#1 And scientists are very concerned that Bush tends to ignore "real" science, suggesting (I suppose) that right-wing religious reactionaries (RRRR)are in charge. But in the meantime, errors in science don't matter, because the conclusion was a good (PC) one. Reminds me of Dan Rather - even if the documents were forged, the story was true.

#2 these people are responsible for our saftey and have failed miserably time after time. No wonder they are always so unprepared for events. Time for a house cleaning.

#3 Shortly after this study was released, with its new tables of overweightosity, a sportswriter discovered that nearly a dozen of the players in March Madness were obese.
The usual PC stuff, done to provide nannystaters with some bogus backing.

#6 Its all a game of three card monty. Death is a pie chart with a 100% outcome. No one gets out of this life alive. If you statistically reduce one cause of death, another cause simply increases. Ah, the need for more studies, more reports, more justification to control people.

#7 T.W. we need to incorporate the "old way" of doing chores, activities and burn more calories than we take in~~ It is a math game when it comes to loosing weight.

It is said that the Amish folks are not at risk for clinical obesity~~ WHY? research their lifestyle--manual labor. Haying with a horse and tractor, walking behind the trailer with the bales of hay. Walking with bucket's of water. No microwave. The Amish children do NOT sit and watch hour's and hour's of T.V. Most ride bicycles or walk. We need to call for a lifestyle change to see our skinny old self!

I am the first to admit---I'm guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, No appeal process for me.
I need to plea the 5th on eating, diet's etc.

WHERE IS BARBARA SKOLAUT??

#14 Barbara is probably out saving lives at the moment, Andrea. That's why she doesn't have time to watch for our posts all day.

Oh, and the French like to boast that they aren't fat like those disgraceful Americans, yet down in the cheese belt they are bigger, and with higher cholesterol levels, than we are here. Just because "it is said," doesn't make it true. Which was the whole point of the article I posted, dear.

#15 Are you filling Barbara's shoes now?

No, but it looked like you are starting to get hysterical. Nothing pushes my buttons more.
That and el cubo cognitive disonance and jihadis, that is.
