Or even the ones who do stay home, but without full time maid service, and child care any time they need a break? Also, yes stay-at-home Moms work hard, but do they work any harder than Moms who take care of kids AND have paying jobs besides?

They shouldn't have had sex.
Ah, yes. Those people who think we live in a world in which spouses never die, leave or lose their jobs.

It's a tempest in a teapot. It's clear what Rosen meant was about economic struggles and it's a valid point.
Also, there's a world of difference between someone who takes on as much as he or she wants to and someone who takes on as much as he or she needs to.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Woot Olivia! And fie on the bullshit, all the inevitable bullshit, that's going to be tossed around this election. Ugh.
I have work to do before bed and I don't want to do it! Wah. What I want to do is play on Pottermore. It's finally out of beta and I'm finally on it, and I don't even get a chance to play.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Anyone hear from ita? I haven't seen her around.

Burrell, have you gotten to the Sorting Hat in Pottermore? I finally broke down and signed up. I have told myself that now that I've been Sorted (Slytherin!), I am not going to spend a lot of time playing. Let's see if I can keep to that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Not to mention of course that Romney gave a speech in January where he said that women with kids on welfare should work - gives them pride or some horseshit.
In that context, how would he characterize his wife?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I finally broke down and signed up.
Same here! The Sorting Hat gave me two options to choose from at the end - Slytherin and Hufflepuff. That's an odd combo.
It is comforting that it's so easy to counter Christian conservatives with Jesus.
I honestly believe that a lot of the bullshit we're seeing from those 'Christian' conservatives is what the second commandment really meant about talking the lord's name in vain.

I think the "conservative" Christians need to sit down and watch Godspell!
Seriously, I am not Christian, and I have worked on Godspell twice, and now I have serious guilt if I refuse to give money to people at the bus stop who ask me. I almost always give unless I seriously do not have cash with me (which actually happens a lot). I am not rich at all, but even giving $1 every time someone asks, it is not more than $10 a month.
