Update XVII: I Ate The Strawberry (The REAL, AUTHENTIC Update)

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

If he would just get on the dole all these things would be in reach, and by that I mean NOT reaching for mom's purse.  

What universe do you live in?

The universe where Bushie can get on disability (Bushie has a number of conditions that would qualify) instead of going from job to job to job and draining his parents' bank account.  He needs SOMETHING stable.  Pride of all things stops him from doing this.

Then he could actually do mission trips, preaching, and church work; the things he actually seems passionate about.

clock watching and over-eating arent conditions that warrant a disability claim.

Morbid obesity, Tourette's, severe OCD, and whatever else he could be diagnosed with are.

If you consider that the criteria are probably not applied too harshly,

An initial rejection rate of around two thirds (bumped up only slightly by the appeals process) suggests otherwise. Eligibility for state benefits is a complicated area and inconsistencies are inevitable and unavoidable, but it's best not to assume that official guidelines are a joke, especially on the basis of 'well everyone knows that... etc'. It should also be noted that is no guarantee that any inconsistencies would work in favour of any given individual; there will also be people who are genuinely eligible who get rejected.

That is not what 'severe' means in this sort of context (and frankly that's a list that would be laughed out of consideration). His probable main problem is an undiagnosed one and, anyway, if he has it he's high functioning.

I know Jeff is enamored with the "American Dream", but I don't see how being a preacher or church volunteer would change that.  He could still have a wife, house, family, and work that is fulfilling to him.  Is it the fact that the wife would have to be employed?  Does Oklahoma know that it's common for women to work or has it not gotten there yet?

bushie should become a preacher at one his churches.

in his denomination it requires no formal schooling or study.

the church would provide him with a place to live.

being overweight certainly isnt frowned upon,  in fact, those fundamentalist enjoy eating almost as much as they love the lord.

he would get to visit with sickly old people and young children.  two demographics he enjoys to love on.

Good post.

I have no idea why Bushie doesn't do this.  A born-again Oklahoman lady fat would be all over him.  He could have all he proposes to love and want .  

Do you think it's a desire to make Dad proud by putting on a shirt and tie?

Bush might as well apply though. No harm if denied.

[King]

Bush might as well apply though. No harm if denied.

Problem is Bushie isn't willing to fight for it.  If he really wanted it, he could get it. As his, he argues he doesn't qualify for #2.

I'm sure he does want it.  Paid to love on kids, take naps, preach, and watch TV?  It's obviously his staunchly Republican family that will not allow him to take a gov't check like some lazy (fill in the blank).

Baptist is the wrong denomination for a clergyman with Tourette's. If he decided to be Pentacostal, it would work out much better. They view shaking, screaming, etc as evidence of possession by the Holy Spirit. Seriously. Look it up on youtube if you're unfamiliar. It's hilarious.

[Joe Republic]

Applying for free healthcare from an Indian tribe he shares 3% heritage with: "It's my right as an Indian citizen to take advantage of the benefits they have made available to me."

Applying for disability allowance to compensate the laundry list of physiological and psychological disorders he suffers from: "I'M NOT DISABLED I HAVE TOO MUCH DIGNITY AND YOURE ALL LIARS"

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Al thinks all Bushie can do is clean municipal toilets but isn't disabled enough to go on disability. He doesn't have the physical capability to clean toilets.

[WalterMitty]

dont you all think that bushie should seek medical help for his many issues before he just gets on disability and calls it a life?

i actually think getting disability would be a bad thing for bushie.  he would likely die even sooner.

[memphis]

If he does choose to apply for disability, it should be for psychiatric reasons, not medical ones. Being fat and having headaches doesn't impress Uncle Sam much. They'll cut you a check for having a screw loose though. Maybe he could get Tiffanye's help. IIRC, she gets paid for having the bipolar.

he has literally zero chance without a lawyer.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Good Sunday Evening, I am feeling quite a bit better tonight.  I haven't coughed much since the lung I gave away this morning and I haven't sneezed or blown my nose all day.  Unless I wake up coughing like crazy in the morning, I should be able to avoid the doctor.  So, I will resume my job search in the morning and see what I can get accomplished on that end.

Oh jesus.  How long until Fox picks up on this one and blames it on Obama's dependence culture? 

That said, Bushie should look into this line of work.  Certainly it's more noble than Rainbow Vacuums.

The beggar is a member of a key FOX News demographic so no chance.

Bushie, is Joe Dorman the only Democrat you're going to vote for this year?

[IceSpear]

Bushie, is Joe Doorman the only Democrat you're going to vote for this year?

If he's voting for Inhofe he really needs to cease his affiliation with the Democratic Party immediately.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I am voting for Inhofe's opponent, though I am voting for Lankford since I know him personally.  I'm also voting Democrat for State Superintendent.

I know him and talked with him during his tenure as head of the Falls Creek Baptist Assembly Camp in Southern Oklahoma.

Mostly economic issues such as education, health care, and such.
