3: Women Go Topless

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Call Me Stormy has been in existence nine years now, and we have made 15,000 posts. To celebrate these milestones, today we re-publish our top 10 posts as measured by their popularity with our readers. We begin with No. 10 and will work our way up to No. 1. All of these posts have more than 900 views each, the best nearly 50,000. Here’s No. 3, originally published Sep. 2, 2012.)

Last Sunday, a few dozen activists descended upon Washington, D.C., for the 5th annual Go Topless Day protests. Reason.TV’s Lucy Steigerwal reports live from the rally, supporting women’s rights to go topless in public.

Meanwhile, Guyism commentator Katie Nolan supports the cause, but says the movement is missing a golden opportunity by not putting its best foot — er, breast foot — forward. In The Guyism Speed Round, she says, “A bit of advice, ladies, if you want people to support your made-up cause of clothing equality, maybe find some girls that people want to see with their shirt off.” Be sure to stick around for her coverage of a newly discovered Amazonian species nicknamed “the penis snake.”

Topless Leftists Challenge Bernie

A Hindu vegan and a couple of topless Leftists disrupted a Bernie Sanders’  rally in Nevada over the weekend. Sanders tried to confront the protesters but his wife dragged him off the stage. The women had scrawled across their bare chests the words: “Let dairy die!”

The question remains: Were these your usual Leftwing nuts or plants placed at the rally by, say, Hillary Clinton?

Brings to mind the South Park episode: “Die, Hippie, Die.”

This is getting to be old-hat for Bernie Sanders rallies. Here’s a New York Daily News video showing another topless woman, equal rights activist Anni Ma, 25, who was arrested outside a Bernie Sanders rally three years ago in Los Angeles. Either the mainstream Democrats are dropping boobs on him, or else he’s got a limber and libertine following!

Stormy Milestone: 10,000 Posts

Today marks a milestone in the history of Call Me Stormy. We have now published 10,000 posts.

Actually 9,998 posts as of today, while hitting 10,000 tomorrow.

To celebrate, we present the five most popular posts in the history of our blog, which we launched back in 2012. We always present hard-hitting political posts, but guess what? None of the most popular pieces we have run involve politics. Instead, they cover a stranger melange of topics: sex, pets, an anal examination, bizarre creatures and subway gangs.

Without further ado, here are the top five.

No. 1 from Sep. 2, 2012

Christmas in April

Monday was Tax Day. “Or as Democrats call it — Christmas in April,” says Jodi Miller. In this edition of NewsBusted, she also touches on Margaret Thatcher’s death, the Boston Marathon bombings and Vladimir Putin’s confrontation with topless Femen protesters in Germany.

Femen Whacked at Vatican

Femen, the topless Ukraine protesters, flashed their boobs on St. Peter’s Square to disrupt the Pope’s weekly prayer and take a poke at the church for opposing gay marriage. But the assembled faithful didn’t take too kindly to the outburst, as one supplicant whipped out an umbrella to smack the Femen-ists. In this case, serves them right. With their bodies emblazoned with the words “Shut Up,” Femen invited a reciprocal response. These ladies look good, but they need to rethink their Fascist tactics.

Topless at the Louvre

Femen activists occupied the Louvre in Paris today, using the Venus de Milo as the backdrop for their topless protest against a controversial trial in Tunisia. Under the topsy-turvy perversion of justice associated with Sharia law, a Tunisian woman named Mariam, who was raped by policemen, now faces charges of being “immoral.”

The Femen activists view the trial as a travesty and called upon women worldwide to resist the spread of Sharia, arguing it permits rape victims to be treated like criminals. The protesters chanted “We have hands to stop rape,” referencing the armless Venus de Milo, an ancient Greek sculpture on permanent display at the Louvre Museum.
