Social Security and Medicare will make you eat your grandkids
Run! Hide! Do anything, besides sit on stinky old grandpa's lap. You might think he's just being nice, and might give you some of his hard earned social security check, but children beware. He just might try to eat you.
... a comment Justice (Janis Rogers) Brown made in 2000 about senior citizens. She said: “Today senior citizens blithely cannibalize their grandchildren because they have a right to get as much free stuff as the political system will permit them to exact.” When I asked her about this statement at her hearing, she made no effort to distance herself from it.
So now you know why the filibuster is so important. We can't have judges spreading rumors about grandparents eating their grandchildren, or the whole fabric of society will be torn in two.
I only have one grandparent left, but thank god she gets her social security check and eats pretty well, or I might have gotten chopped up and thrown in one of her casseroles. Come to think of it... whatever does she put in those casseroles?

I liked this quote. I took it for my quote blog- Renegade Mouth. You are cited there for finding it, of course.

And of course Cookie, you do realize that at 81 years old US citizens aren't suppose to eat any more, so the grandchildren are safe if they've made it until then.

I think things will all even out in the wash, don't you?

That's a very valid point, Ellen. And helps to explain why George is hitting on that old lady up the page a ways.
