The Most Obese Counties In America: Is Yours On The List?
Commented Nov 19, 2009 at 19:57:30 in Living
“STOP...STOP...STOP consuming high fructose corn syrup, people. The body doesn't recognize it AND it actually makes you feel hungrier...such a deal, right? I don't care what the corn industry says...they have a BIG axe to grind. It IS a pain to stand there and look at ingredients in the grocery store, but take the extra TEN minutes of your life and do it...your body will thank you!”

“Obviously the body recognizes it. It would pass right through if the body didn't recognize it as a source of calories. The body doesn't recognize the artificial fats in some diet foods, so it passes through without being digested (although its osmotic effects usually cause 'leakage' because it draws water into the colon). HFC is recognized by the body, just often not by the person consuming it as a major source of calories.”

“I agree 100%. We consume an unbelievable amount of that g ar bage. The other thing people can and should do without is fast food and soda. It's super bad for you and has very little nutritional value. Eat foods as close to the ground as possible. If you do, you can eat what you want and as much as you want. Eat as little processed food as possible.”

Target Women: Broadview Security
Commented Nov 13, 2009 at 18:25:59 in Comedy
“Those commercials are not only disgusting, they are totally laughable...most break-ins happen when the person is NOT at home. Let's face it...if somebody SEES you go in the house (and waits for you to lock the door and set your alarm) they are 1)after YOU specifically, so an alarm isn't gonna stop them and 2) idiots for waiting. I had an alarm system for years (and paid about $22.00/month), but finally canceled it when the Oakland, CA police department started charging $25.00/year for all people with alarm systems AND told us that they would NOT respond anyway...that we would have to call 911 like anyone else. HUH? Soon after (I suspect a lot of cities did something like this) Brinks sold the company to Broadview Security...good luck, Broadview.”

“There is a book by David Cay Johns(t?)on with a chapter about home security, about how the vast majority(somewhere over 90%, IIRC) of alarms are false or bogus and how the alarms chew up public safety dollars for no real benefit. Oakland's got the right idea.”
Fox Gives Rush Limbaugh 30 Minutes To Tee Off On Obama (VIDEO)
Commented Nov 02, 2009 at 00:14:17 in Politics
“Why aren't people catching on that Mr. Limbaugh just "shotguns" issues: Blam!...Obama (he rarely calls him President) doesn't care about...name the issue. Blam!...the Democrats hate America. Blam!...the economy is going to hell (never mind that G.W. told us the Iraq war (by the way, did Congress ever declare this "war"?) would cost a million dollars and it would all be paid for in oil revenue! What a sad, sad man. He needs his wife to give him some warm milk and a donut and tuck him in...oh wait...he's been divorced by three wives...any volunteers?”
lafayette2009 replied on Nov 02, 2009 at 00:45:41
“Correction - he was divorced by three token wives all of whom received very lucrative pay-offs for their silence. With the third one he didn't even attempt the farce of a marriage because they lived in separate houses the whole time - he, of course, in his $30 million mansion.”
Clarence Thomas To Other Supreme Court Justices: Be Quiet

“Wow...so, in other words to all you lawyers working your patooties off preparing for a Supreme Court case...fuggetaboudit. Does this man even realize what an insulting thing this is to say? I don't think he "gets it" at all.”
thepoliticalcat replied on Oct 25, 2009 at 01:57:08
“That fact astounded me. Does he have any idea what he just said? Is he really so bereft of good common sense, basic intelligence, I mean, one doesn't need intellectual profundity to figure this out, just an ability to think logically. Which, I thought, was de rigeur for lawyers.”
Rep. Joe Wilson Yells Out "You Lie!" During Obama Health Care Speech (VIDEO)

“I've never seen such disrespect for a President as I saw tonight...shame on these futty-nucker Republicans. The sad thing is, Mr. Wilson will be a hero in some circles. This has got to stop NOW, people.”
taxman92571 replied on Sep 10, 2009 at 02:53:14
“Oh please, under the Bush Adminstration the insults flew at the president. What liberal said was so far out the door I was amazed. Liberals refused to give the Bush the same respect they seem to demand for Obama. Even former presidents Carter and Clinton insulted Bush day after day. No former president have the right to critiize a sitting president. It is unheard of in America.
So when you decide to stop drinking your kool aid let's get back to debating the health care issue.”

Five Ways To Reduce Inflammation Naturally
Commented Sep 01, 2009 at 16:13:27 in Living
“Look, folks...these are all very good suggestions to minimize inflammation in the body. Just think for yourself and make logical choices about what you ingest. There are a lot of quacks out there (many of them well-meaning and convinced they are right). But, YOU have the choice of what to put in your body...in fact it is one of the few real choices you have. So, be smart about it and remember...what do you call the person who graduated LAST in their class in medical school?..."doctor".”

Maya Angelou's Elegy For Michael Jackson
Commented Jul 12, 2009 at 11:31:42 in Living
“I used to actually LIKE Maya Angelou (calling her "Doctor" is quite a stretch). I liked her, that is, until her bloated, pedantic, never-ending poem for Bill Clinton, remember? And now, this one for Michael Jackson... I don't know. To be fair, it can't be easy to grind out a poem on demand and in such a short time.”

“Ya know, unless they had agreed to a strict list of questions that could be asked (which happens!), Diane could have asked a simple follow-up question when he said, ""To the best of my knowledge I am not the father of these children," : "Well, did you [to the best of your knowledge] ever give a sperm sample to Jacko?"

Daschle Urges Obama To Drop Federal Public Health Care Plan
Commented Jun 18, 2009 at 15:31:31 in Politics
“Have you...or anyone, for that matter. looked in to the cost of the wonderful COBRA? I'm glad I have it (after my husband died suddenly and I had just retired at the age of 62 and in poor health), BUT, I am paying $666.36 per month without dental or eye care. Unless we all get universal healthcare soon, I will have 31 more months to pay this amount until I turn 65. You do the math. We're talking over $20,000.00. I can JUST afford it, but how about a family of four...the cost would be way higher and I doubt many families suddenly without jobs could ever afford it. It's a joke, people.”

“Look, if the Medicare plan is good enough for our seniors over 65, why not lower that age to 50 for starters at least? Do you REALLY think that if the Medicare system stunk the high heavens, older voters (and they DO vote) wouldn't be up in arms? Come on...”

“NOTHING is better for troop morale than to be given the chance to laugh. It is a gift that brilliant comics like Stephen Colbert (actually, there's nobody better than him) are willing and able to give. Thank God for Stephen Colbert. Just knowing there are people like this freely risking their own personal safety for our troops, makes me forever grateful.”

“Yeah, I'll take snide and surly over bold and fresh. it AMAZES me that Bill O'Reilly still doesn't seem to understand that his Irish nun was NOT complimenting him way back when.

“It seems very unlikely that the crash of AF447 was a terrorist incident. It happened four hours into the flight, in the middle of a violent storm and no one has even tried to claim responsibility. What use is a terrorist action if nobody knows about it? Doesn't add up.”
MajorKong replied on Jun 05, 2009 at 21:11:27
“Hard to say. Some of the previous planned terrorist attacks, like the millenium plot were supposed to have the bombs explode out over the middle of the ocean.
Pan Am 103 was also supposed to explode over the ocean but the flight was delayed.”

“I agree. A terrorist satisfied with only inspiring mystery is pretty unlikely. For this terrorist to also time the event to coincide with severe weather and a failed pitot tube is an even larger leap.”
O'Reilly Suddenly Distancing Himself From Past Tiller Rhetoric
Commented Jun 03, 2009 at 12:28:27 in Media
“WHEN are we going to recognize the kind of ranting people like O'Reilly and Limbaugh do as hate speech? And, to say, "I'm only reporting what others have said", is about as weak of an excuse as I've heard. This is a tired old way of distancing yourself from any responsibility for your statements. The standard of "shouting fire in a crowded theater" DOES apply in many of these cases. When you have mentally unbalanced, idealogical zealots listening to this kind of inflammatory speech every day on radio and the Fox channel...don't play dumb when your words become their actions.”

“Oh, Michael. Look, I'm with you for the most part, but...you've got to consider the unintended consequences of adding a $2.00 tax to gasoline. Ya know, people don't go for "Sunday drives" these days! I believe that if you did a poll, you would find that MOST people drive as little as possible because they can't afford the cost of gas NOW. It's a little insulting to suggest that increasing the cost to the consumer will somehow force them to choose a more efficient vehicle. Those who can...do! Also, please guy, your inartful use of the term "joy" kind of stopped me cold. If you don't have somebody that you can trust to proof your writing, think about, really. Even the word "satisfaction" would have been less toxic. Why turn people off to all the GOOD things you have to say?”
turkeywrld replied on Jun 01, 2009 at 16:15:59
“The ONLY reason gas is so cheap is that its REAL cost is not calculated... add the military expense for policing the Oil supply for a start..mostly paid for by stealing "the peoples' money..(social security and medicare should not be classed as "income" to be looted for military incursions..and yet it IS ..hence massive deficits for the past 40 yrs) ... there is a HUGE disconnect between the natural systems that sustain us and the desire of Americans to burn as much gas as possible any way we can...Cheap goods get wasted and are taken for granted... its been psssibl;e to buy a 99mpg car in europe for 10 YEARS now .. why ?? expensive gas for decades = innovation and efficiency... .”

“It's really kind of a shame that Keith Olbermann (who I love) didn't check out Erich Mancow Muller a little better. Mancow has caused nothing but trouble in every city he's been fired in. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area his name is Mudd (yes, with two d's). You can Google him...Keith, why didn't YOUR producers do that, man?
