It's feminism's fault we're in Iraq! Yeah, that's it!

Uh. Wow. Where to begin. Let's see...the annoying sound of her voice? The whining about the "small Democratic tent"? (Of course the Republicans are going to embrace a white, upper-middle-class woman who knows how to play housewife and mommy while keeping a staff to do all the work! They've got a whole brothel of them, in fact!) The self-centered, non-stop rambling? And when she started taking calls, she wasn't channeling her inner housewife; she was channeling Dr. Laura. And not with any particular skill, either.

I was debating whether to pull the plug on the streaming audio, but decided to soldier on to the end. Oh, was that worthwhile! I don't think I've heard anything like Flanagan's implosion at the end of that segment since the Gene Simmons-Terry Gross deathmatch on Fresh Air several years ago.

a nurse-in at fred meyer!

Love the suggestion of a nurse-in at the offending fred meyer.

I thought the northwest was progressive.

nobody even asked me not to nurse in the backward south.

Target,Kmart, restrants, parks the library. never had a problem. But I usually draped a soft unfolded cloth diaper over my shoulder . The cheap really thin kind that doesn't block air.

they Work great for spit up cloths too.

I always kept one in the diaper bag.

Got some second looks - but once people realized I was nursing they generally

smiled as they moved on.

No one ever was mean to me, or the least bit judgemental.
