
