Boobs and Blowhards

Why is it that the only right that seems to be protected in America anymore is the right to make a fool and an ass of yourself? Yesterday we had a nationwide "nurse-in" because employees of a Target store in Houston asked a mother to breast feed her baby in the fitting room instead of sitting in the floor of the clothing department. So women across the country flocked to Target stores, to pop out a boob and show the world that they can do whatever they want. I'm sure Rosa Parks would be proud! Around the same time yesterday, black Houston activist Quannel X, held a press conference demanding that Michael Jordan and Nike lower the price of Air Jordans, so everyone can afford them and people won't have to commit murder to own a pair. To bad the breast feeding mom wasn't black, so we could have bundled all this crap into one news story and not wasted so much of my life listening to it. I guess we just have to accept that every time some one hears the word "no", or doesn't get exactly what they want, we're going to have a protest; and the news media is going to cover it like the whining morons actually have a point. After all, we just spent 3 months watching losers, crack heads, and communists trashing public parks, while the media tried to convince us these worthless turds were just frustrated with the economy. Bullshit! They weren't getting enough free stuff, so they threw a temper tantrum, like a 2 year old; and that's exactly what these women did at Target yesterday. This poor, helpless mom was not asked to leave the store; she was asked to move to a more private area. Oh, the horror! Target is running a damn business! If they would like you to breast feed in the fitting room, instead of sitting on your ass in the floor, I don't think that equates with making you drink from the "colored" water fountain. I have 3 kids and I hope to have grandkids someday; I love babies, and I know they need to eat. But, neither my wife or I have ever sat in the floor of a department store and fed our kids... because we're not idiots. Personally, the sight of breast feeding doesn't bother me. I'm a huge fan of breasts, not so much in this capacity, but I'm not offended by it. However, a lot of people are uncomfortable with it, which is to be expected. This isn't Europe or Brazil, most of the exposed breasts in America are limited to the home and gentleman's clubs. If you're trying on a swimsuit, they'll probably want you to do that in the fitting room as well. The latest Quannel X publicity stunt has even less merit. A bunch of dumb asses are rioting and killing people over tennis shoes, and he thinks it's because the shoes are too expensive. No jackass, it's because they are punks, criminals, and scum bags. I'd like a Corvette, but I can't afford one. If I threaten to kill my neighbor and take his, should Chevy give me a free one? Should we demand that all women provide consensual sex, on demand, in order to reduce the number of rapes committed? If a baby is crying in a movie theater, should the parents just remain seated with her and ruin the movie for everyone else...because that's natural and it's just what baby's do? Get over yourselves people! The world does not revolve around you! The rest of us are just trying pay the bills and buy groceries, and you're irritating the shit out of us. Stop whining and holding your breath every time you don't get your way. Most of all, stay the hell off my TV!
