Please Note: My personal journal is now fully independent of my main personal Web site, but I am still working on some things such as my new page designs and many improvements to PageDrive, my software that runs my journal site. If you encounter any technical problems, please either just try again a while later or let me know.
I try to avoid stereotypes. For example, while political trends as a whole seem to indicate that the so-called red states are dominated by vile, idiotic, warmongering savages, I know that this is not representative of everyone who happens to live in those states. Nonetheless, I must admit that I am not even slightly surprised that according to a CDC report cited on CNN.com and FoxNews.com, every single one of the top ten most obese states is one of those same states.
I was going to write something funny about that—maybe something about red-state politics being unlikely to trouble us for long due to heart attacks or something about poofy hair and heavy makeup—and I even took a while to mull it over and feed my cat her weight-control food, but the notion of a large-scale obesity problem is really just too disturbing for me to deliver jokes straight at the moment. Wow. Just wow.
