Do let us know when you hear from the man’s lawyer, will you?

Here’s something else I bet they say down in Greenville: That poor boy is a coupla biscuits shy of a full Sunday dinner.

You’re not taking this seriously.

You picked up on that, did you? Can’t get anything past you.

Man, I wish I could be there to watch when the first lawyer Tierney contacts laughs him out of the office.

What? No love for the WAR-bitch-get-some guy?

Also to Norbizness who was making fun of Jonah back before anyone had ever heard of him.

The effect is similar to that of a chimp wearing a top hat and monocle.

Hey, watch it!

I happen to believe that was the primary factor in my decision in 2008.

Now I know he didn’t really take any time to get to know Palin before choosing her as his running mate. But I somehow thought he got to know a little about her afterwards.

Ready to be President? Sweet sainted mother of Edward R. Murrow!

Freeburg! Whooo!

I am a veritable babe-in-the-woods when it comes to the intricacies of the twittertwats. What does “multiple unsolicited mentions to other users” mean? Sounds like spam to me.

Hold on now. Donohue is going to recruit religious leaders to protest against the offending image…by distributing copies of the offending image?

That strategy needs something, but I’m not sure what.

The cover-up is revealing.

C minus. Bill, see me after class.

The vast majority of the stay-at-home parents I know around the country all are comfortably middle to upper-middle class

There ya go again, Ms. Kael.

Much better. Thanks.

Adding the extra sentence to the quote doesn’t change the meaning or my objection.

The choice for a parent to stay home is simply NOT “a bourgeois indulgence that’s only available to the financially privileged.” To say so is presumptuous and offensive to families that make significant sacrifices to allow a parent to stay home with the kids.

Plenty of families elect to live on the income of one earner so the other can take on the role of full-time parent, and this includes families across all income groups.

Read the snip I helpfully provided in my comment. Rude Pundit asserts that the choice to be a stay at home parent is a “bourgeois indulgence.” I call bullshit.

Ann Romney notwithstanding, I say the Rude Pundit’s view exemplifies why Republicans have been able to make hay on this issue.

You are correct that the Romneys could afford domestic help. It’s a groaning mistake to say that every family who makes a similar choice enjoys the same privileges.

Choosing to be a stay-at-home parent (and that includes the increasing number of dads that do it) for the last generation or so is a bourgeois indulgence that’s only available to the financially privileged.

Codswallop.

Some folks choose to have a kid or several with the antique notion that they’ll raise ‘em up themselves rather than hiring someone else to do it for them. If there’s a “bourgeois” choice in the matter, it’s having the means to subcontract even part of the job of parenting to others.

If someone grows a backyard garden as a way to put food on the table, we don’t call that a bourgeois choice. Why is this any different? Plenty of families choose a more modest standard of living so kids can be raised by their own parents instead of hired help.

Now hold on there, folks.

Let’s remember why Rosen said such awful, awful things about poor little Ann Romney. It’s because Ann’s husband is running around saying that Ann totally gets the struggles and problems of working women in America, because she…you know…has a vagina too! Rosen is quite correct to point out the difference between “women” and “working women,” that difference being “working.”

Context matters, people.

That’s not Angela Lansbury in that picture is it? Looks like there was more than murder going on in Cabot Cove.

OK, Mark, you have our permission to be pissed at whoever took your bike. Go on and shout your anger into your pillow or into the closet or whatever.

What you shouldn’t do is make up an imaginary picture of the thief and then blame all the people who look like your mental image.

I swear, it’s like he’s 6 years old.
