Go earn your sticker tomorrow

Since tomorrow is election day here in the USA, I want to remind everyone to vote. Since this is an infertility blog not a political blog,  I'm not going to tell you how to vote, just VOTE.

I had planned a whole post denigrating that sitcom actress who's saying all the stupid stuff in the great state of Missouri but it's late and I'm tired. She's clearly an idiot. Worse she's spreading lies and misinformation about ivf and donor eggs.

Perhaps it is time to boycott a few stores if you think she's an ignoramus who you don't want to see get any of your hard earned cash. Yes, everyone has the right to free speech (which is what some of the CEOs of the stores that use her in ads are claiming) but we all get to vote with our pocketbooks as well as with our hanging chads.*

Here's a link to what she said. Here's a couple of links of stores you might want to avoid, like CVS, Lucky, SavOn and Albertsons. And if you feel like writing a letter or two then check this one out.

*Well, unless you live in Florida. Or were sent a letter saying you couldn't vote because you were an immigrant. Or ...

I agree. Patricia Heaton is an idiot. And I'll be definitely going out to vote. I would like to see Lieberman lose like he lost the democratic primary but polls show he has something astounding like 75% of the republican vote.

I hadn't even heard this claptrap. Does anyone else find it ironic that Heaton was the only woman in that video? And that she mentioned how low-income women might be enticed by the money, when she in fact was probably a paid spokesperson? Maybe she should donate her pithy paycheck to one of the women's programs and really put her money where her mouth is.

Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass here.

Wow, just catching up here, but I can't believe Patricia Heaton is such an asshole! Of all the things to decide to take a stand on - that's what she thinks the world is in danger from? Paid egg donation? For pete's sake!

I always feel vindicated when folks I don't like much to begin with do stupid stuff. Good to know.

She's an idiot. And she has what, like four kids? It's funny, because she had them all relatively late. I always pegged her for having gotten a bit of help.

And isn't she the one who got ALL that plastic surgery after she had kids? Surely that's more dangerous than a little follistim?

Wow, thanks for the links, I'd totally missed this. Off to write my letters now...

I miss you my friend!!!

Just checking out blogs new to me since I can't take the political drama.

Does the *blue* VOTE reminder mean anything? I sure hope so.

Godammit I used to LIKE her. What a pile of old bullshit that advert is. I'm really angry now. What happened to the amendment in the end?
