Re: For Want of a Paid Electric Bill, 3 Boys Die in Fire

Well maybe with 3 less kids it will be easier for her to pay her bills.. Or harder because her food stamp and welfare amount will drop substantially. She better get on her back and expel 3 more kids from her loose vagina to get the government money back.
