Of course, I could give it to Obigmouth for bragging how well the economy is doing while GDP flatlines. .5% growth in GDP in the 1st quarter. During the seven years of the Obungler administration annual GDP has not exceeded 3% growth. Great record.

But that’s too easy. I’m gonna give it to Meghann Foye some female twit who thinks she should get all the perks of maternity leave without having kids.

I was 31 years old in 2009, and I loved my career. As an editor at a popular magazine, I got to work on big stories, attend cool events, and meet famous celebs all the time.

And yet, after 10 years of working in a job where I was always on deadline, I couldn’t help but feel envious when parents on staff left the office at 6 p.m. to tend to their children, while it was assumed co-workers without kids would stay behind to pick up the slack.

Too bad. Get married and have kids.

“You know, I need a maternity leave!” I told one of my pregnant friends. She laughed, and we spent the afternoon plotting my escape from my 10-hour days, fake baby bump and all.

Of course, that didn’t happen. But the more I thought about it, the more I came to believe in the value of a “meternity” leave — which is, to me, a sabbatical-like break that allows women and, to a lesser degree, men to shift their focus to the part of their lives that doesn’t revolve around their jobs.

Geez. Another clueless lib and another asshole. Instead of your “meternity” leave here is a prestigious award.
