"When you hear a report on tv or the radio about the obesity epidemic, question where they got their information from. The American study that is so oft quoted figured the number of deaths from obesity at 400,000 but unfortunately none of the media agencies pulled their flailing arms out of the air when that figure was brought down to 25,814. That's a huge revision, and while the CDC released the revised number, the media and marketing people clung to the hype (interesting article from the Skeptical Inquirer). Turns out, reducing the "Obesity Epidemic" to a load of bunkum doesn't make anyone money. Question every thing you see and hear about the Obesity Epidemic OOGA BOOGA - you usually find that the people funding these studies have fingers in a few interesting puddings (eg: those nutrient devoid Weight Watchers desserts!)"

This picture of the election protests in Iran takes my breath away. While admiring the courage of the Iranian people I also can't help but wonder why we (the American people) didn't stand up to Bush in 2000. Why?
"Spanish prosecutors will seek criminal charges against Alberto Gonzales and five high-ranking Bush administration officials for sanctioning torture at Guantánamo."
