Oh Dear: "Adult Baby" Collecting Money From Social Security Disability, And Senator Coburn Would Like To Know Why

Now, before you make fun of this guy for being an adult baby -- do check out the picture of the woman who babies him, and you tell me he's not Winning!, as another tiger-blooded man might say.

He said he has been living at least a partial adult baby lifestyle since his teenage years, though he does wear adult clothes when he goes out, fearing embarrassment otherwise.

Mr. Coburn said Mr. Thornton “is cognizant that his choice to live as an adult baby violates social norms,” though, and through both his projects and the adult baby support website he runs, www.bedwettingabdl.com, he appears to have the skills to hold down a job. That, the lawmaker said, should make him ineligible for disability payments.

Mr. Coburn also questions why Miss Dias, as a former nurse, collects SSI benefits, “since she is able to provide childcare” to Mr. Thornton.

In an extensive biography on his web page, Mr. Thornton says he worked as a security guard for a year and a half but said trauma stemming from childhood abuse, combined with other mental problems, made it impossible for him to hold the job, and he has been receiving SSI payments for most of the last 10 years.

And now that you're saying Man, Ace, I needs to get me some of that, well, I can't deliver this Venus of the Playpen to you, but you can watch a video at I Own The World.

I owe someone a thank-you for this, but maybe this is one of those stories where you don't want acknowledgement.
