And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

And Jessica nails it.

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!

In another venue, that would have been an editorial.
