A Modest Proposal
"Pete Wilson hasn't just talked about ending welfare as we know it in California; he has dramatically reduced welfare grants by putting people back on the road to self-reliance -- a program that the Los Angeles Times called a model for the nation." Petie Boy, youre way ahead of your time. One of
Petes most innovative ideas has met with some
initial resistance in the liberal press, but Im
confident that not I wanted to use my column this weekto make the first public announcement of Petes next legislative initiative. Here it is, in its entirety: PROPOSAL TO END WELFARE Since numerous validated scholarly studies (conducted by the jacko Center for Welfare Reform) demonstrate that most welfare moms are attractiveness-impaired, suffering from bad hair, and/or are carrying around the evidence of the consumption of one too many boxes of Archway Cookies; and Since these studies have also demonstrated that these welfare moms are either unmarried or unable to keep one of the various fathers of their several children around due to their attractiveness-impaired condition; and Since these same studies also demonstrate that being butt ugly prevents these welfare moms from getting hired (hey, just look at all the hot babes on TV or the movies -- how many would have gotten the work if their bellies were floppy or their skin imperfect? And how many are single, poor welfare moms?); and Since everyone knows that the only way to make someone self-sufficient is not to feed them, but to provide them the skills and show them how they can feed themselves, the State of California is going to be the first state to do away with welfare entirely, and replace it by presenting the following options to any welfare moms who qualify. Petes and jackos Six Point Plan for Welfare Reform
It is common knowledge that women with substantial baboonzas are able to obtain meaningful work at any number of high paying professions, including but not limited to:
Most of the women in the above occupations are able to work short hours and in the evening for a big chunk of change. This is particularly appealing, because if they have children to care for during the day, they can do so themselves, instead of burdening the state with having to pay for day care. And I am sure their self-esteem will increase drastically when they are self-sufficient, tax paying citizens. One of the benefits of Dr. Rosenblatts proposition is that for a mere four of five thousand dollar investment, a woman can get herself removed from the welfare rolls, and have a career.
A well-toned rear is a very valuable commodity in most cities, and Dr. Barbara has handled some of the best behinds in Hollywood.
These are the words of hairdresser to the stars, Dr. Josie Ebert, who has agreed to make his services available on a 24 hour a day basis, as long as Pete can get him booked on 10 or 20 of Sally Jesse Raphaels makeover shows. Dr. Ebert was the stylist who had such tremendous success on Sallys highly-rated "Help! My daughter looks like a transvestite!" segment.
There are, believe it or not, some very sick, perverted men out there who take an unhealthy interest in such publications, thus helping to provide remuneration for someone who would otherwise be on the welfare rolls.
At the very least, we could save quite a bit of money if the children could construct the elaborate costumes their mothers must wear when they are peddling their wares. And Im sure the garment industry, what with the tremendous crackdown on illegal immigrants Petes administration has made over the past few years, could use some extra (and cheap) help. Not only will the foregoing Hence, the motto of Petes new
