Globe and Mail...
Momentarily loses track of half-crazed, pantyless Britney Spears... forced to go with "B roll" national news...
"Mother's breast milk thrown into garbage"I'm guessing Lloyd will be showcasing the "breasts in question" on tonight's CTV National News.
"The 31-year-old California mother said she was away from her child for 51 hours while at an academic conference, during which time she pumped breast milk every three hours. Having to throw out the milk she planned to bring home to her baby felt 'violating,' she said."
"Forcing me to throw out the milk represents more than an inconvenience: It devalues this connection between me and my baby."
Now, this is exactly the kind of "man bites dog" nonsense that passes for journalism these days. The stupified sheeple have apparently set the bar so low, that just about any sort of argle-bargle can be passed off as "national news."
And it didn't even make any sort of sense. If Mommy-Dearest was truly worried about her baby's diet, she should have pumped extra breast milk before she left... so Junior's meals wouldn't have been disrupted in her absence. As it is, it seems she was planning on doubling up the little swine's daily intake when she returned home.
Maybe I'm missing something here.
By way of contrast, I also caught a little of the Newshour with Jim Lehrer on PBS on my recent trip to Toronto (we're on 'peasantvision' here at the Halls). Say whatever you will about the idealogical slant, it was hard news, well presented.
I dunno... I guess it's a TMZ world.

Yup...right on....nuf said.
Well the Gobermnet should start placing Breast Milk fridges through out Canada, how dare they infringe on her right to conserve breast milk.
Joking, it's not like it's a non- renewable resource. Dahhhhhhh.
A couple of years ago my wife and I had the pleasure of going through the whole breast pump & mark the time on the bottles thing.
Maybe this dummy wasn't listening during her prenatal classes. Even mommy's milk, even refridgerated has a best before date & it's measured in hours not days (no preservatives remember?)
If it's not used in 48 hours, heave it, bacteria is already catching hold.
My wife (a very level headed woman) and I call women like this bozo, "brood mares" because they are so obsessed with the idea of being the "perfect-damned-Mummy-dearest" that they become insufferable.

if this woman's connection to her child is so tenuous that it can be "devalued" by this incident... i feel sorry for junior indeed.
more mindless moonbattery.

Speaking of waste of newsprint and airspace, CBC just came out with this mindblowing scandal.
Apparently Bernier's Ex hung out with a loan shark in 2006! Can you believe it?
Really though, I don't see what the CBC's problem is, after all aren't the Hell's Angels just nice guys?
How does a complete non-issue like this keep going? Before we know it someone will find out that an ex-Prime Minister had kids with a woman who hung out with drug using rock stars...

never mind pantyless, dope smokin', flower child wives... what about less than reputable party leaders?
