As a 6'3" man whose is very careful to keep my weight within a narrow band between 235 and 315, let me just say one thing: It’s about time the big brothers got some love.
The question for me is what is the reaction over Hastert's camp when they get the clipping? Shock? (He's not fat! He's husky!) Or do you think Hastert's chief of staff is yelling, "Somebody get on the phone to the people at Denny’s. There’s got to be an endorsement deal to be worked out here and see if they’ll throw in a daily complementary Grand Slam breakfasts for the whole office!"
I work out at a gym every morning around the same time as a large group of geriatric racquetballers & treadmill marathoners. What always impresses me about these guys is their complete comfort with their own bodies. I guess if you've had it for seventy-plus years, you might as well make peace with it.
Thanks Mr. Keillor for pointing out some positive readings of a spare tire.
