		<description>Since the Bronze Professor doesn&#039;t seem to be around right now, I&#039;m going to have to try to do this myself. 

The article has a purpose not readily apparent to the careful reader (i.e., S&amp;L readers). It is important to note that these are a small minority. 

In headline and throughout, the terms &quot;Law&quot; and &quot;Health&quot; are inextricably linked, as are &quot;legislature&quot; and &quot;lifestyle&quot;. Since most readers will take away a general impression, rather than a reasoned opinion, I would judge the article to be first class propaganda. 

I must recommend Jacques Ellul&#039;s &quot;Propaganda: The Formation of Men&#039;s Attitudes&quot; to everyone who victimized by such efforts (everyone).</description>

		<description>Little question that our public officials are addicts, criminals, liars, narcissists and every other kind of personality disorder in much higher %&#039;s than the general public.

I&#039;m highly suspicious of the best of them.  The siren song of wealth and power is impossible to resist.

But didn&#039;t some very wise people come up with the firewall to prevent power-mad idealogues from taking over our country.  It was named something like the Constitution.

But that documant, dispite surviving virtually unchanged for 230 year, is under attack daily becauase it is all-of-a sudden out-moded and flawed.

Elite judges who have spent their lives in academia are so much better able to rule us if they don&#039;t pay any attention to stifling and archaic cocepts like &quot;thelaw&quot;, &quot;the constitution&quot; and legal precident.</description>

		<description>Confucius, it would appear the surgery failed.  Perhaps Mr. Fat Fatty should go on the Biggest Loser.  I believe they had a contestant last year who also had some type of weight loss surgery and it failed but he lost weight there.  It probably be more productive than his time spent in Congress.  He&#039;s such a pig anyway though, yet if he has a heart attack because he&#039;s such a fat fatty he&#039;ll be just fine due to the excellent health coverage he receives.</description>

		<description>&quot;At what point in their lives do obese people not care anymore and just let themselves go?&quot;

Well, for me it&#039;ll be when socialized medicine takes over in this country. As soon as that happens I will balloon to 500lbs in order to point out the flaws of the socialized medicine system. It&#039;ll pretty much mirror my plan for living to be 250 years old in order to live long enough to point out the flaws of the SS system.</description>

		<description>Yes, that is Jerry Nadler.

In 2002, Nadler had duodenal surgery to lose weight.  He was a member of Congress at the time.

Interestingly, that kind of surgery was typically not covered by insurance in 2002.  So, who paid for his?</description>

		<description>To Proreason - you are right on the money.  I think I recognize Jerry Nadler, above, who when he flies commercial must, have to purchase at least two adjoining seats in first class.</description>

		<description>At what point in their lives do obese people not care anymore and just let themselves go? And instead of taking a good hard look in the mirror and take corrective action, they simply continue on towards the path of self-destruction. With food stamps fruits, vegetables, and even some cuts of beef are a lot cheaper than beer, junk food, or a pack of smokes. But evidently some people are too far gone to care anymore. And having unhealthy lawmakers setting a bad example doesn&#039;t help matters either.</description>

		<description>This hypocrisy reminds me of my aunt. She&#039;s morbidly obese with several ongoing health issues. She is strongly in favor of socialized medicine. The other day I mentioned that NY mayor Bloomberg was considering taxing soda and other junk foods - and that Democrats in Congress were considering such taxes as a way to raise money should nationalized health care pass. 

Her response (holding a glass of Coke)? &quot;Well, soda is not a very healthy food.&quot; She eats crap but has no problem with big government taxing her dietary choices, as long as they sound benevolent. She doesn&#039;t see the other side - the rationing, the costs, the regulations etching away at personal liberty.</description>

		<description>Michael Geer at American Thinker.com posted this, and it&#039;s just too good not to copy and paste it here ...

n the heels of Arizona&#039;s state officials announcing they&#039;re proposing to sell their citizen&#039;s &quot;public assets and capital improvements&quot; to raise cash in order to keep the sate funded coupled with Obamacare&#039;s mind blowing price tag and the constant cries from Washington for more money ... 

.... I recognize the symptoms as crack addicts. These elected &#039;tards are Spending Addicts and just as addicted as meth addicts. Your money and my money are their crank and they will kill to get their hands on more crank. They will lie, cheat steal to get more crank. The behavioral signals of addicts is all too well known ... high risk sexual behavior. violent aggression to get what they want. Threats, chronic intellectual impairment, tweaking, paranoia, depression followed by intense elation. Meth is a powerfully addicting drug because of it&#039;s intense stimulation, like voting yourself a hundred billion dollars of other people&#039;s money to spend as you want without restraint or consequence! Crank, like money releases high levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which stimulates brain cells, enhancing mood and body movement. A cocaine high lasts about 15-20 minutes, while a meth high lasts 2-14 hours. A money high lasts through the Wagyu dinner and the next House session of looting the tax slave. On the street it is known as crank, speed, crystal or ice. In Congress it&#039;s known as Appropriations. It can be a whitish or pale yellow crystal-like powder that can be chewed, ingested, injected, snorted or smoked. Or, a 1000 page Law no one has read but every member of Congress desperately seeks to lie with, as a harlot. 

Spending other people&#039;s money is as ridiculously addictive as kitchen sink Meth. It is personality altering and can cause violent, bizarre behavior. Other effects on the central nervous system include irritability, insomnia, confusion and paranoia, witness Barney Frank, Nancy Peolis her odd tics, Christopher Dood and Ted Kennedy, let alone any of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Who desperately need The Cure. Meth, like Appropriations, robs the body of calcium and appears to have a neurotoxic effect, damaging brain cells that contain dopamine and serotonin, another neurotransmitter. Over time meth appears to cause reduced levels of dopamine, which can result in symptoms like those of Parkinson&#039;s disease and type-two schizophrenia. Seriously, watch members of the House and witness their almost alien-like body signals and facial expressions as if there&#039;s interference in whatever frequency is channeling to them. Meth and Appropriations cause increased heart rate and blood pressure and can cause irreversible damage to blood vessels in the brain, producing strokes. Do I need to name names here? Other effects of meth include respiratory problems, irregular heartbeat and extreme anorexia. Its use can result in cardiovascular collapse and death. Ditto Appropriations. 

Our elected officials are addicts of the worst sort and need The Rehab in the worst way. 

And I do mean, worst way. 

Have compassion on our elected &#039;tards and get them the medical and psychological deprogramming help they&#039;re crying out for, because They Can&#039;t Stop.</description>
