Time for a Change?

This is kinda how we cook anyway, but given that the notion of high-quality foods that are full fat is delicious, I hope there's some truth to this.

Since we're talking so much about racism, maybe a look in the mirror isn't a bad idea.

Congressman Bennie Thompson said some terrible things about Mitch McConnell and Clarence Thomas last weekend, and he's sticking by them.

Here are some potential buyers of the Clippers should Donald Sterling decide to sell the team (or should the NBA prevail in forcing him to do so).

Haha, Maryland.

1. I'd pay $7 for that carton of milk.

2. Those are all pretty good exercises.

3. This is one of those debates that won't go away, but it's in the same vein as the article you posted about forbidden food.  Why are vegetables unappetizing to children?  Maybe that's where we should start.  I didn't like certain vegetables growing up because they were cooked poorly, and the fact that a spanking awaited me if I didn't eat them didn't help either.

4. Isn't this her decision?  Also, isn't sex appeal a pretty significant part of popular music?  Also, this is the false equivalence problem.  I again point to the fact that Cosmo, a women's magazine, features pictures of women who may or may not dress provocatively.  If there were demand for scantily clad men, I imagine we'd see it more often.  Perhaps there is a further question of whether anyone should be scantily dressed on a magazine cover, but that strikes me less as a sexism question and more as a morals question.

5. That's interesting.  How many facepalms were there when this study came out?

6. It's about time.  Upworthy is in serious need of some lampooning.

7. I don't need to forgive beets because beets shouldn't be sorry.  We just went through a traumatic experience together and need some space for now.  I do like beets, though.  But every now and then I have flashbacks and start smelling beets and getting paranoid...

8. Yeah... that was a problem for me too.  Good for him for running, though - I hope he wins.

1. I'm hoping that this 2 minutes of hate session is up soon.  It's definitely an interesting story to follow, but this is "bully the bullies," and I have a problem with that.  A lot of people seem to forget that laws and rules aren't just obstacles that need to be circumvented.  The rules are in place because of principles that the relevant constituencies have agreed to.  That's what bothers me about criticism of Justice Thomas like that of Rep. Thompson.  Does he even care about the law?  Let's all remember that Donald Sterling is a flawed human being just like the rest of us.

4. No, because I don't have a pedometer.  As long as my Fitbit is consistent (and I think it is), I don't care.  In any case, I think that devices like the Fitbit One (which goes in your pocket) are more accurate than wrist devices.

5. The issue here is that following the law leads to an unsavory result (like the guy who might have to go to jail 13 years later).  I understand why the judge followed the law.  What I don't understand is why the county didn't just come and knock on her door and say, "Dude, we've asked you like 10 times - give us $6 or we're taking your house."  I don't know whether a contrary holding would make for good law, but at any point the county can just stop and say, "Ok, give us $6 and we're all done wasting each other's time and money."
