Fat Chance
Sep 06, 2007If I hear one more person refer to obesity as a disease, I am going to throw down my Little Debbie Swiss Roll and scream!!
Obesity - with a very few medical exceptions - is a lifestyle choice, not a disease. Why is that so hard for so many people to wrap their heads around? And how much of our tax money is the government going to spend trying to find a way to prevent and treat obesity before they accept what we all already know:
There is only ONE way. Eat less fatty food. Exercise more.
I’m sorry, am I going too fast? EAT - LESS - FATTY - FOOD. EXERCISE - MORE.
Let’s take a look at the latest attempts to prolong the denial by the state of Tennessee:
Posted by Jody Lee Jody Lee’s Blogerview with State Representative Matthew Hill
Aug 31, 2007Hi, Folks! Rep. Matthew Hill graciously agreed to let me throw a few questions at him that I was curious about and post his answers on my blog. He has also agreed to answer YOUR questions as well – either follow-ups to my own questions or queries about new topics.
My own questions involve state health care, illegal immigration, and new state taxes, among other things
On a personal note, I will not tolerate any rude or inappropriate (in my opinion) questions. Rep. Hill is doing this on his own time and voluntarily as a service to my blog readers and as a favor to me, so regardless of your political affiliation or of whether or not you agree with Rep. Hill’s opinions, I ask you to be respectful. That doesn’t mean you cannot express your disagreement here – just keep it respectful. I will be going through your questions and passing on to Rep. Hill the ones I deem interesting and appropriate. I, and only I, will doing any screening of your questions and comments as I think is necessary.
Just pass along your questions and I will post Hill’s responses as they come in. Hopefully this will be the first of many blogerviews with local and state politicians, allowing both you and myself the opportunity to have our questions addressed by our elected officials firsthand! Enjoy…
ATTN VETERANS: Say What You Will About Giuliani…
Aug 26, 2007…but VETERANS around the country are saying a resounding YES! At least, according to a new Gallup poll, they are.
A whopping 64 percent of veterans polled have a favorable view of Rudy Giuliani. Not much mystery concerning who their LEAST favorite candidate is…
Hillary, of course, gets that honor.
But what makes this poll interesting to me is that the majority of veterans passed on John McCain, decorated war hero who went to hell and back for his country. Given his understanding of the military and of what the soldiers face every day, how could a fellow veteran not support him for Commander in Chief?
Annexing Iraq
Aug 26, 2007No one can deny that when it comes to making substantial political progress, the Iraqi government has dropped the ball.
The ball, by the way, that we handed them. Maybe that’s the problem. We handed them the seeds of democracy on a silver platter. Now it appears if the seeds are to survive, we are going to have to keep carrying the platter ourselves. Because every time we try to hand it off to them, they drop it.
Whew. Talk about mixing and working your metaphors to death….
Back to the point…
Pay Discrimination Action Shows Arrogance of Congress
Aug 05, 2007Just out of curiosity, why even have a “Supreme” court if it can be overruled by a bunch of self-serving vote-hungry congressman?
Last week, congress decided they know better than the Supreme Court Justices and overturned a pay discrimination decision, allowing crybabies to cry even louder and longer about supposed injustices.
Did that sound too judgmental? Whoops. Sorry.
