In yet another (fasle) example of how everyone in America is a victim, and no one is responsible for their own actions (also false), a group of fat people is suing fast food corporations. Why? Because they got fat eating the greasy, salty, and sugary foods!

"The fast-food industry has wrecked my life," Caesar Barbar, one of plaintiffs, told the New York Post.

No, your unwillingness to eat healthy & get your ass off the couch has wrecked your life. No one forced you to have that Big Mac, supersized french fries, and jumbo Diet Coke every day. Nobody put a gun to your head & told you to gobble those Chicken McNuggets. It was all you, baby.

Mr Barbar - a 57-year-old maintenance supervisor who weighs almost 125 kilograms (275 pounds) - said he regularly ate fast food until 1996, when a doctor warned his diet could potentially kill him.

[...]"I always thought it was good for you. I never thought there was anything wrong with it," he said.

Ignorance is not an excuse (well, it shouldn't be) for your actions. All fast food restaurants have a pamphlet that states the (limited) nutritional value of their food. Many even have this information on a poster displayed within the restaurant. What, didn't the grease dripping off of your Double with Cheese clue you in to the fact that maybe this wasn't good for you? Didn't the hundreds of newspaper articles, news magazine shows, and episodes of Oprah explain in small enough words how this stuff is bad for you? Did you think it didn't apply to you? Obviously you're lazy, but are you stupid, too?

Let me see if I have this straight: instead of admitting to yourself that it's your own fault that you're fat and actually do something about it, you want to blame others, and you want large corporations to give you large sums of money, money with which you're going to buy more of their product. Of course, because of this frivolous lawsuit, you'll likely be causing said corporations to raise their prices, so that next time I'm feeling in the mood, I'll have to fork over $9.99 for a Quarter-Pounder with Cheese, large fry, and an icy Coke. YOU RAT-FUCK SUNOVABITCH BASTARDS!

Here's a quarter. *plink* Put down the Whopper & go buy yourself a clue.

Bush rallies US for strike on Iraq

Ahhh, like father, like son.

Economy tanking? Losing domestic support? Go start a war & watch them flock to your side!

Dubya seems to be following the family blueprint on how to be a one-term president. Democrats, take heart!

Does anyone remember that "South Park" episode where Cartman thought he had broken his "funny bone" because he couldn't laugh anymore? That's how I feel right now on political issues, especially the Middle East. Oh, I still read about it, quite closely, in fact, but I just can't seem to work up a head of steam to write about anything political nowadays. I'm sure it'll pass....I hope.

REACHING FOR THE CAN OF WHOOP-ASS

Ok, apparently you people didn't think I was serious about you posting your most embarassing moment here. I was. Shell was the first one, but hers was too big to fit in comments, so she put it on her site. Who wants to pony up the guts and go next? Lyn? Steve? Eric? How about some of you lurkers out there? Everyone's welcome! I promise not to make fun of your pain....well, not too much fun....

Or do I hafta start making things up about people? I'm so crazy, I'll do it, too!

Women 'visiting lap-dancing clubs to compare bodies'

"It's a 'like me' or 'not like me' situation. Women will either imagine themselves in the place of the dancer, or attempt to judge themselves and their own worth by how much better or worse they perceive the dancers look than them."

Is this true? Has anyone actually done this?

Sometimes America may wake up with a throbbing head, a pasty mouth and a foreign currency slumbering next to it. America must first ask itself two critical questions. One is: How did America get into this situation? Two is: How does America get herself out of this situation?

You must check out this amazing piece over at AlterNet that likens the current state of the economy to a drunken night out. The title is "The Economic Hangover". (via the Hauser Report)

I don't often remember my dreams, but last night's was a doozy. My last gf B went up on the Space Shuttle. She got to go via a loophole (failed a legal exam, the commander said something about "...you'll be back on duty before you know it", even though she wasn't in NASA). When she came back, we made out in the audience of a drum corps show (man, she smelled good), where she told me how she made it into space. As we were leaving, the drum corps show turned into a squirtgun fight with mobsters, but instead of the mafia, we were being chased by Larry King's publicist. I told him if they didn't let us go, I'd squirt Mr King, and since he didn't want that, he had to let us go.

Hey, I don't write 'em, I just report 'em.....well, ok, I guess I do write 'em, but don't hold that against me!

Light day today here at the new domicile. I was going to dig out my rollerblades, but it just had to rain today. Couldn't it have waited until tomorrow? I guess I'll do laundry instead...

"...even undoing a bra can help you lose fat."

Here's the tally:

• using both hands - 8 calories burned
• using one hand - 18 calories burned
• using your mouth - 87 calories burned

Anyone feel like working out?

How masculine can one man be before others start to see it as a case of overcompensation? For God's sake, he already worked in a topless bar!

My most embarassing moment

The time: Christmas 1995.
The place: My then-gf's parents house.
The event: It was the first Christmas with J. She had gotten a part-time job over break to earna bit of spending money for school. At that job, she had bruised her forearms carrying boxes. Her mother took one look at J's forearms and said to me (jokingly) "have you been grabbing her?"
My response slipped out before I could stop (or even think about) it. I shook my head and replied "not there."

What's your most embarassing moment? C'mon, share with the class....
