When ‘all-you-can-eat’ means ‘all-I-say-you-can-eat’
01/09/08 - If you follow the news, you know that obesity and its attendant maladies are at near epidemic levels in this country. We eat the wrong stuff, we eat way too much of it, and the only exercise a lot of us get is when we waddle to the kitchen for another snack.

The French they are a curious race; learning manners is no disgrace
01/19/07 - Acccording to an article I read the other day, chic French diners eat asparagus with their fingers and sorbet with their forks. This reminds me of a bit of doggerel about the French, in which they are said to” fight with their feet,” among other endearing habits. But I digress.

Al Qaeda chooses Zarqawi successor; Abu Hamza al-Muhajir draws short straw, demands recount
06/13/06 - Al Qaeda has named Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Muhajir as successor to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said a statement posted on MyJihad.com.

Forget chestnuts roasting on an open fire;
pass me the Chex mix

02/04/05 - If you’ve ever seen me in a t-shirt, it will come to no surprise to you to learn that I spend 11 months of the year working out – and by “working out,” I mean sitting on the sofa slamming chocolate chip cookies and washing them down with Gatorade.

Good news for old, fat mice
11/03/06 - Medical researchers have very good news for you – if you long to be a fat, old mouse.
