Portly Protesters

“Obesity is not a disease. All this does is open the door for the diet and bariatric surgery industries to make a potentially tremendous profit.” – Allen Steadham in “Fat activists start mass protest“

Riiiiight…and smoking isn’t bad for you either. The campaign against smoking is just a front for extortion by a hippocratic mafia. *rolls eyes*

While I agree that too much emphasis is placed on appearance, in particualr thinness, in our society, I don’t think that means all superfluous weight should be accepted. Some people have genetic predispositions to being overweight. They should seek help. Some people have emotional problems that lead to overeating. They, too, should seek help. Some people eat too many damn super-sized burger meals and unhealthy snacks and drink too much soda. They should quit stuffing their faces with fat , get off their lazy, gluttonous asses and get some friggin’ exercise! (Pardon my French)

P.S. I practice what I preach. I’ve been eating better and working out. I’ve lost about 25 pounds over the last year or so.

*shudder* This book shows some of the awful consequences of unfettered reform. One doesn’t generally think of such a think as “bad” prayer, but this stuff is atrocious. (Thanks, Waiting in Joyful Hope)

Actually, in this case, it’s loose disks. It seems some of our nation’s defenders
need a lesson in discretion and security.

Are
P2P networks leaking military secrets?
By John Borland, Staff Writer,
CNET News.com

A new Web log is posting what it purports are pictures, documents
and letters from U.S. soldiers and military bases in Iraq and elsewhere–all of
which the site’s operator claims to have downloaded from peer-to-peer networks such
as Gnutella.

“the conservatives will surely lose as the steamroller of
history and progress flattens out their bigotry just as it did to the substantial
number of white supremacists who used to exist in this country” – Larry Lord

Wow. So much for progressives being warm fuzzy types. Yikes. Progress as a steamroller,
eh? All the better to destroy civilization, I guess.

Anybody care to reply
to this nut? (The original post is here.)

Theologian
calls music ministers trailblazers of Vatican II church

Music ministers are trailblazers leading lay people to their proper role in the church following the Second Vatican Council, a leading theologian told a gathering of pastoral musicians in Philadelphia July 8.

Few Catholics realize the “sacramental significance” of the entire congregation of worshippers giving themselves to God in a collective song of praise, said Dominican Father Paul J. Philibert, one of the main speakers at the Eastern Regional Convention of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians.

Father Philibert described music ministers as “key players for the emerging
new church in the age of baptismal empowerment”.

I don’t know about you folks, but I get nervous when theologians start using language
borrowed from radical feminists.

Here’s an antidote to this madness.
