On the bus the other day I overheard a woman on her cell phone telling her lawyer it was bulls*!t a judge had sentenced her to only 10 months on an assault instead of the 3 year maximum because, as a convicted felon, she was going to lose her government funding housing and wouldn't have a place to live.

She wanted her lawyer to appeal and get her the longer sentence so she'd have a place to stay for free.

Although in her jargon it was, "I'm pulling me a 10 but I coulda gotten 3 large; but that woulda been all good, you know what I'm saying? 'Cause now the man's taking my HUD and I got no place to stay. So I'da been better with the 3 large. Maybe I'll just go slap that b*tch again."


Although everybody on the bus was laughing with her, its a tragically skewed outlook on urban life in America, eh?

Yikes, what a warped outlook on life. I wonder what forces combine to make a person so self-centered and devoid of imagination and hope?
