I miss eating preservatives.
Madness!

This woman says some of the things that a man just can’t say, like how men have been deprived of their reproductive rights, and how two parents really are better than just a mother. [WARNING: profanity] I laughed out loud. I’ve been accused of misogyny before on this site, and this link won’t […]

I went to Rabat today, the capital city. We mostly spent time in the “MegaMall”. It was nice, but expensive. I went ice-skating, bowling, but most importantly, ate 2 triple cheeseburgers at a Quik and took home a large hamburger pizza from Pizza Hut. Almost took home two, but Pizza Hut has […]

I think that I meet the clinical criteria for fast-food addiction.
The 12 steps include:
1) Hardees
2) Wendy’s
3) Arby’s
4) Burger King
5) the Wendy’s near work
6) McDonalds
7) Thorton’s gas station (love those sausage-biscuits)
8) KFC
9) Chik-fil-a
10) Subway
11) Sonic
12) White Castle
 These twelve steps might not be in the right directions, but  . . . um, there’s also Little Ceasars.  Pizza Pizza.
 
Madness. […]

Forbes pulled the article referenced below, and replaced it as a point-counter-point piece.  The counter-point, however, is by a feminist who calls men lazy and explains why failed marraiges are really their fault.

Madness!

New stem cell proceedure does not harm embryo, but the embryo gets thrown away anyway.  Who wants to raise a kid missing a stem cell?
 
Among former embryos, the happiest people are old, married, church-going, evangelical, rich, college-educated, retired, laid-back, male, conservative, white, suburban, Republican, healthy, sunbelt-living, parents. Is anyone surprised?  Do young, poor, black, urban, […]

Forbes is reporting that men who want to be happy (not every man, apparently) should steer clear of and not marry career women.  In a successful marraige, women should cook the bacon, not bring it home.
 Divorse makes one really unhappy (duh!), and staying single is about as good as a bad marraige, although a good marraige […]

I just finished an hour bike ride.  Twenty minues out, my heartrate is still noticeably above normal, which can be interpreted as either good or bad.
 An article today reports that two new studies confirm that even a few extra pounds contribute to early death.
While I am still in the middle of the BMI chart, I […]
