Once again, Ginger sums up what I've been trying to say. Granted, I've been saying it in 120-character bursts on Twitter.
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.
"the dignity of work", I believe was the hard-working Mr. Romney's phrase.
Sorting Hat put me in Ravenclaw. I knew that. Put my BFF in Hufflepuff. We knew that. She was sad that she is such a Hufflepuff. She said, "Hufflepuffs are always the sidekicks!" I said, "You're no sidekick! You're the one has survived no less than three incidents that totally should have killed you, and you walked away without even an injury like Wolverine. You are clearly the hero!" It's true, too.
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?
I mean, yes, men with kids do work hard, but do they work any harder than men with kids AND jobs?
Why is it even remotely acceptable to ask this question in the first place? What possible purpose does it serve other than to make sure that no choice a woman makes can ever be the right one?
Stay at home with your kids? Lazy, why don't you get a job? Work outside the home? Selfish, how can you let someone else raise your kids? Don't have kids at all? Slut, why aren't you married yet? Have too many kids? Stupid bitch, don't you know about birth control?
Ann Romney doesn't know how many horses she owns - THIS is a relevant point to make when she's trying to paint herself as someone who speaks for working class Americans. Not her choices as a mother.
I'd have ended that with /rant, but let's be honest that tag doesn't close.

Yes. Thanks for articulating that. Your rants are much more coherent than mine!
Skipping on the other end of Pessakh (and the board not working for me earlier, on my morning - or was it our internet connection being annoying again?) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is NoiseDesign's birthday.
Happy birthday, ND! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy birthday day, Drew! Take a day off and celebrate some time!

In another venue, that would have been an editorial.
