Boobs with drivers licenses

As someone with a daily commute of at least 45 minutes each way, I can tell you there are a lot of dumb boobs on the road. I just wasn't aware how occupied some of them might be.

Police say an Ohio mother has been charged with child endangerment after another driver reported she was breast-feeding and talking on the phone while driving.

The caller told police in suburban Dayton that he spotted the minivan-driving mother dropping off children at a school Thursday morning.

Officer Michael Burke said authorities used a license plate number to track down 39-year-old Genine Compton, who told them she was breast-feeding and wouldn't let her child go hungry.

He said the child was under 2 years old.

Burke said the legal concern is that Compton had a child in her lap, not that she was breast-feeding in public.

Here are my questions for our state senate: Does this arrest constitute harassment of a breast-feeding mother? Should the police officer go through breast-feeding sensitivity training? If she goes through a fast food drive-thru, does the restaurant proprietor have the right to ask her not to breast feed the child as she orders a slurpie? If he or she calls the cops on the breast-feeding mother, would they be breaking the law? Can the breast-feeding mom drive faster than the speed limit? Should we accomodate breast-feeding-and-driving moms by giving them special nursing-only lanes?

Legislature full of boobs

Eating at your favorite local restaurant may be just a bit more eye-popping soon. The state senate is expected to take up the Topless Mom Act, a.k.a. the breast feeding everywhere bill.

The state Senate is expected to take up a bill Tuesday that bars anyone from bothering breast-feeding mothers.

The bill would protect mothers who breast-feed in public and private. Violators could faces fines of up to $200.

The bill has bipartisan support and looks like it has a good chance of getting through both the Senate and Assembly. Gov. Jim Doyle supports it.

We looked at the issue back in January in a column I wrote for the Waukesha Freeman about Facebook having the good taste not to allow the publishing of the bare-boobed mommas' bare boobs.

And speaking of restaurants, it wasn’t that long ago that women won the special right of being able to breast-feed publicly at Applebee’s when that restaurant chain backed down under threat of boycott. Of those women who are upset at the removal of their breast-feeding photos from Facebook, how many of them would be upset if someone took a photo of them breast-feeding their child at Applebee’s and posted it on a Web site?

I suspect they would be irate, and the public breast-feeding argument falls apart upon exposure.

Update! State Senate voted to let it all hang out. On to the state assembly.

Northern overexposure

Is there an ideology to exposed breast-feeding? Why are some breast-feeding women demanding the right to let it all hang out? Are male and female breasts different, and in which restaurant are you more likely to see exposed breasts? All this and more in this week's column for the Waukesha Freeman, still only 50 cents!

I'm already aware of breasts

When they march in this parade, will they have their shirts off? It'll bring a larger crowd.

Got milk?

"Bill would allow breast-feeding anywhere, any time"

I just gotta ask, by anyone? Any age? Would I be able to pick and choose?
