OK, who can explain to me why a poster of a man breastfeeding at work would be controversial? I just can’t see it.

Let’s tick off the elements:
A man in a suit with his chest exposed. If this was a problem, most Guess ads would be banned.
A man holding his child. Can’t even imagine a problem there.
A man with his child on his chest. I’ve seen that in Sears catalogs, for cryin’ out loud.
A baby in a diaper. Um, yeah.
An office. Uh-huh.

I got it. It must be the poster of Lucy Lawless’ legs on the wall.

Seriously, though, the real reason it was pulled was the same reason it was made: it makes people think about the double-standard we still have. If men needed to breastfeed at work, do you think there’d be any problem?

It looks like the Bush administration (specifically Paul Wolfowitz) is shifting its justification for occupation of Iraq to a more September 11th-related story. I really do hope the American people are smarter than the administration assumes.

It’s probably time to read the PNAC primer written by Bernard Weiner. I’ve mentioned the Project for a New American Century before, but Weiner brings it all together in a thought-provoking piece.

It looks like California will hold a special election regarding whether or not to recall our Governor. The Sacramento Bee (incidentally, a great name for a newspaper) has a good overview of the rules and procedures of a recall.
