Hurry! Get Your Cheesecake Layered Pancakes While They Last (09 Aug 2010) It's no wonder close to 40% of people in this country are overweight and we're in the middle of a diabetes explosion. This morning, I turned on the news and was greeted by an ad from IHOP that promised five layer pancakes, stacked with crustless cheesecake and topped by your choice of strawberries, blueberries, or apple compote, with a coating of whipped cream.
Boy Scouts Now Offering A Merit Badge In Video Games (09 Aug 2010) I must be feeling my age, this week. Either that, or this place has
some extraordinary pollen in the air. Earlier this week, British
astro-physicist Stephen Hawking told us that aliens are definitely
out there, but warned that talking to them would not be a good idea.
The 68 year old Hawking says that a visit by extraterrestials to
Planet Earth would be like Christopher Columbus arriving in the
America's, "which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans."
Chinese Obamacare (09 Aug 2010) Yesterday, I received an email containing a very troubling story from China, which many leftists would like us to emulate. While China has made many strides forward in the past few decades, it also has a deep and very dark underbelly, that doesn't get enough
coverage.
Fish Oil May Help Stop Psychosis And Other Mental Illnesses (09 Aug 2010) Mental illness is certainly growing in this country and one only needs to point in the general diection of Washington, D.C., to confirm that we are only steps away from political psychosis. For the past few days, I have been following the so-called "financial
reform bill," proposed by the Senate Democrats, which is not really a reform at all, but another "license to steal."
Alternative Medicine Under Attack (09 Aug 2010) Over the past few weeks, there have been an unprecedented number of
attacks on Alternative Medicine by members of the mainstream media.
The only trouble with this is that they don't know anything more
than the big pharmaceutical companies are telling them. If they did
even a modest amount of research themselves, they would know that
they are being used as pawns in a billion dollar game.
Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. Diet & Weight Loss Secrets of Bodybuilders and Fitness Models: #1 Best Selling Diet & Fitness E-Book In Internet History!
Am I Becoming A Fattist (09 Aug 2010) Over the weekend, I paid a visit to COSTCO, because I needed some printer ink and some fruits and vegetables, to go along with my Greek yogurt. It was a very busy day at the farm, as they say. I knew this, because I had to wait a minute or two for a cart, so I
could go in.
Don't Scratch Your Nose With A Gun (09 Aug 2010) Yesterday, I was focusing on news from around the world and I found
some real gems that I thought I'd share with you today. The first
story comes from our Rooshkie friends, dateline Moscow, where a 23
year old Moscow policeman fell victim to his own carelessness.
Oprah In Tears...Vows Never To Diet Again (09 Aug 2010) Oprah is back where she started years ago, crying for ratings. This time, it's about dieting and Oprah, who has gained and lost the equivalent of several bodies over the years, declares, "I'm never dieting again." I had to laugh at this, when I heard it, even though
I'm sure she had millions of sympathetic wide ends riveted to their oversize seats.
What Your Underwear Says About You (09 Aug 2010) Fat folks don't like new underwear and that's a fact. While new underwear might have a lot going for it, fat folks really don't like it all that much, because it isn't stretched out and that new elastic is too tight and tends to chafe, in addition to the regular rub.
4.5 Billion To Die From Global Warming by 2012 (09 Aug 2010) Today, I get to combine global warming and the 2012 nuts, all together in a neat package. The global warming alarmists, led by the left reverend Fat Al G, have been in full retreat for several months. More and more professional weather people are jumping off the Gore wagon and back to reality. The case against global warming started in England, jumped to India and has been bouncing all over the world since last Fall.
Book, Kindle, or Nook (09 Aug 2010) Last week, I got in quite a bit of time for reading and I'll give you the lowdown. A friend sent me a box of books (he's always way ahead of me) and there was a lot of good stuff in the package. He sent the last three books by Lee Childs, the guy who created one of the better characters around, Jack Reacher, and I read all of them in three days. A good thriller is one you don't want to put down and all three passed that test.
How To Eat Pizza While On A Food Plan (09 Aug 2010) One way to kill your weight loss progress is falling back into old
habits, like ordering up a nice gooey pizza.
Back when I was Long Island Fatz, pizza was one of my weaknesses. In
fact, I could do a whole pie by myself, which used to give me a kind
of perverse pleasure. (No pie can defeat me!)
Dr. Bill's Doubledown Or KFC Doubledown (09 Aug 2010) A few weeks ago, Kentucky Fried Chicken debuted what it called a "Double Down Sandwich." I remember reading reviews of the offering on the internet and almost every single one gave the sandwich a big thumbs down. I saw the offering on television once and started laughing about the reviews, because I knew that KFC had a real winner and they would sell millions of them.
Heinz Ketchup Changes Its Recipe (09 Aug 2010) Heinz Ketchup, one of America's iconic brands, has succumbed to the current hysteria about salt, led by the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, and his ally, Michelle Obama, who now heads the deluded food police. Bloomberg wants to ban salt in restaurants in New York and obviously feels this would be a terrific contribution to the health of all New Yorkers.

The Vertical Project. Why Increase Your Vertical Leap by 6-12 Inches, When You Can Double It?
Where Is Your Third Kidney? (09 Aug 2010) Now, some of you probably think this is a trick question, but I assure you it is not. The body has five main elimination channels and the kidneys happen to be one of them. The third kidney really isn't a kidney, but it has the ability to rid the body of toxic waste, up to one pound a day.
Can You Build Muscle When You're 64 (09 Aug 2010) Back...way back in the early 1970's...I met a guy who had been the welterweight boxing champion of the world for a few years, back in the mid 1940's. I was in my twenties and he was in his sixties. He was a very engaging gentleman and he challenged me to a game of chess, which turned into several games, all of which he won.
Food At The Cheesecake Factory Is Fattening (09 Aug 2010) Just in case you've been living under a rock (something of which my wife occasionally accuses me), The Center for Science In The Public Interest has released another report that is making its way through the media. They are telling us what they spent a bunch of money and time to figure out: that is, some restaurant food is fattening and has a high sodium content.
What About El Chupacabra (09 Aug 2010) Today, I read an interesting letter written to the editors at Field and Stream magazine, written by one Odie Ellis. Mr. Ellis wants the federales to list Bigfoot under the Endangered Species Act.
Weighing In On The Roethlisberger Situation (20 May 2010) I listened to sports radio today and all the talk was about Big Ben
Roethlisberger, the quarterback of the Pittsburg Steelers, who in
the words of Country Joe and the Fish, "got himself in a terrible
jam." Big Ben would never be mistaken for a rocket scientist. But in
the NFL, you don't have to be and you can make an incredible amount
of money with "football skills." Football skills don't necessarily
transfer to life skills.
