It's not being politically correct, it's business. Michael Jordan had a quote that fits in perfect to the situation when asked why he didn't get political. "Republicans buy sneakers too".

ESPN is simply saying "Democrats watch Monday Night Football too".

Maybe I run into the wrong people all the time but they seem happy on unemployment and will look for a job when it runs out. There is no way they paid in as much as they have gotten back, and celebrate when unemployment gets extended.You are absolutely right, they don't seem ashamed. I'm not some heartless guy, just the system is totally messed up. Some people do really deserve it but far away from all shouldn't feel ashamed.
