Palin Shows the Way for Working Moms

with 5 comments

Sarah Palin has shown the way for working moms struggling with the competing demands of work and family, by working from her home when she was Alaska governor. This move allowed her to work for the people of Alaska and keep a watchful eye on her children at the same time. You can’t deny that she was a great governor as she fended of Russian influence and proved a tough negotiator on fishing rights. She was also obviously a super mom who has raised 5 children each remarkable in their own right. It turns out that working from home has some perks too because while working from home Sarah Palin was able to charge the state of Alaska a per diem. You see, her duty station is in Juneau so while she was in Wasilla she was able to bill the state for 312 nights spent at home. He kids and children also billed the state $50K for travel expenses between home and Juneau. This is the kind of business savvy that we need in our reformers. This is the type of person we need in Washington, but let’s make sure she moves there and doesn’t try charging us a per diem for working from Wasilla lol.
