Quote:
"No speak English," said the woman in tweed when asked by a reporter to describe her predicament. She was about 60.
"Oh, don't be silly, mom," said a younger woman sitting beside her, who turned out to be her daughter. "Tell the man. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
The younger woman tersely explained her mother's predicament: Mom owns a house, is on a fixed income; received bills for oil heat last year totaling $2,000, which will be higher this year; needs help.
"I've never asked for anything before," said the older woman. "I've never been in a place like this, either."

While I semi-applaud her method of applying for assistance (because it points out the absurdity of the way we treat illegals), I wonder if she invested a quarter and checked the classifieds for a
FREAKING JOB before she decided to live off everyone else's taxes. Or got some help from this daughter who had nothing better to do than sit around with her.
