DON'T DO ME ANY FAVORS GERALDINE!!!

OK, this is not My Sarah Palin Post. I assure you one is coming. Instead this is an INFURIATING comment from the former VP Candidate about talented contributing members of Society.

In the words of Maria Shriver:

Just a mother? We do the most important work on the planet. We are by and large the primary caretakers of our most valuable resource. We are the guarantors of our future, the creators of the next generation, warriors for our children, the main transmitters of love and language and nurturance and values . . .

we exercise enormous power to shape other human beings’ lives -- the toughest public service job there is. . .

Appreciate your own hard work as a counselor, teacher, doctor, mediator, cheerleader, disciplinarian, ethicist, beauty consultant, cook, chauffeur, confidante -- and, yes, scapegoat, monster, and demanding pain-in-the-you-know-what. All in a day’s work. Mother’s work.
