made a point of saying the network did *not* pay her for the interview.
That's because NBC doesn't pay for *interviews.* They do, however, pay licensing fees for photos and video.
Which is why, I assume in my blackhearted way, that NBC very pointedly said that they did not pay *for the interview*; not that they didn't pay OctoMom for *anything*. That way it isn't a lie.
(I say all that not having facts about whether money changed hands; I only know the specifics about what NBC does and does not pay for.)
I'm sure she'll have lots of time for grad school with eight newborns.
And, okay, fuck up your kids, cost the taxpayers money, you aren't the first, and you won't be the last.
But I can't forgive her for making me agree with Billo the Clown.
I'm amazed that all 6 embryos took, to the degree of two sets of twins. She ought to donate some of those eggs, they're apparently very sturdy.
I really don't want this woman's genes swimming around in the pool any more than they already are.
She doesn't think the government assistance she gets is welfare! Because she
neeeeeeds it!
This is why I can't pay any more attention.
crap, they just let one of my co-workers go. He was kind of difficult to work with (INTERUPTER EXTRAORDINAIRE) but basically a nice guy. And he has a family. Supposedly got a nice severance at least. And supposedly my job is still safe (I'm easy to work with!) and the company is doing fine. Still it's unnerving. There are only 8 of us here now (including the 3 partners).

So welfare is what other people get, because they're lazy leaches. Sorta' reminds me of that article on people in the anti-abortion movement who have abortions - the article was titled something like, "Every abortion is immoral except mine."
Eep, Lisa. We lost some people around here yesterday, and it's no fun at all.
But I can't forgive her for making me agree with Billo the Clown.
I love Erika. So so much.
Oh, Lisa, I am so sorry. You, too, Brenda. I was wondering what came of your meeting from yesterday morning.
