Poor People Go Back To Work After Having A Baby - Why Isn't That A Headline?

Yahoo CEO gives birth, will go back to work in weeks. So? Woman with college degree has baby, decides to leave workforce. Woman who can't afford not to work heads back to her job earning median income 6 weeks after delivery.

What a stupid idea for a news story. We're a nation at war battling a crumbling economy and rapidly changing weather patterns that could sweep Grandma off to sea. I almost clicked on that Yahoo CEO headline just to get more annoyed, but then decided not to read it at all. Waste of brain space, that one is. That's not a debate for the public - that goes household by household. Too bad you're successful, female Yahoo CEO, because now the whole country gets to judge you on whatever you don't do perfectly.

Here is some life advice to you: Do not give the American Red Cross your real phone number if you give blood. They call incessantly asking for more like sick little blood junkies. What do you mean you are having a blood shortage? I just gave you some blood, what did you do with that batch? All hours of the day, ever day they call for more blood. It's really annoying.
