Debauchery.

Big news Chicago ended it's first run tonight, and this is the debauchery I see. Amazing and petrifying.

Response to: An Open Letter to Outraged Republicans

[from Huffington Post]

Dear Everyone,

Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. Sometimes even I scare me a little bit. That Rush Limbaugh keynote yesterday just released a little pent-up bile.

I will respond to one of the commenters, though. S/he said that I was taking a cheap shot by referencing gigantic, waddling, massive, Jabba-the-Human type citizens. S/he said that a fat joke is similar to Ann Coulter calling John Edwards a Faggot. Absolutely true. There are many people who are healthy and happy who have BMIs higher than, say, Angelina Jolie. My apologies to those happy people in this category.

I *will* defend the sad truth behind the argument: there is a staggering statistical significance in the relationship between poverty and obesity in this country. This might be because studies in my hometown of Chicago have shown that the lower the per-capita income of a neighborhood, the less likely it will be for that neighborhood to have a grocery store within walking distance.

It is also a scientific fact that if you put your finger in Ann Coulter, your village will not flood.

Sadly, in this country health has become a luxury of the upper classes, and that is the real tragedy. Nothing turns me more Red than thinking of the Snackfood-Industrial Complex preying on disproportionately lower income consumers. For many of the working poor, their asses have become an appendage of the Machine.

Slightly less hysterically,
