A Few Recent Observations

Click on the title of this entry for the full story on the movement to have McDonald's retire Ronald.  Yep, apparently Ronald is "The Devil" and a big reason for childhood obesity.  Okay, so a Clown that a chain of restaurants have been using for decades now to give their facilities a Family Friendly atmosphere is apparently making children fat.  Really?????  Let's see, I'm a chubby adult, but I wasn't a fat kid.  I ate McD's and all the others, but not all the time.   I think the real reason for the ever fattening up of our children is the expense to eat healthy.  Seriously, have you ever tried to shop for healthier foods????  Shit's expensive!!!!  I was discussing this with one of the guys that works at our local YMCA.  Healthy food=huge expense.  Unhealthy food (our example was Hamburger Helper) 50 cents...... Higher cost, but you live longer, or cheap and death?   Today's families are very busy.  Lot's of multi-tasking going on and folks need to eat.  Unfortunately, most chain restaurants kill you with the portions and the fat and calories.   Also the prices.  I love me some Olive Garden, but it's salty, fatty and expensive!   Hey Mr. Ranter, it's chicken mostly....oh yes Dear Reader you are correct.  It is Chicken mostly.  Chicken in a cream sauce, heavily salted!!!!  More of these chains need to be like Applebee's.  They have a whole Weight Watchers section with the point value of the entrees laid out.  They also have their under 550 calorie dishes.  Their prices are decent as well.   I don't think it's Ronald making kids fat; I think it's a generation of lazy ass kids with parents too exhausted to force them to get off their asses, put the game controller down, and go the hell outside and play! 

I saw an ad on Faux News the other night...no I don't watch it at home, it's always on one of the TV's at the Y.  I mean it is the South and all......about Sorehead Failin's new show "Real American Stories" or some "Patriotic" blow red white and blue sunshine up your ass name like that.  Anyway, the guests on the show included Toby Keith...gee now surprise there....and LL Cool J.  I paused thinking to myself "Really??? LL???"  Come to find out Sorehead was going to use an interview he did two years ago and re-show it.  LL's people made a statement saying he would not be appearing on her show, nor had he been asked.  Apparently Toby Keith's appearance is going to be a rebroadcast of an interview he did last year.  His people have made a statement as well.   Gee Sorehead, you have to stoop to rebroadcasting other people's interviews and claiming them as "guests" on your show why?  Oh that's right, no one is going to watch the damn show anyway....you've got to get the asses in the seats somehow huh Dumbass.   Keep trying Sorehead....the Real Americans see through your bullshit.   Here's hoping the Teabagger express derails with her on it.....
