We hate fat people. Or rather, that is now what everyone in the blogosphere is screaming.
The MS State Legislature made The Smoking Gun today
This is an interesting test.
This website has several tests which will gauge your bias towards several different topics. The one on racial bias is really, really cool. If you go into the "demonstration" part of the website and choose the "Race" test it takes about ten minutes to complete.
They do warn you before you take the test that you might not like your results. From my experience ( ;-) ) people do not like it when they are told they DO have an inherent bias.

I am just now discovering the CL's "Citizen Bloggers"
I need some room to rant. Have you seen this crap?
You'll have to excuse me if I don't rant prolifically in this post. The cat just barfed on the couch. I'm thinking she must have been reading over my shoulder.
I get legislative updates from the National Association of Social Workers. Part of our code of ethics states that we must advocate for legislation that promotes self-determination. The following is the text of an email I received from them concerning the abortion bill being discussed in the Senate. Please consider the ethical ... read on »
For the past month and a half I’ve transported one of my foster children to her old school every morning. She originally resided with her family in one part of town, but now lives in a foster home at the exact opposite end. Since she attends public school this means that there is no transportation available to take her to school other than one of the social workers. I decided this was my responsibility since I am the reason this change of homes came about. Anyway, this requires that I get out ... read on »
In this AP piece, the cult leader Jeffrey Lunden asks for a stay of execution because he's too fat.
If nothing else should prove that we live in "America: Center of Obesity" this report should.
Here's his main case:
A federal judge on Tuesday delayed next week's execution of cult leader Jeffrey Lundgren to allow him to join a lawsuit by five other death row inmates challenging the state's use of lethal injection.
In his request to join the lawsuit, Lundgren, 56, said he is at even ... read on »
This guy has way too much time on his hands.
Although, I'm totally feeling the sentiment.
A friend of mine sent me a link to a study online saying that drinkers actually make higher salaries than non-drinkers.
I have one thing to say, HALLELUJAH!!
Los Angeles (September 14, 2006) – Numerous studies have shown moderate alcohol use can have important health benefits and now a new report finds drinking can help your wallet too.
Okay, this is my new favorite fish
Look how totally freakin' cool bluegills are...
A type of fish so common that practically every American kid who ever dropped a fishing line and a bobber into a pond has probably caught one is being enlisted in the fight against terrorism.
So, I guess the headline might give you a small glimpse into my personal feelings regarding Nancy Grace.
This article should underscore that...
Two weeks after telling police that her son had been snatched from his crib, Melinda Duckett found herself reeling in an interview with TV's famously prosecutorial Nancy Grace. Before it was over, Grace was pounding her desk and loudly demanding to know: "Where were you? Why aren't you telling us where you were that day?"
A day after the ... read on »
