Fat Apron

New word of the day! Fat apron! And a lesson in the limits of positive self image. Sometimes, you also need surgery.

Imagine trying to get around with a 110-pound belly pack. That’s an amazing amount of weight … what does a 1,200-pound person eat? “Anything and everything I could get my hands on,” Jeannette said. “I would eat until I was so full I was sick. Then an hour later, I would be stuffing my face again.” .. Today, she’s 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 435 pounds.

800 down, 200 more to go! I notice that obesity is a communicable disease. Most of her kids and grandkids mentioned in the article are grotesquely obese as well.

Wicked World

Sad stories of child abuse are unfortunately too common, but sometimes the staggering duplicititous mendacity of some abusers takes my breath away.

A 75-year-old city man was arrested Wednesday on charges of impregnating a 10-year-old girl he met at his senior center [he] admitted having sex on several occasions with the girl, but claimed she had enticed him … [she] is six months pregnant … [he met her] through an “Adopt-a-Godfather” program at the housing complex … he said he never forced the girl to have sex with him … he bought her clothes and gifts, and she repaid him with sex.

This is wrong in so many ways. She claims she awoke to find him raping her. Even if his account was true, he incontrovertibly had sex with a seriously minor, and furthermore, if his account is true she has already been unduly sexualised through some prior abuse. So now instead of one abuser we have two abusers.

Staining The Star Of David

This Jewish politician sums it up:
Sharon has ordered his troops to use methods of barbarism against the Palestinians … It is time to remind Sharon that the Star of David belongs to all Jews and not to his repulsive government. His actions are staining the Star of David with blood. The Jewish people, whose gifts to civilised discourse include Einstein and Epstein, are now symbolised throughout the world by the blustering bully Ariel Sharon.
