Buffistas

Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

However, a women with a couple of Cadillacs and an indeterminate number of horses doesn't have to.

I wasn't talking about Anne Romney, and I guess I should have made that clearer, though I did assume most people wouldn't think I was rushing to her defense.

I meant the average SAHM, the one without a staff at her disposal, works her ass off. And the average mother who works outside the home also works her ass off.

It seems like stating that one of those groups works harder than the other could have a divide-and-conquer effect, which seems like political gamesmanship.

Ok, Gillian Anderson has small sons named Oscar and Felix. It's like The Odd Couple in her house, except with 5 and 3 year olds! (Seriously?!)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oscar and Felix

OMG FALLING RIGHT BACK IN LOVE NOW

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do wish we could focus on the class warfare....

Yeah, Jessica's line about Ann Romney not knowing how many horses she owns is pretty killer.

Oh, wait, you mean how the GOP is engaged in class warfare? Yeah, that too. Erm.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I know someone who named her first child - a son - Calvin. And then when her second child -a daughter - was born he husband had to talk her out of naming her Hobbes. Seriously!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, I mean that those of us not in the 1% should be focusing on that divide and tax policy and etc etc, not these bullshit Mommy Wars or whatever.

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

Stephanie Cutter one of Arom's defenders said something along the lines of "no one works harder than a stay at home Mom" which is insulting to woman who work outside the home AND take care of kids,

And responding to it in this way is insulting to women whose work is taking care of their kids. No matter which side you take in the Mommy Wars, women lose. All of us.

Yeah, Jessica's line about Ann Romney not knowing how many horses she owns is pretty killer.

Having fact-checked this, technically it's Mitt who doesn't know how many horses his wife owns. I still think it's a safe assumption that "How many horses do you have again, honey?" isn't a conversation most working class husbands and wives are having.
