Brainless Gals in Topless Protest
Opinion Journal On Line ^ | 7 July 2005 | James Taranto

Posted on 07/07/2005 12:41:17 PM PDT by StrangerInParadise

Were we right or were we right when we said that the mindset of Karen Finley, the vulgarian "performance artist," had taken over the Angry Left? Check out this report from the San Francisco Chronicle:

A dozen anti-war activists from Mendocino County took their tops off at high noon in San Francisco's Union Square shopping district Thursday, using what they said was their best weapon to get the public's attention. . . .

Members of the Breasts Not Bombs contingent, which included seven women, three men and two young girls, said the war in Iraq is indecent, not their nakedness. . . .

Breasts Not Bombs said they are trying to make people uncomfortable to get their anti-war message across and to also desensitize people to nudity.

Of course, as we noted last month, such shock tactics "make people uncomfortable" only insofar as they fail to "desensitize" them.

Remember, this is SF, where the annual Dykes on Bykes parade gets to flaunt the helmet law in California.

Hey now! I'm a 40G and they don't hurt my back!

That being said, I think I COULD use them as WMD, but I have the restraint not to.

Why am I not surprised that she does not shave her armpits?

Answer: Because I am intelligent.

A 40G? I apologize if I sound rude, but I didn't realize they even went that far through the alphabet!

From www.sherryglaser.net --

This is Sherry Glaser! Sherry Glaser, born and raised in N.Y., is the Star and author of Off-Broadways’ longest running one-woman show; FAMILY SECRETS. She developed her passion for the solo performance while practicing improvisation in the early 1980’s in San Diego in the company of Whoopi Goldberg, Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy. It seemed that much of her life was painfully hilarious so she decided with her then husband, Greg Howells, to create her first solo show; COPING. After moving to L.A. in 1989 after receiving a contract from Warner Brothers Studio she explored the world of Sit-coms but found live original theater to be a stronger representation of her work. (In other words Hollywood didn’t know what to do with her) She then went national with her show garnering critical acclaim, including L.A’s Outer Critic’s Circle Award, South Florida’s Carbonell Award for Best Actress, NY Theater World Award for Best Debut, a Nomination of a Drama Desk Award and L.A.’s Ovation Award. Simon Schuster has published Sherry’s Autobiography based on her Off- Broadway success FAMILY SECREST/ One Woman’s look at a relatively painful subject. In 2004 Sherry collaborated with Thais Mazur on a Theater/Dance project called REMEMBER THIS (AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF WAR THROUGH THE EYES OF WOMEN) which debuted in Mendocino and then went on to San Francisco on 9/11. Her weekly "GOOD NEWS" comedy program is heard on Community Radio station KZYX. She was also instrumental in a recent Tsunami Relief benefit which raised over $10,000. Sherry has done benefits for Women's Shelters, environmental agencies, and the homeless. She has taught workshops in Radical emotional transformation and Organic Improvisational Theater. Her new works include. IN TOUCH WITH REALITY , OH MY GODDESS!, and "THE ADVENTURES OF SUPER ACTIVIST MOTHER". She has also pioneered a workshop with Dr. Lauren Oliver called, "THE NATURE OF A WOMAN, A WORKSHOP IN RADICAL EMOTION". Sherry is a widow, raising two daughters and lives in Northern California among some of the last Redwoods on the planet hence her dedication to do radically inspired theater which she hopes will moves us all to take action to protect the natural resources and human rights we hold dear.

-- Whoopi, Mo, and Kathy are ardent leftists.

Why do they have to embarrass themselves and everyone else? Why not just state their opinions. They must not think that what they have to say will sway anyone, so just shock the heck out of them. Were the girls underage? If they were and were led to take their tops off in public, shame on their mothers!

The other night I asked the wife if she was going to bed
(Key:Raising eyebrows)She said she was too tired.
Well then I guess I'll have a Jack on the rocks and watch Sports center for a bit.
Go ahead she replied.
Thus we have the following
