Time Magazine Breastfeeding Cover – PHOTOS

A woman who still breastfeeds her NEARLY 4 YEAR OLD son made the cover of Time Magazine. While the thought of a preschooler taking a time out from playing tag to breastfeed seems like something that would make Dr. Phil spit out all sorts of euphemisms for GURL, YOU CRAZY, she thinks that it is perfectly normally and natural.

Jamie Lynne Grumet, a 26 year old stay-at-home mom, says she is still busting out the boob for her son despite the fact that most of the world feels it’s all sorts of wrong. She was breastfed until she was 6 years old and look at how awesome that turned out! (I’m sorry, but all I can picture her saying is: “LOOK AT ME Y’ALL! I’M ON ONE OF THEM FANCY MAGAZINES!”)

Time Magazine Managing Editor Rick Stengel talked to Matty Cakes on the ‘Today Show’ to announce the ho of the year. Matt Sex-On-A-News-Anchor-Stick and Not-the-Red-Head-On-the-View took turns guessing who Time’s Person of the Year for 2009 would be. Finally, Rick announced it was some guy I admittedly never heard of.

“The winner is Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the most powerful, least understood government force shaping our lives. He was the great scholar of the Depression, and basically he saw what looked like another Depression coming and he decided he would do whatever it takes to forestall that,” Stengel said. “And basically he did.”

I know, I know. I really should know who this guy is and all the important shiz he does on a daily basis. Politics are obviously not my bag, but in my defense I could probably drink him under the table. Anyway, congrats to Ben despite the fact that Surprised Kitty was robbed of the title.
