No, there's nothing you can do. Disney representatives are in their cribs as we speak.

Although it pains me to say it, that was a quality win for Da Bears. Seattle was simply dismissed. Congrats. Now please don't let the Jets or Steelers win the Super Bowl.

Awww, this is such a cute age.

Incredibly belated Happy Birthday to the little man. "I'm glad we have pictures." Indeed...

Ive always thought I looked a lot like Larry from Threes Company, but with green hair. So yeah, its a pretty accurate depiction.

I was fascinated by the design on the shirt, too! I think I was wearing a t-shirt from a coffee shop in Hawaii with a surfer on it, so maybe thats her interpretation. Or, to your point, its my still-beating heart being ripped from my chest. TW

I think it's all backwards. It's not that so many HEUMCWD's are whiners, it's that so many whiners just happen to be HEUMCWDs. And a bunch of whiners are moms. And I work with a bunch of whiners. And dear lord are there a lot in the media. And when I can't get my company to buy some cool gadget that I want because it makes my nipples hard and they won't buy my excuse that I need it "to have more work-life balance" then I might whine a little, too. But that's because I'm a baby who wants something and can't have it. And to all the HEUMCWDs who want something and can't have it, you could (a) try harder, which often works well when you take responsibility for it yourself instead of asking everyone else to accommodate your needs, or you could (b) gain a little confidence in who you are and what you're able to do within the constraints of your life. Or better yet you could (c) stop reading articles like this which are written to elicit precisely this response and sell more advertising space. I think my blatant oversimplification of Jason's point is "get over yourselves" which is fairly applied here. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go meet Whit in the mens bathroom. I think he needs to be changed.

I think picking the exact opposite of me is a good long term strategy. It also works when picking stocks and contractors.

I think it's naive that this program will "fix" anything by itself. But as long as the government is on the hook for any portion of the long-term health care of Americans it's most definitely their problem. Fat kids lead to unhealthy adults, which create a burden on the health care system. And although the general concept of not regulating stupid is something I agree with, you can't just blame chalk it up to stupidity. The food industry packs so much harmful crap into what we eat--and use as much misdirection as possible to mask it--that it's inevitable that people will put too much crap in their bodies, particularly if a Big Mac is cheaper than an organic pepper. I'm sure they're looking at this as a multi-pronged approach to dealing with those long-term health care costs. They're tackling insurers, health care providers, the food industry (to a horribly inefficient extent) and now the people. We probably all grew up raised by parents who enjoyed the miracles of prepared foods without thinking that they would be bad for us, especially when what THEY ate when they were kids farm fresh(ish). Now it's time to expose that truth to people, and using the pulpit of the presidency seems like a reasonable idea to me. If it inspires a few people to eat better and teachers to build it into their lesson plans then what's the harm?

Yeah, I dream of winning the Super Bowl, too...

How do you DO this? You missed your calling, my friend. Classic.

You just made me cry, motherfucker
