Book of Handouts Article 11/27/2007

I'm not going to quote it, I'll let you read this one on your own. The link is here.

Not only is this lady mentally retarded - hey I'm not using fancy PC words like mentally challenged or mentally disabled these words are reserved for describing liberals - but she just overcame breast cancer. She couldn't enjoy her birthday and her mother would like to throw her a belated birthday party (probably also to celebrate winning the battle against cancer) but can't because she's on a limited income (probably means she's on disability or social security or works for $7.25/hour).

Anyone who battled cancer and won deserves a celebration. I question the motive for the party though and don't think it should be in the Times Liberal Book of Handouts. Is the party to celebrate her birthday or her victory in the battle against cancer? A birthday party is usually celebrated with friends and family and unless it's a huge milestone like 40 or 50 or 100 it's not thrown with a fancy DJ and catered food. She's 32. I think they're going overboard for a birthday party.

If it's to celebrate the fact that she conquered her bout with cancer why not turn it into a fundraiser? You're asking people to donate to this party why not ask them to donate to a greater cause like cancer research? There would be money raised to cover the catering hall rental and DJ plus a surplus to give to charity.
