Zealots can hold a lot of contradictory material in the same brain with little effort. Somehow the arrogance of (self-)righteousness is a shield against cognitive dissonance. <br /><br />Weight loss has the drama built in, fits the narrative cycle of "sin-sorry-saved-sliding-sin-sorry-saved-and so on" perfectly for evangelist egotists like Huckabee.Skeptykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410100853211650429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135990113081206879.post-51673523011542698562010-08-17T19:36:03.054-07:002010-08-17T19:36:03.054-07:00This is such a coincidence; I just saw Huckabee on...This is such a coincidence; I just saw Huckabee on something yesterday or the day before, and I thought to myself that it looks like he's gaining weight back. Not that I really care one way or another, just that it reinforces my opinion that very few people can keep it off over any length of time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582987601133550868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135990113081206879.post-58588143899056301562010-08-17T12:06:16.372-07:002010-08-17T12:06:16.372-07:00Lap band surgery on a minor should be considered c...Lap band surgery on a minor should be considered child abuse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135990113081206879.post-76556517197174996372010-08-17T11:51:31.931-07:002010-08-17T11:51:31.931-07:00Fourteen and a half pounds in two weeks...yep, tha...Fourteen and a half pounds in two weeks...yep, that sounds fabulously healthy and not about the weight at all.

Also, The thing that really bothers me about Meme Roth isn't really that she is completely insane (many people are full of their own personal crazy) but that somehow she has established herself as some kind of health expert and that people listen to her. She has NO credentials as a health expert, and people either don't notice this or don't know enough to realize it. I mean, *I* would be more qualified to speak about children's health issues than her. Why do people listen to her? Personally, the dearth of critical thinking in American to evaluate information and assess its credibility worries me far more than the obesity epidemic.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655489689359862086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135990113081206879.post-7877857626103418672010-08-17T08:36:58.796-07:002010-08-17T08:36:58.796-07:00There is speculation around the internet that Huck...There is speculation around the internet that Huckabee actually had bariatric surgery... http://plutarch01.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/new-121007-300pm/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
