Isn't Rush too fat for both radio & TV?

I was at a meeting a couple hours ago with a program officer at a local foundation. I asked her what the foundation sees as most pressing health concerns in our city. Among a few other issues were both obesity AND hunger. I laughed to myself.

That clip is great because it crystalizes what Roth is all about. Just as Prohibition was midwestern WASP morality (emphasis on the P) foisted upon the rest of the nation, so too is the anti-obesity movement an effort to subjugate other American subcultures. Ask a hundred black men what they think of Jordin Sparks, fifty would say "I'd tap that" and the rest would say she's too thin. Roth is an upper-middle-class white woman trying to enforce conformity to her worldview. So why does anyone pay attention to her? Answer: because, like Ann Coulter, she's guaranteed to see the red light on top of Camera 1 and spout crazy shit. And that's good television!

You do have to like the truth in packaging on the name.

Newt Gingrich, tool that he might be, said something that is very true: we are the only country in which our poor and hungry are fat. Ergo Davey Allday's experience.

I am watching the attack on the obese with cold blood as it proves that we right about the slippery slope and hopefully it will cause citizens to balk at further Nanny State infringements on liberty.
