An alternative view of Britney Spears

From the always interesting and provocative Ben Stein of the American Spectator, from a few weeks ago. Did you catch it? Good men and women battle terrorism and famine and criminals every day. And yet...Quote:

Okay. This country has now gone completely insane. It is Saturday night August 11, 2007. I am in the most wonderful place on this earth, Sandpoint, Idaho, looking out at the moonlit (slightly) Lake Pend Oreille, listening to the BNSF freight trains rolling by, and what do I see and hear as the lead item on CNN Headline News at midnight?Nancy Grace urgently telling us that Britney Spears is endangering her children's lives by (and I am not making this up):1.) Giving them soda and fruit juices in baby bottles, thereby endangering their teeth.2) Giving them high fat snacks like Doritos instead of fruits and vegetables.3.) Taking the kids with her on her lap in the car.4) Not always having their child seats attached properly.That's right. Because Britney is a normal human being, not a Stalinist mind controlled, food police approved, Whole Foods Bolshevized perfect new Soviet woman mommy, but is a normal mother like other mothers, the media is howling for her head. This is insanity, pure and simple.
