* So I guess the war on women is officially over, Democrats having to pull out after suffering heavy losses thank to Hilary Rosen. “We thought those stupid bimbos would welcome us with open arms!” the Democrat were heard saying.
There are apparently a lot of myths out there about stay at home moms, as many people (especially condescending know-nothings) seem to think that’s just a rich people thing, now. A lot of the women who stay at home are those with lower education who couldn’t make a lot of money outside the home anyway. It really is a choice for most people if its a two parent household. We get ourselves in situations — especially with debt — where both parents need to work, but it’s not our income but our life choices that cause that. This is just another one of those areas where people want to believe things are out of their hands, but its not true. I’ve known families who earn a lot less than mine who made the choice and the sacrifices to have a stay at home mom. And it is a sacrifice, but it’s often worth it. I mean, my wife was a CPA and could earn a pretty good income outside the home if she wanted which added to mine would be… hurm…
What was I talking about? I got distracted thinking about lots of money.
* Oh, some real news happened. North Korea launched a long range missile. Except it didn’t go long range; it just plopped in the ocean.
We should probably do something about North Korea being all defiant and stuff and doing things like this, but we got our own problems right now. Gas prices are high and stuff. Maybe we can wait until they have a working missile. Then we’ll do something.
* 12 Christians in Iran are awaiting verdict for being “apostates”. You know, if you have to threaten people with prison or execution to keep them in your religion, maybe your religion isn’t so great. Just a thought.
* If you’re kind of short and want to do something about, holding a gun makes you appear taller according to a new study (Sceince!). So just get some elevator shoes and a magnum revolver and no one will look down on you. Or at least they’ll be polite.
* Wisdom of the Day from lauren ashley bishop:
that rocket hasn’t worked a day in its life!
* Newark mayor Corey Booker suffers second degree burns while rescuing neighbor from a fire. He wins the IMAO “Not Completely Useless Politician” award.
Three cheers for Corey Booker! Not only is he willing to put his life at risk to save a neighbor, but he also has a sense of humor:

It’s really difficult to believe that he’s a Democrat.
I can’t imagine a scenario where Obama would pull a neighbor from a fire.
I wouldn’t be convicted of being an apostate, I’m an infidel.
Booker is the last good Democrat in America. We need to draw him to the light side of the force.
“12 Christians in Iran are awaiting verdict for being “apostates”. You know, if you have to threaten people with prison or execution to keep them in your religion, maybe your religion isn’t so great. Just a thought.”
Just to be clear, we’re talking about “the religion of peace” here, right?
Perhaps we should show N. Korea how a long-range missile is supposed to work.
@hwuu — He might push a neighbor into a fire, because we all have to sacrifice.
So I’m either a whore who managed to land a rich husband to keep me in bon-bons, or I’m a moron who couldn’t work even if I wanted to?
This just keeps getting better and better.
@les A rich neighbor, to be fair.
@ghengis The navies potato gun is way cooler than North Korea’s missile.

Sorry that would be Navy’s
My last Estes rocket went further than North Korea’s
The occupant will give a speech today about those poopy head North Korea’s defying his greatness and all. The speech will take place after they clean him up from crying in the closet all night.
axlerude: Mr. occupant, the peasants are starting to pay attention to the economy again.
occupant: Quick make fun of women and homosexual women
axlerude: We could get one of our cnn drones to insult moms!
occupant: Right on! Now time for a smoke and a round of golf.
So should we get the North Koreans a sympathy card after their rocket flopped?
Does Hallmark make Erectile Dysfunction sympathy cards?
I bet someecards.com would have one…
“Oh, some real news happened. North Korea launched a long range missile. Except it didn’t go long range; it just plopped in the ocean.”
mmmm rocket flavored tuna
*from newark* That’s MY mayor! yeah that’s right? What has YOUR mayor done lately!? *acts all smug*
Oh, some real news happened. North Korea launched a long range missile. Except it didn’t go long range; it just plopped in the ocean.
We cannot judge this a failure until we know what they were aiming for.
Not knocking what the mayor of Newark did, but, my mayor lowered my property taxes…and that’s good enough for me.
“Japan on alert in case North Korean missile threatens island”
Honorable general sir! Should we consider ti a threat if it can’t get off the launch pad?
Double face palm!!
The war on women is better than a North Korean missile. At least there have been casualties.
Can we call a cease fire in the war on women long enough for them to make pie? I love pie.
@Burma There is a team of North Korean’s assigned to draw a bulls-eye around where ever it lands. Too bad it hit the ocean.
If Obama was actually good at being a communist dictator, he would have claimed we shot their crappy missile down, and if he was an actual US president, he would have had it shot down (even closer to the ground.) Double fail.
I wouldn’t be surprised if what actually happened is someone jingled some keys in front of Obama while someone else shot the missile down and when Obama turned around they pretended that they weren’t doing anything and were like “oh noes!!!11! Missile go boom! awwwwww…..”. Sometimes you have to “do what you have to do” and keep the children out of it.
Fire Wire reports that Bill Maher had to get his 2 cents in against Ann Romney, which inspired a commenter there to contribute this:
SPEAKING GERMAN IN TEXAS
In Texas there is a town called New Braunfels, where there is a large German-speaking population.
One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher’s stock pond.
The rancher rolled down the window and shouted: “Sehr angenehm! Trink das Wasser nicht. Die kuehe haben darein geschissen.”
Which means: “Glad to meet you! Don’t drink the water. The cows have **** in it.”
The man shouted back: “I’m Bill Maher from New York and just down here campaigning for Obama. I can’t understand you. Please speak in English.”
The rancher replied: “Use both hands.”
