Is This "Adult Baby" Character Seriously Collecting $860 a Month in Disability?



FoxNews
Talk about the nanny state.
A man living as an "adult baby" in California claims the federal government will allow him to continue collecting Social Security disability checks, after investigators apparently closed the probe into his case requested by Sen. Tom Coburn. Stanley Thornton drew the outrage of Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, after he was featured on the National Geographic Channel show "Taboo" earlier this year. Coburn asked for an investigation from the Social Security Administration, questioning why he was allowed to receive federal benefits -- all the while living part of his life as a baby, sleeping in a crib and drinking from a bottle. But Thornton, in a lengthy essay on his website, said the Social Security Administration and other agencies have cleared him - and he excoriated Coburn for his involvement. "Personally I think Coburn just doesn't like the fact that I role play as a baby and so he wants to see me punished," he wrote. Thornton posted on his site what he claimed to be an August letter from the Social Security Administration."We recently reviewed the evidence in your Social Security disability claim and find that your disability is continuing," the letter said. The letter said the government would be reviewing his case "from time to time" to see if he's still eligible. Thornton was receiving about $860 per month in disability payments, according to The Washington Times. He was living with a woman who acted as his caretaker and was also receiving disability checks until she died earlier this year. Thornton claimed that his disability benefits were based not on his lifestyle as an adult baby, but on a range of conditions -- from post-traumatic stress disorder to ADHD to spinal problems to depression. "All my illnesses have had extensive testing," he wrote on his site.

This guys a piece of work huh? $860 a month to stay home all day and act like a baby? Pretty sweet gig if you ask me.  Lets call a spade a spade. Stanley Thornton is working the government like a motherfucker.  This guy has a fuckin website? Hows he get the money to run that and set that shit up? Meanwhile I'm sitting here blogging my dick of on fisher price my first website blogger.com while baby Huey here lives the high life.  What you got ADHD and back problems? So does every plus 30 year-old male in america. Why do you think we stop dead in our tracks to watch ESPN 4 times in a row repeatedly on Saturday morning when we were in them middle of cleaning the house? Its not cause we love Stuart Scott. Its because we all have ADHD.

Did this pyscho really say at the 2:37 mark that he has been figuring out how to build and adult high chair 2 fuckin years?  I hate to break it to you baby Gerber but It shouldn't take 2 years to build a chair out of wood.  How bad do you want to be a baby? Step your game up bro.
