Dietitian at vegan advocacy group wants warning... →
Wait a minute here. Am I to believe that this tasty burger might not be a healthy dietary choice? Even with 5 burger patties and a cup of chili? Are you sure, it seems straight off the weight watchers menu to me. Thank God there was a warning label, I might not have figured that out otherwise.
The nanny state strikes again.

He has pretty much the same take on pop music that I do. I really don’t like the people that hate on artists or band just because they don’t like their image or because they are “sell outs” or whatever. If someone is happy doing their thing let them do it. I don’t much get into the Jonas Brother’s but it seems a lot of people do. Miley Cyrus has had a catchy...

House passes bill taxing fat AIG and other bonuses... →
This is possibly the most outrageous and upsetting thing I have ever read. I’m not exaggerating.
I have real and serious problems with the thought that the government can pass laws to charge certain people taxes in a specific situation just because the government is upset with them. This cannot be constitutional. If this is allowed to pass, then anytime in the future that...

Isn’t is strange how good photography can always make a story more real? These photos really brought home the mess we are currently in, it’s no secret I don’t think we are doing the right things to fix it. But that also doesn’t mean that pictures like these aren’t incredibly sad.

I really do not understand this. First the gov’t had no business bailing out these companies, however they did it anyways. Then the companies use the money for what they are not only contractually obligated to do, but what they were REQUIRED BY THE GOV’T to do as part of the conditions of accepting the money. Then when the people complain, Obama gets upset at the companies. Then when...
