Here's the story on this image, which I took with the cameraphone, naturally, a week or so ago. This is one of the motivational posters dotted about the health club at work. At least in the women's locker room, the images are mostly of fit, strong, healthy looking women.

This is just a quick selection of articles about a topic that's currently dear to my heart: Congressional oversight. Unfortunately, a lot of shit is going to come to light, but unless there's a sexy-money scandal to get people lathered up over it, nothing will really change for the next couple of years. FT.com / World / US & Canada – Bush ‘distorted’ climate change reports The Bush administration has routinely suppressed or distorted communication of climate change science to the public, a climate specialist at Nasa’s Goddard Institute said on Tuesday. The accusation, before the chief oversight committee…

Bush's Four Anti-Terror Successes All Fictional | Let's Try Democracy Keith Olbermann recently cited these 4 statements lacking in truthiness. They're all vaguely familiar when you run down the background, and pumped up like a water-injected hotdog to look impressively beefy and unadulterated.

Hires:Product » Hamburger and Fry Sauce Two PackArctic Circle: Original Fry Sauce There are few things less healthy to eat, and few things more satisfying, than fries with fry sauce. It's kind of a Utah thing – it was written up during the Olympics, it showed up on pins and posters, but still a locally acquired taste. It's not just ketchup mixed with mayonnaise; there's a bit more kick to it than that. When I was growing up in Utah, there were several local burger eateries, and Mom and I went to them all in turn. We often went to…
