Because I Haven’t Got The Energy To Deal With This Kind Of Stupid August 2, 2006 zuzu I’ll let Scott handle it.
Poor Medved, he’s the classic enabler. Gibson spouts about the Jews and its the Jews’ responsibility to forgive, apologize, forget, rehabilitate, fix, rationalize and whatever other enabling, ass licking white wash behavior you can muster. His entire piece reads like a co-dependent’s bible. As for the woman who gushes that, “Whatcho lookin’ at sugar tits?” Gibson is her fav feminist, in competition with the Pope, I cannot find a rhyme or reason. Is she really a woman or just some old retired priest paid by the vatican to ghost such editorials?
Can I just ask a dumb question? Where does the phrase “sugar tits” come from anyway? Seems to me a more fitting phrase would be “milk tits” but hey… one can’t always use logic when coming up with demeaning phrases. Anyone know?
From the wikipedia: Pacifiers were a development of hard teething rings, but they were also a substitute for the softer sugar-tits, sugar-teats or sugar-rags [7]which had been in use in 19th century America. A writer in 1873 described a “sugar-teat” made from “a small piece of old linen” with a “spoonful of rather sandy sugar in the centre of it”, “gathered … up into a little ball” with a thread tied tightly around it. [8] Rags with foodstuffs tied inside were also given to babies in many parts of Northern Europe and elsewhere. In some places a lump of meat or fat was tied in cloth, and sometimes the rag was moistened with brandy. German-speaking areas might use Lutschbeutel: cloth wrapped round sweetened bread, or maybe poppy-seeds. Here to serve.
Brandy? Poppy seeds? Shoot, why can’t we give that to babies anymore? That would sure make for a mellow baby. A mellow baby with rotten teeth. But mellow.
Was I the only one who got brandy on the gums when I was teething? But then, I was also given wine with seltzer in my bottle… we were visiting my Tia Lola in Spain, and she insisted. Kept me very mellow.
