In an effort to temper the tirade of fierce feminists with nothing better to fight for than the underrepresented nipple, facebook has lifted its ban on breastfeeding photos. Apparently, it’s some kind of double standard for men to freely expose their nipples, while women cannot, especially when those women are engaged in the very beautiful act of breastfeeding (SARCASM INTENDED).

There are a few points to make here, all of which deserve close attention. First, breastfeeding is not beautiful. Call me a heartless cactus, but there are many “natural” acts that involve a mother and her newborn that are also not beautiful, such as changing a diaper. If I don’t want to see a random mother and child in the artful exchange of excrement, I also don’t want to see bare boobies on my screen. Second, until a child is of age, I draw enormous outrage with publicly exposing such private moments for the world to see (and yes, 500 friends is in fact, “THE WORLD”). And lastly, feminists everywhere should find a better cause. I hear global warming is all the rage these days.

After a predictably failed attempt to democratize the Middle East and to arm the Iraqi government with the necessary tools to combat an insurgency, radical Islamic militants are advancing at an alarming rate. Iraqi soldiers scattered, leaving militants with an easy win over Mosul. Emboldened insurgents are now after Baghdad, leaving Barack Obama with a far-too-familiar ambiguous response. According to Obama, the United States “will not react overnight,” or perhaps at all (that last part is mine). The ISIS goal is to establish an Islamic state that stretches to Northern Syria, which is a realistic fear given their previous success against President Bashar al-Assad. For an easy rundown on the current state of “Mess O’ Potamia,’ watch the link below. Jon Stewart says it best.

In case you are one of the lucky few who know nothing about the Eddie Cibrian, LeAnn Rimes, and Brandi Glanville drama, here’s the story in a nutshell. “Actor” Eddie cheated on his then unknown wife, Brandi, with the well-known singer LeAnn on the set of their film, ‘Northern Lights.’ Brandi boldly got them back, landing a role on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which instantly escalated her fame far beyond Rimes, whose poor PR choices sank her professional life. Now, Rimes and Cibrian are presumably strapped for work, which can only explain their new reality show. In fact, the very idea that it’s the same genre as Brandi on a less successful franchise, only adds to the embarrassment. As for Rimes’ dig at Glanville in the trailer below, it’s a clear example of why I feel no regret for this less than flattering post.
