We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Thoughts On A Sunday
It looks like our respite from hot and humid conditions is just about over up here in New England. The 90ºF+ temps and high humidity return starting tomorrow (not that today is going to be all that comfortable). It...
Unfortunately, Georgetown is a little short on their edumedicating their students on what constitutes a tyrant.
Blacks are moving to conservative states because the South isn't anything like it was when the Democrats ran things....Oh, and jobs.
It appears the edifice of Progressivism is built upon a foundation of salt....and it's starting to rain. Here is a finding about carbs and fat that seems to be opposite of what the government promotes:
QUOTE:
Findings from all analyses suggest that increases in carbohydrates are most strongly and positively associated with increases in obesity prevalence even when controlling for changes in total caloric intake and occupation-related physical activity. If anything, increases in fat intake are associated with decreases in population weight.
Napolitano/Yudof--let me see now: there must be "a deal" in there someplace ! Napolitano does not have the scholastic credentials for this job--however the person she is replacing is clearly Jewish and pro Israel--soooo . . . .
Freedman's article in The Atlantic on fast food & obesity that you linked to was worth the read. I don't get to eat out very often at fast food places these days, perhaps once a month, but he made the charbroiled cod sandwich at Carl's jr. seem like it might be worth a try if I can find one of their restaurants locally. Most of the time if I'm eating fast food, it's more likely to be Thai, Vietnamese, or Korean. As for the yuppie Whole Foods, fuhgeddaboutit. I'm not poor by any means, but if I had to shop for most of my food at Whole Paycheck instead of Costco, I would be poor. The only item I've ever bought at one of their stores is fresh kale...for my wife's pet house rabbit (who liked it very much).
JKB - Leag's sort of random. I just skip over that stuff.
As to the women loving sociopaths. The phrasings they use to defend the bombers are similar to the defenses of Clinton in the late 90"s. That's not evidence that he's a sociopath, but it does mean he pushed the same buttons in impressionable females.
