His answer was that women shouldn’t be given additional paid leave but should get the chance to telecommute so they can stay competitive in their careers.

Brillant.

Why had nobody thought of this earlier.

Tell the waitress/nurse/sales-woman/factory-worker who's pregnant in her third trimester to wait tables from home online or to take care for patients from home online or to run a cash-register from home online or to operate a machine from home online.




And he hasn't even thought of the the best part!!!

A newborn only needs 18 hours of care each day! These women have plenty of time to work from home!

1. I worked with a woman who was using her laptop to stay in touch

in the labor room. But that does not work for everyone. I told her she was nuts and to have the baby already o one will ever care about the wording of a memo that much.

11. He IS the sane one. Never thought I'd be saying that about Kasich, but there it is. Also...

...I've told people that he's the best choice for republican voters.

5. I finally figured out who Kasich reminds me of and as usual the interwebs are 6 months ahead of me:

On the right is Gary Shandling as sleazy Senator Stern from the Marvel movies.

10. goodness, you are absolutely correct.

6. What an idiot.

These people have no clue about anyone but the 1%.

7. Oh, sure.

And don't forget the live-in nanny and wet nurse can do most of the new baby work.

[Hekate]

8. Bingo

9. Most men don't have a clue. (Sorry guys..)
