      Roseanne Cherrie Barr (b. November 3, 1952) is an American actress, 
      comedian, writer, television producer, director, and 2012 presidential 
      nominee of the California-based Peace and Freedom Party. Barr began her 
      career in stand-up comedy at clubs before gaining fame for her role in 
      the sitcom Roseanne. The show was a hit and lasted nine seasons, 
      from 1988 to 1997. She won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe Award for 
      Best Actress for her work on the show. Barr had crafted a "fierce 
      working-class domestic goddess" persona in the eight years preceding her 
      sitcom and wanted to do a realistic show about a strong mother who was 
      not a victim of patriarchal consumerism. (Click

      As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband 
      gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.
    
    
      Birth control that really works - every night before we go to bed we 
      spend an hour with our kids.
    
    
      Experts say you should never hit your child in anger. When is a good 
      time? When you're feeling festive?
    
    
      I consider myself to be a pretty good judge of people... that's why I 
      don't like any of them.
    
    
      I know that I pay 48 percent of my income to taxes. You know, I wouldn't 
      mind so much if it wasn't going just to export war. If it was actually 
      going to help the people of the United States, I would gladly pay more.
    
    
      I'm either mentally ill or Jewish. I can't sometimes tell the difference.
    
    
      I'm kosher except for times where I eat pork and shellfish.
    
    
      I'm not a politician. I think that uniquely qualifies me to become 
      president of the U.S.
    
    
      Men read maps better than women because only men can understand the 
      concept of an inch equaling a hundred miles

      Middle class people are fearful of losing. So everything is about fear 
      of loss. When's everything is based on money, everything's for sale, 
      including their integrity and their morals.
    
    
      My husband and I didn't sign a pre-nuptial agreement. We signed a mutual 
      suicide pact.
    
    
      My husband said he needed more space, so I locked him outside.
    
    
      Screwed? We're way beyond screwed. The light from screwed will take 
      years to reach us.
    
    
      Take this marriage thing seriously- it has to last all the way to the 
      divorce.
    
    
      The American people are sick and tired of this 'lesser evil' garbage 
      they get fed every election year. Both the Democrats and the Republicans 
      do the same evils once they're in office.
    
    
      The day I worry about cleaning my house is the day Sears comes out with 
      a riding vacuum cleaner.
    
    
      The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just 
      take it.
    
    
      The way to a man's heart is through his chest.
    
    
      There's a lot more to being a woman than being a mother, but there's a 
      hell of a lot more to being a mother than most people suspect.
    
    
      Women are cursed, and men are the proof.
    
    
      Women complain about PMS, but I think of it as the only time of the 
      month I can be myself.
    
    
      You know, I'm blessed. 'Blessed' is a better way of saying 'rich.'
