Hell yeah, it costs a lot to be fat- they don’t give away those big gulps and pork rinds, you know

Dear Senator Baucus:

Choke on cock.

Sincerely yours,
Every American who has been sick, ever.

Mika Brezinskirafensanidenijad is so concerned about these “obese” she actually scorned an emailer on Morning Starbucks. I just had no idea she could be so “judgmental”. She even shook her head and looked off camera!!

today we are all obese.

Meh. If we’re going to arrest every American who plots/supports terrorism in foreign countries, then half of South Boston should be in jail for what they did in the ’80s.

Beer, the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.

Cape Clod July 28, 2009 at 9:02 am

I’ll accept being a fat load with all the associated health problems as long as you don’t seperate me from my baconaisse and deep fried candy bars. It’s a fair trade off as far as I’m concerned.

DoctorCulturae July 28, 2009 at 9:03 am

My hope is no one chokes or slips on account of any pretzels.

widget09 July 28, 2009 at 9:03 am

When you say its expensive to be obese, does that mean how much money it takes to fill your gigantic boiler?

Paul Tardy July 28, 2009 at 9:06 am

Golly pilots are underpaid. There is only a certain amount of money the airline industry can have. POTUS Bush decided to make virtually all airport workers government workers, that leaves relatively little for such civilians as pilots. At this point you can privatize the airports or you can extend civil service employment to pilots.

Who knew the Irish had a serious grudge against jolly ole England (like half the world doesn’t!)

As for the costs of being obese. Well, it looks like Red States/South are not only affecting the gravitational rotation of the Earth, but also one of the biggest reasons for the growing cost of healthcare. Damn you chicken fried steak, pan fried steak, over fried steak, chicken fried chicken, chitlins, chicken fried hamburger, chicken friend catfish, corn dogs, chicken fried corn dogs, deep fried coleslaw, deep fried ice cream, chicken fried Snickers and hush puppies.

Would it be insensitive for Obama to serve a black & tan?

Terry July 28, 2009 at 9:23 am

What the heck is Daniel Patrick Boyd doing robbing banks in Pakistan and planning jhiad in Raleigh, NC? Shouldn’t he drinking in a bar, dropping money in an “widows and orphans fund” can, and crying over crimes committed against him and his in the 1840′s?

Suds McKenzie July 28, 2009 at 9:23 am

[re=372103]Paul Tardy[/re]: Considering a two week vacation and my minimal math skills; $16,800 comes to $8.40 an hour before taxes. So yeah, maybe she was a little grumpy. Jimminy Jillikers.

Actually, the whole beer story makes me weep for American journalism.

Goose Island beer? Fuck that shit! PABST BLUE RIBBON!

Obama should Tusker, just to fuck with the birthers:

Gates drinks Red Stripe? Well, that answers that.

Yea beer, tovarich!

hobospacejunkie July 28, 2009 at 9:34 am

Send those suicide boys to the “church” of scientology. Nothing cancels out cult programming like more cult programming. And who knows, maybe one of ‘em will get to eat Tom Cruise’s placenta. For Xenu.

My drywaller is not a jihadist, thank you very much. He’s a perfectly nice illegal alien.

Manos: Hands of Fate July 28, 2009 at 10:06 am

I think Obama needs to crack open a case of Schaefer: “the one beer to have when you’re having more than one.”

No, Natty Boh. It’s from the Land of Pleasant Living, or used to be at least. It would show his commitment to being a local around here, too.

Naked Bunny with a Whip July 28, 2009 at 10:14 am

horribly underpaid and fighting off a bad head cold.

Yeah, I know how that feels. However, nobody noticed when I crashed my cubicle.

Mahousu July 28, 2009 at 10:34 am

They should all just pound back (Dogfish Head) 120s until they collapse on the floor. Which would take about two or three of them at most.

natoslug July 28, 2009 at 10:56 am

Pass the feckin’ health care reform and I’ll work on dropping the 70 pound tribute to wine, chocolate, tempura and a desk job that I store in my midsection.

Car Ramrod July 28, 2009 at 10:58 am

So what’s the over-under on the US invading Jamaica just to make Gates happy?

Tusker? TUSKER!!?? My liquor store bought a case of Tusker and sold one sixer in two years. To me. Even Bud drinkers don’t like Tusker. Even the Kenyans hate Tusker.

Feh.

If Obama is going to be compared to Hitler by wingnuts, he might as well do something to deserve the comparison and institute two hours of mandadtory hula at all public schools.

AxmxZ July 28, 2009 at 12:43 pm

[re=372113]Suds McKenzie[/re]: It was $15,800, not $16,800.
