I was unaware that the US had passed the Board of Health Enabling Acts. Here I thought we had a constitution and a legislature to pass laws. I thought the board of health's job was sanitation, especially in poorer neighborhoods. Been to Harlem or Queens lately? They ain't clean. These idiots can't fix the real problems so they come up these out of left field, "fix-all" solutions. Only it won't work. People will still get heart disease and become obese. So they'll pass another ban on saturated fats. Then all fast food. Then all junk food. Then meat and potatoes will become too expensive for the poor to afford, so they'll pass a free grain dole. And by then we'll have a nice, subservient underclass ready to vote for whoever promises to increase the dole by a larger amount as the standard of living drops lower and lower.
First smoker, then fatties, couch potatoes are next (mandatory exercise, failure to comply results in revokation of health insurance?).
Just kidding. This is a great step forward. Almost a leap, really.
Cogito ergo sum?!? Latin? Here?
I thought King had finally grown a brain, or at least Buster was old enough to start giving him writing tips (Football tips wouldn't hurt either, look at the records). Then I saw the disclaimer. Please King, don't go using up all your brainpower at once. I remember a few years ago King used the word "ecdysiast" and the column wasn't the same for weeks.
You know, I'm really starting to believe these folks think names are just a series of sounds bereft of meaning.
