			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is trim the tree day at work. Because I’m all about equality, peace and brotherhood in the workplace, I’m going to propose that we change it to trim the fat day – that way the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and atheists can participate.  And what’s more, we can nix the pizza and eat carrot sticks instead. I know, I&#8217;m virtually a saint.</p>

<p>For anyone who&#8217;s too lazy to read the <a href="http://www.michaelpollan.com/omnivore.php" target="_blank">Omnivore&#8217;s Dilemma </a>or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Food_Nation" target="_blank">Fast Food Nation</a>, you need to watch <a href="http://www.foodincmovie.com/spread-the-word.php" target="_blank">Food, Inc.</a> stat. It&#8217;s disturbing that the government and the food industry can get away with abusing workers and animals in factory farms, compromise the safety of the food we eat, and be the primary source for the obesity epidemic.</p>
<p>We can help change this. Stop being fat and lazy. Go to <a href="http://www.foodincmovie.com/spread-the-word.php">http://www.foodincmovie.com/spread-the-word.php</a> to help make a difference.</p>

If she gave two shits about America&#8217;s obesity epidemic, then she would be touting lettuce, not fried chicken.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An anorexic (or close to it). We&#8217;re not here to endorse one party over another because, frankly, they both suck. But on Friday, California <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Governor</span> Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger made a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/01/us/politics/01mccain.html" target="_blank">comment</a> that made me think - He said Barack Obama needs to beef up &#8220;those skinny legs&#8221; and &#8220;scrawny little arms.&#8221;</p>
<p>I see nothing wrong with skinny legs and, in fact, have a couple myself, which is why I can&#8217;t stop thinking about how great would it be to have a <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121755336096303089.html" target="_blank">skinny</a>, scrawny inspiration in the White House. Obama is not just the working person&#8217;s candidate or the black American&#8217;s candidate. He&#8217;s the anorexic&#8217;s candidate.</p>
