Obese should have health warnings on their clothes. Excuse me, but you are fat.... Ahhh... Duh. Ok, they are saying that there should be help line phone numbers sewn into fat people's clothes ("help me, I'm fat and I can't stop eating"). Some people are f'ing clueless. "Hey, I know...

Firstly I'd like to excuse myself by saying I'm as much a physicist as a chicken farmer is a dinosaur trainer. I do teach it at a secondary level, and think I have a good grasp...but anything too advanced becomes as faith based as religion for me. That said, I was pondering this the other day...

Just saw an ad on TV from Operation Truth, another 527 group with no obligation to tell the truth. Their TV ad claimed the Bush admin claimed Iraq was behind 911. Way to go McCain/Feingold!

Gosh that Tom DeLay is a busy soul. When he's not busy violating campaign finance laws or making illegal use of Homeland Security, he's out protecting our national image. Now he's castigating the Subway for portraying America as "fat" in their German advertisements. Oddly, he has no...
