    Ah, but you see, Obama wants to pull the plug on Grandma, and JTP only wants to beat the sh**t out of her. So he's better!

    If they can build a penis for transexuals perhaps they can rebuild one for the baby? Is that possible?

    Aren't babysitting co-ops as old as dirt? Still a good idea though.

    @J.D.Regent: Yeah, when I was growing up all the moms in my neighborhood had a system that involved poker chips to keep track of babysitting duties. A chip a kid a half hour, or something like that.

    So not revolutionary.

    Gaah, that poor baby. What can you possibly do for him? Maybe they could raise him as a girl? That is just too, too terrible to comprehend.

    Usually when your argument consists of threatening physical violence, it means you have nothing worthwhile to add in the first place. At least that's what I learned from experience. So, if anyone wants to disagree......

    In all serious, you are correct. JTP has absolutely nothing intelligent or worthwhile to say and is grasping at straws to stretch out his fifteen minutes as much as possible.

    I don't understand why everybody is so upset at Joe. Joe sees that Pelosi has sinned and is full of tarnation. He wants to beat her so that she can find God. See, not so bad, or, uh well, if the phrase "beat the tar out of" exists then it is probably because people actually did it and that is so wrong. Beat people so they can find God!

    Stoneybrook, CT mother of five and gym teacher Kristin Thomas posted on her mommyblog, 'This babysitting co-op idea is nothing new. My friends and I were doing it in middle school. In fact, you can reach us every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon between five-thirty and six at one convenient number. Support a local, mom-run business in the recession!'Comments on the blog entry included 'Oh plz Kristy no moar - Caludia,' 'I notice you didn't mention my Montessori playgroup and our organic urban farming initiative - Dawn' and 'If you make me dig out that notebook again I WILL CRY - Mary Anne =^.^=.'

    The women and J-school study is fucking annoying. Women get into J-school merely to get glamourous sounding jobs and get into PR and advertising? Please! Ugh.
    Also, I work for a newspaper, and some of the most kick-ass local reporters are female (Not me! I'm not a reporter. I'm a wuss!) And in the local news media, it is a well-known fact that the best camerapeople are female too. So shut up, study.

    @Casquivana: I'm afraid to read that article. I mean, yes, 90 percent of my journalism program consisted of women, but it had nothing to do with "creativity." And the chicks who wanted to get "glamourous jobs?" Yeah, they dropped out halfway through the program.

    Wow, there is something about that women in journalism article that totally pisses me off. "I know the market is attractive, they make a good salary, and it’s a pretty basic concept. If you can do that well, you have stability, and that’s attractive to a lot of females, especially because you can’t just be a housewife anymore."
    Yeah, its all about stability now that I can't go and be a housewife anymore.
    I'm sorry but almost everything about that article bothered me - the reasons give too broad a generalization for both genders. Ugh.

    @Conchie Birdie: Plus, that quote is just flat-out wrong. The journalism market is not stable. People are either being laid-off or taking buyouts all over the place. Most outlets are downsizing. Whoever wrote that has no idea what they are talking about.

    From the J-school article:

    If you can do that well, you have stability, and that’s attractive to a lot of females, especially because you can’t just be a housewife anymore.

    Can you choke on a sentence? Because I'm still coughing up bits of horror over that.
