And here I thought he would have said "Immigrants we get the job done"

We almost didn't even get a baby though. He's already rolling over and crawling. At flipping 11 weeks. He's been able to pull himself up to a stand since 5 or 6 weeks, so walking is probably inevitable soon (not that I've baby proofed yet). He just came out of the womb more like a 4 month old than a newborn (even…

Yep. My dad owns a small business. During a downturn, he could no longer afford to pay his only full-time employee a fair wage and cover his health insurance (not even required by law), so he helped the guy find another job. My mom, his longtime business partner, pitched in a bit more until things picked up again. My…

OK that makes a lot more sense. Can I ask why you haven’t gotten out completely to do branded writing or something? That actually does pay really well.

Dontcha know you can’t imagine boning a guy over the interwebs without thinking about whether he can be a good imaginary father to your imaginary kids. This commenter killed my ladyboner.

And when countries don’t have monarchies they create their own “royal” families like the Kennedys or the noble house Kardashian to talk about. The moral of the story is that people like talking about stupid shit.

He has reason to be pissed too. When he was born, the line of succession hadn’t been changed to absolute primogeniture yet, so for about a year he was the FIRST in line to the throne, until the evil feminists lawmakers of Sweden changed this.

“What rubs me the wrong way as an actor and as somebody with a disability living in the real world is not that this story is being told. It’s that so frequently this is the only story of disability that is told.”

I’m actually going back through primary coverage from 2007 and 2008 and I’m curious to see how much of that comes up. Right now, mid-2007, I’m mainly surprised to see that John Edwards was still running for so long. It really was an eternity ago.

I think it’s a shame that the spouses of top-tier politicians in the US need to sacrifice their own careers, because the American voter only wants to buy the complete package. The wives of American presidents are impressive people in their own right, some more so than their husbands (the two Presidents that go by the…

Love ya Bette, but you couldn’t have named the chicken Kim KardashiHEN?

“We are so thankful to the Lord that our child is safe. He is home and doing just fine. We extend our heartfelt thanks for the quick action of the Cincinnati Zoo staff. We know that this was a very difficult decision for them, and that they are grieving the loss of their gorilla.”

I used to work at the largest children’s museum in the world, and I can’t tell you how many times I had to help a lost child or parent who’d lost a child locate the other. We had a special protocol for lost kids that we had to use several times a day at the very least, even on slow days. I once had a 3yo girl burst…

I freaking applaud parents who have the balls (metaphorical or otherwise) and good sense to leash the runners. I was a runner. I was a leashed kid. The leash is why I’m alive as an adult. And as an adult I get plowed into by unleashed runners. Happened at the zoo, kid cut my knees right out and it was one of those…

Yeah, it’s getting kinda old. It’s somehow uber cool to hate on people that follow religion. I don’t go to church but that’s my choice. What makes me so high and mighty to judge how others spend their Sunday?

I just read an article that had a lot of eye-witness accounts. I don’t want to share it though, because I feel like it pretty irresponsibly shares the lady’s workplace and other info she has since deleted from Facebook.

Thank you for saying that! I’ve pulled kids I don’t know away from dangerous things (like the kid I saw wandering out into the street, gah) & if I had seen that little boy climbing up the barrier you better believe I would have grabbed him. At a certain point, people need to stop being worried about offending other…

That was my first thought too! People kept saying “maybe don’t bring your kids to a zoo/watch them around dangerous animals” and I mean, it’s a zoo. Its bread and butter are families with kids coming to look at these animals, including and maybe especially the dangerous ones. I assume they designed it with said…

Oh also the time she was standing suspiciously still next to an escalator, turns out she had her tongue on the moving railing and was just letting it drag by, just moving millions of new microbes into her mouth every second. It was great.

Of course it’s a big one, but she still doesn’t deserve death threats and calls for child services to take away her children. From reports, it looks like she was taking care of multiple kids and an infant. I don’t know who else was with her, but her attention was obviously pulled in lots of directions. Maybe she…
