“Where are all these single women "with resources" who are happy because they had babies without having to have a husband" some of you are talking about?

I'm a big ol' Austin liberal with a degree in business and journalism and I had a great career in my early 30's when I decided to have kids. I was married. I am not made of steel like Mika or I guess so many of you. I collapsed. Fell into a ball. I could achieve and excel at my job or my kids (really that was just achieving, not excelling) but not both so the job had to go. Thank God my husband was able to step it up.

Over years and a patchwork of nannies, friends and preschools I pieced together a successful PR firm. Until hubby had to move - and his job was the big haul, we moved.
Now, 45, here we go! Yes, my career suffered.

I was one of the women "with resources" before I got married to have kids. If I had taken that step alone - with all my plans: preschools and nannies and everything else I had lined up so my career wouldn't suffer - I shudder to think how I would have managed my new situation and the inability to concentrate on "having it all" at once or any other time.

Listen, I feel like a failure because of this but I think smart women who are planning on kids need to know.”

“Right on! I love him and love to hate him!”

“Don't say that Miksmaster! He will try to gain conservative street cred and I think this is really reasonable and gives me hope!”

“Thank you Joe.”

“Sickening. There will be no one to call out Fox's lies...Constant lies.
Horrifying.”

“I love my iPhone. It is almost worth be bad coverage from AT&T. I'll be glad when I can go back to Verizon and CDMA.”

“I bet Qualcomm (inventor of CDMA) will re-engineer that phone for them.”

“It is frightening that these representatives (used in the loosest sense) are afraid to answer. But the silver lining is, they are devouring themselves from the inside out if they are willing to run from everyone in fear they will pis s off the wingn uts in their districts.
Truly frightening.”

“They will say Geneva Convention is for Sissies.

Like Kyoto: "Nobody tells us what to do."

They're idiots.”

“He should pull out. He won't. Too much of a man for that, of course.
He should make sure they get no stimulus money. NONE. They should loose the head of their Law School and Science and Engineering schools to posts in the Administration. They are soooo needed and I'm sure ASU can spare them to an administration run by such a young, inexperienced man.
He's the leader of the free world for Christ's sake, you idiots. You are not honoring him. He is honoring you. You idiots.”

“First off, Van Susteren is a hack lawyer and a hack "journalist". She works for FOX people. They don't give a damn about her "journalistic misconduct". As a matter of fact, it gives her street cred. So just stop that.
But, save up on the story of Sarah becoming a Scientologist. That will be highly useful should she try to raise the pitchfork crowds again. Don't blow this story out too soon.”

“I am SO GLAD I'm not the only one Jonesing for campaign news. I just posted on my FB wall that I need to read a book and exercise and do things to help me detox from campaign news.
I feel the DTs coming on...”

“I think the whole Rick Davis thing is a distraction...this is what came out last week - McCain got $190,550 from Fannie/Freddie.

McCain got 190,550 - $169k from "officers"
then $21,550 from employees - the number reported most widely

Barack got lots too, but it's made to look like Barack is more beholden to Fannie/Freddie
Barack got $16,000 from "officers"
then $126,349 from individual employees - the number reported most widely and pointed to constantly by McCain camp.

Here's a link to the story on CNN: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/19/fact-check-did-obama-profit-from-fannie-and-freddie/”

“Arianna,
Where is the story about Dana Perino's statement to the press yesterday - that Osama Bin Laden was not the mastermind of 9/11. Where the hell is the story?”

“The ones who fall for it are to stupid to ever realize it. Don't you realize that?
They vote from emotion and prejudice. They worry about who to drink beer with...which means they voted Bush in (sort of).
They would never complain about paper trails and still blame democrats for their taxes.
Finally, the thing the Repubs are so good at is making a $20k earner support things that will help a $2million earner. They fall for it everytime.”

“"John McCain doesn't want to protect kindergardeners from predators."

Mr. Obama, that's what you call fighting back.”

“That gets an "Amen, Bro" from me too!”

“This is the one I meant to say "There's one in every crowd" to.”

“There's one in every crowd.”

“I think she looked great before...but didn't believe the Size 2 thing when she said it. Her hip-to-waist ration were not that of a girl who wears a 2. I wish she had said size 8 or 6 is actually skinny in most countries where good food and good nutrition are available!
Now she has hit size 0 or 1 and I see no curves except those which bring in question of "unnatural" breast size.”
