War? Depression? Global warming conferences? Serial, cross-country exploitation of a special needs child to sell a fact-challenged book? If ever there were a time this country needed fewer objects of righteous outrage, this is it. And yet here we are:
Brooklyn Heights Blog has an exclusive eyewitness report from Starbucks on Grace St, where a baby-hating dadslapper went on a rampage, not even letting a dad pick up his latte before lashing out:
I was in the Montague St Starbucks at 10:20 am today, maybe 10:25. A man outside had a baby in an upright-type stroller and was speaking with a woman who seemed very concerned. It seems that his child was fussing in the stroller while the man ( who I will call "Dad") was waiting for his drink. When the baby kept crying another man complained to Dad: when Dad did not leave and stayed to wait for his drink, the non-dad man slapped Dad on the back of the head.Police were called, mass sympathies were expressed, but the dadslapper had long fled and is still believed to be at large.
I would ask where's the outrage, but the whole issue is pretty much put to rest by the first commenter on BHB:
Comment from DavidMetrosexual latte dads, you have been warned.
Time: December 7, 2009, 1:18 pmThese metrosexual latte "Dads" have been on the radar of black coffee Anheuser-Busch "Slappers" since the smoking ban! One didn't need a meteorologist to see this storm brewing. Although I respect Starbucks as a monopoly, I still standby my belief that these sissy drinks should have always come with a side of head slap. That said, I still don't fully condone this type of behavior on Montague St nor Grace Court.

"metrosexual latte dads"? "Anheuser-Busch black coffee slappers"? Surely commenter David is none other than fearsome generator of bullshit marketing vectors David Brooks. Amiright?
Does Denis Leary have an alibi?
Cheers,
