RICK SCARY AND PROSTI-TUITION

Welcome America to the 3rd World. Probable GOP pres candidate Rick Perry held a 1/2 full prayer rally as 100,000 swarmed in hopes of getting free school supplies. Remember when public school was free? But we gotta make cuts to pay for war so the gov't can't give away books anymore.

("Taylor" is the pseudonym she uses with men she meets online. Neither she nor any of the other women interviewed for this article permitted their real names be used.)
