My first wife had big boobs, real big.  When my dad first met her, he later said to me, "Figures.  You've always been a boob man.  But is there anything else to her?  What kind of woman is she?"  I told him that she was a nice gal, smart and energetic.  And she was and still is . . . but she's had a lifetime of having to deal with the big boob image.  There's a myth a work in our society that puts forth the notion that big boobs means small brain.

All good looking people have to fight off that myth.  Why?  That one's easy.  The world is full of people who are not good looking.  Most folks, in fact, are on the low side of average looking, and the myth that handsome means half-wit partly comes from their prejudices.  It also comes from simple observation, since lots of handsome folks give the rest of us average folks lots of reinforcement for our prejudices against them.  If they'd quit acting like boobs, we'd have less ammunition to use against them.

I guess you thought this article was going to be about breats on women, but it isn't.  Yeah, that's a sneaky way of getting someone to read your blog, but it works.  Mention something relating to sex, and you get readers.  I didn't make things that way, but I will take advantage of it.  What we're talking about here are the big boobs around us, many of them in positions of power.  Big Boobs got us involved in Viet Nam (flawed policy), and they disgraced us further by abandoning our fighting soldiers in the field there (flawed ethics).  Big Boobs got us involved in Iraq (again a flawed policy), and they've treated our soldiers there with almost utter contempt (long tours, poor equipment at times, lousy planning).  We allowed a worn out old man and a moron to engineer that deal . . . Big Boobs . . . and we're paying for it.

Big Boobs do things like create surges as an answer to their miseries in wartime.  Has the surge worked?  Depends on your definition of work.  Has it given us a better military advantage there?  Have we secured more areas than before?  Yeah, I think we have.  But you see, this is where you know that Big Boobs devised the strategy.  The big question is:  IF YOU WIN, WHAT  HAVE  YOU WON? Or better yet: HOW WILL  YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'VE WON?  Have you defeated terrorism?  Have you made America a safer place to live?  Have you changed anything at all that's worthwhile in the long run?  No, we haven't.  In fact, we just made things worse . . . much worse.  We got involved in a war that can't be won . . . at least not in Iraq.  What we have accomplished is killing off some good kids over there, and we sent home many more of them in bad shape.

Big Boobs are running for president . . . several of them.  I'm not pleased with any of their statements about Iraq . . . except for Ron Paul who simply says we should get the hell out as fast as we can.  And he's not a serious contender at this time.  I like John Edwards, but even a guy like him does boob things.  We all do.  It's just worse when you get caught at it in the political arena.  Getting a blow job in the White House is an act of a boob, and so is getting a $400 haircut.  I can see where a blow job might be more worthwhile than at 400 buck haircut . . . but damn, you sure have to wear the blow job a lot longer.  At least in the case of stupid tricks like that, they didn't get anybody killed.  What separates a run of the mill boob from a Big Boob is just that - the serious nature of the offense.  Big Boob Bush and his band of boobers got lots of young men killed and injured . . . for nothing.  Get it?  For nothing.

And why even bring up something that everybody already knows?  Maybe so you can identify the ones now running for president.  Watch for the boob moves because they'll all make them.  Big Boobs are easy to like, and not just on pretty women.  These politicians are slick characters, smooth talkers, often pleasing to look at and be around.  But don't be fooled.  Look for the real boob factor, and then decide which of them is the lesser of the boob bunch . . . and pick one.  In my mind there's only one candidate running with real boobs . . . and she just might be the least of the boobs in the bunch. 

Yeah, I know, it's a tacky blog . . . but it's the truth.
