    The picture looks like yet another iteration of the old "celibacy directs the energy upwards" concept. If you try flying, though, you should probably take off only from ground level.

    ...it's that there's no predicting who will find whom attractive. Sounds to me like you're just applying an arbitrary subjective standard of your own. :-)

    I was disgusted with both Berman and Jacobson! Surprise! Berman is full of it when he says obesity is a lifestyle choice. Body size is by and large genetic, and even when it is a product of environmental/genetic interaction, it is not completely within the control of an individuals willpower. Jacobson is wrong that it is a killer "disease." We are living longer than ever! (And creating a whole new problem of too many seniors and not enough young people.) Since I believe we are at the brink of disaster due to REAL problems, global warming, bees disappering etc. I have stopped pulling my punches. Berman and Jacobson should both shut up about obesity because they both have their own motives for capitalizing on the issue. Berman is just in it for the bucks, Jacobson wants to exploit the issue against mocern cooperate America. Both spew ignorance, contribute to stereotypes and increase the stigma! And btw, neither one of them is REMOTELY attractive enouch to make any comments on anyone's appearance whatsoever!

    Perhaps Putin could launch a "Our Gulags Are More Transparent Than Your Gulags," campaign. That ought to spiff up the image. At least here.

    Nice as it is to have Josh out, Big Brother still gets to see his footage and perhaps store facial recognition data of protesters in a federal database. We need a federal shield law with real teeth, and it shouldn't only cover "journalists" with MSM credentials.
