Another Scoop From Iowahawk

He's managed to get a copy of Michael Moore's chronicles from the fat farm. This is almost too cruel to link to. But then again, it is Michael Moore we're talking about here:

Dear Friends,

You and I have stood strong against Ashcroft's PATRIOT act and it chilling impact on our liberties. This morning I learned just how fragile those liberties can be. During breakfast weigh-in, Sergio suddenly stopped me -- without probable cause, without so much as a warrant -- and forced me to empty my pockets on a dining hall table. Without even the most basic judicial review or appeal process, he embargoed 6 of my Snickers energy bars, even after I explained I needed the quick energy boost for AM calisthenics. Dude, where is my country?

The Centers for Disease Control has made a determination that obesity is a disease. Would you make fun of Michael Moore if he suffered from diabetes, cancer or heart disease, you foul man?

The Centers for Disease Control has made a determination that obesity is a disease.

That doesn't make it one.

Would you make fun of Michael Moore if he suffered from diabetes, cancer or heart disease, you foul man?

Probably, but not about the illness. I would certainly continue to mock his foolish behavior and moronic and illogical pronouncements. Being sick doesn't give one license to say whatever one wants without criticism (any more than having a son killed in Iraq should render a woman immune from having the vapidity of her sentiments described).

Your hypersensitivity on Mr. Moore's plight is pretty funny in itself. He's made a good living off of mocking other people (often most unfairly). Turnabout is more than fair play.

Obesity is a disease? If so it is largely (no pun intended) a self-inflicted one. If Moore injected himself with dangerous viral strains thus inflicting himself with other "diseases" I would make fun of him for being so stupid as to do so. No big difference that I can see between that and his shoveling copious amounts of food into his mouth thus leading to his suffering from “obesity disease”.
