Anonymous asked: Hello, I am an Atheist and proud of it! I'm 17, and was born and raised into a Catholic family.

Anonymous asked: This is sad. What a dumb bitch, and c**t you are! 1) Show is YOUR child's birth certificates, and 2) you are calling women liars?? So the fact that my mother and family friend looked exactly the way Sarah did at all those times didn't have their child? bull shit. You guys and your "truth seekers" are a bunch of low life's who have no respect. NO ONE cares about this story.

Last year, Florida became the first state to pass and fully implement a bill mandating “suspicion-less” drug testing (i.e., drug-testing without probably cause) of all applicants for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The law mandated that all applicants pay for the cost of the drug test themselves, and that they be reimbursed if their test came back negative. Gov....
