From Crooks and Liars, this headline:
Al Gore Takes Home the Statue!
Mini Me.
“Bring her on,” said Dr. Gordon Adams, an international-affairs professor. “The idea of having Henry Kissinger and Angelina Jolie in the same organization is dazzling.”
Discovery Channel shills for James Cameron Crowe Diaz. What’s up, documentary?
Nurse-In Hits Pennsylvania Mall
Good for them, say I. I don’t understand what the big deal is about nursing in public. Maybe some of you disagree?

Obama told donors at a Houston fundraiser Thursday night that the nation will remain at a standstill “if we continue to engage in small and divisive politics and tit-for-tat.”
There you have it. Gore will be Hollywood’s pick for the 2008 election. After 2000 he went full throttle loon, picked up a cause near and dear to Hollywood’s hypocritical heart, and has now been given his award for doing so.
Take this along with the recent criticism of Hillary, and Gore has Hollywood. And Hillary has another headache.
This’ll be fun.
Heh.
That just eats at all you girls doesn’t it?
The green monster rears its ugly head.

Looks good on you women.
Well it does make one wonder what it was Tipper took home, Steve rational in notion only
Hmmm.
If we’re going by that photo up there.
Kissinger is looking pretty damn good in a bikini!
Jolie needs to lose a few pounds though.
Well, Steverino, if I cared at all it would be eating at me. I probably would have watched it too. What’s really got me is that there weren’t any hot man on man action flicks in contention this year. HOMOPHOBES!!
Aside from that Scorcese has finally won (an interesting point being that his career is in movies and not politics) I’m not too concerned about with limousine liberals congratulating each other. Are you?
I can’t stand awards banquets when I’m receiving one; I certainly don’t watch some other industry’s back-slapping festival.
Re: Nursing
I’m surprised it’s not against the law in Maryland. I’m sure a few legislators there would be SHOCKED! to find that women have breasts, and for a reason.
My wife is a RN who does lactation consulting. I work in oil drilling. While I think she’s totally right about women being to feed anywhere they want, she backs me up on the need to drill domestically.
However, she still doesn’t want to let me switch jobs with her for a day. Damn it.
:(
My sympathies are entirely with the milk-producers!
Having said that… it’s a matter of politeness, I believe, to nurse as discreetly as you can when in a public place, just as it’s polite to leave the table to blow your nose. I am NOT, absolutely NOT, equating breastfeeding with nose-blowing; I was a card-carrying LLL member and am still an ardent supporter of a woman’s right to feed her baby in any place where she herself may eat (or be – since some women inexplicably choose to breastfeed in restrooms, where I assume they would not willingly eat). I’m just saying that both are normal activities involving the body, both may reveal something to others that the others might not care to see, and therefore common courtesy requires that the person performing the activity be considerate of her surroundings.
Breastfeeding on an airplane is a bitch, for that reason. It’s the only place I always used a blanket. Everywhere else, where I had a little elbow room, layering is the key: t-shirt or tank top, plus button-down shirt over the top to provide varying level of visual cover.

When I think of the way that people dress and are encouraged to dress in malls(not that it particularly bothers me), Jami, it’s hard to imagine how nursing can be considered some kind of vulgar public display of flesh.
I am in favor of lactation in public. Heck I wish I could lactate, it would come in handy during water gun fights.
If Al takes that statue home, we can have him busted for petty larceny. It has another guy’s name on it.
You’ve got yourself a point there, Dan. (P.S. No words will ever appear across my daughter’s butt, by solemn vow my husband and I sealed over the blood of her birth. Why on earth would any parent… Well, anyway.)(No, wait a minnit – every day I see five-year-olds with words across their butts. Do their parents think it’s cute? What is with that? Bad enough when your daughter’s jailbait; when she’s pedophile-bait, it’s sick-making.)
papertiger, the problem is much the same one I understand men face at times, leading to the common complaint women in households with men make – that they miss: it doesn’t always go where you think it’s going to go. And worse: sometimes it comes out when you have no intention whatsoever of allowing or encouraging it to do so. In my case, most notably when I was on the stand in court. (Fortunately I was in Oregon, and the grandfatherly judge smiled down on me and called a recess so I could go pump. It wasn’t my finest hour, but at least it solved the immediate problem.)
Oh, and you want to talk comedy gold? Watch a Pump-In-Style in action.
The year I was 14, I carried a lot of books.
I’m still waiting for the women’s warm-up pants that say, “Stop Looking at My Ass” on the back.
I’ve heard this. Had an aquaintance tell us about how she once hit a check out clerk at the grocery store.
I’m inventing a new X-Man heroine.
