kyburgKilleen Furtney Group public relations firm retained.
Well, why not. It took two insurance companies and a whole team of lawyers to manage one Workmans Comp case after things got complicated enough. I can relate.
Kicker is, these guys work on commission - and they wouldn't take her on unless they knew there was $$$ to be made. And they'll make money for her now, no kidding. It's what they do.
The word is deluge. Frankly, I don't think anyone has been courting the attention - so they called someone in who knows what to do with it. They won't need your welfare, thank you very much. Come again, and would you like fries with that?
The attention - has been nothing less than never-ending, vicious and very profitable for the media outlets at large.
No, I don't think the taxpayer dime is getting NEARLY as much of a workout as the ones being POURED by the bucketload into the advertising machines. Willingly, of everyone's free will, as fast as it can be produced.
Go ahead - post that outrage. Hit the refresh button. You just incremented all those banner ads - congratulations.

People really missed the original intent of that warning. It's not about IF she's right, IF she's a welfare whore, IF she's got her head up her ass.
It's all about how YOU are getting used. YOU are being counted, YOU are getting manipulated, YOU are being taunted at every turn to put your two cents in. (And most of them bad pennies at that.)
Taxes. BAH. There's no money there, compared to the people who make a living selling soap. And they are making it hand over fist and you aren't going to see ANYTHING out of it (unless you think abusive language towards women with children is entertaining).
And you STILL don't know anything. That's the part that kills me. People are walking around repeating this stuff and it's not even what you'd get from the public record, complete or even credible. And of course, the embellishments in the lack of real content is just giggle-worthy by itself. Until someone wants me to take them seriously. Seriously. With the lack of information I KNOW there is?! PUL-LEEEZE.
(And by the way, ladies? You want kids bad enough to do IVF - you're obsessed. If you were seriously listening to these people, of course. *twirls finger*)
*throws up hands* You guys go there. Mean people suck - and then get boring. I got other things to think about.
I guess I should be satisfied that everyone is getting what they want out of this. Me? I know there are things I don't have to be a party to - and this definitely qualifies.
It's none of my business, and nobody is asking me for my opinion. And that's all there is to say about it.
