How could that be the winner?
Foreclosures have absolutely nothing to do with family leave. Eligibility for family leave has nothing to do with homeownership or means testing.
The ones about monetizing the driveway were much better, and actually made sense.
Lame
But not as lame as Lautenberg refusing to debate.

Answer to FA
The reason is simple. Paid Family Leave is a welfare program. The type you lefties love because it encourages people NOT to work.
So now that he's lost his house, he can go on welfare (Paid Family Leave) and collect a government handout -- a goal liberals have for every American.
why no comic about Javier Inclan?
I think a comic is warranted for the Inclan situation -- certainly there was no problem posting a comic about Jeannine LaRue and she did nothing other than better herself. What's with the favortisim?
Seriously.
Mine was along the lines of "Since you live in Long Branch, we were going to take you by eminent domain anyway" but maybe that was too timely.
