When you are angry, rightfully so, at this uneducated piece of turd that fails to express emotion or writing ability, click this for an excellent response: Mr. Nice Guy’s, “Ok, So I Took the Bait.”
Discuss. I’ll be back as soon as I can. I hope the rest of you in St. Louis and St. Charles county get your power back on soon. I hope I do, too.

Holy crap. Can’t believe that woman writes for a living. Hopefully she’s squirrelling all that extra money away to afford the therapy bills for her daughter…who would probably be much better off being raised in Tibet.
Lisa, go to Commission Junction and sign up, it’s all commission-based but you have control over what you put on your site entirely.
[Everyone else, you want to sign up with BlueHost (clicked on here), because I like them for all my sites and lo, I get a major commission on it which I didn’t realize until I got one and it is mighty. As in, I should ONLY have ads for BlueHost. Thank you.]
Theresa, yes, but would the Tibetans have the Amy Sohn-bought and sanctioned cable over there like her Tibetan nanny? And the whiteness? I can’t believe she writes either, but I have seen her on VH1 more than a few times.
Mamatulip, dude, I KNOW. What I don’t get is that she’s a writer who writes from home. I work from home a lot and say, it feels a lot like BEING AT HOME with the children. I can’t believe Sohn thinks SAHMs are just sipping green tea all day, my god, the leisure!
I have to say my favorite line of Sohn’s is that she thinks that (a) childcare is sooo easy to get and do, and (b) that “Childcare should be the province of immigrant women trying to get a leg up.”
I can’t even form a response to that without sputtering yet. Maybe it’s because I’m home a lot. Like Amy Sohn.
I. Can’t. Even. Oh. My. Gah.
Yep, thinking back on all that fucking great, luscious nap time and all those bonbons I snarfed down while I watched my stories all afternoon - oh, WAIT I DIDN’T GET THAT NOW DID I? Nope! The first ‘break’ I got was after I went back to work and got my state-sanctioned 15-minute breaks… and wept with the sheer relief of not hearing “MAMA!” the first second I sat down.
That chick is sorely lacking several rabbit punches to the back of the head.
Also - yeah, because having your kid not want you specifically for anything is GREAT, right? She should TOTALLY not want just you for anything! LOTS of people other than your lazy, disinterested ass can “hand the kid a pot and a spoon.” GAAAH!
Okay, backing away from the subject like my ass is on fire - shit like this makes me so fucking irate I can’t even think.

Clicked on a bunch of your ads just now. How did you get such cool ads?

I’m speechless. It may or may not be connected to the fact that I’m braindead.
