"Will changing the shape of food guidelines get Americans in better shape?
The Obama administration hopes so.
Today, they unveiled a replacement for the food pyramid -- and this time they are using a circle."
The answer to the question is NO!
But these same government functionaries who scream for government to keep out of our bedrooms now want the feds in our kitchens 3 times a day.
I wonder if they will make a "snack plate" so the can live in our kitchens 24/7.

"Like last year, nearly one in five motorists were found unfit to drive"
It took a government funded "study" to figure that out?
And guess what ALWAYS follows a government funded study that concludes people aren't smart enough to do something?
Yep! More federal/state money to make the people "smarter".
That always works...right?

"Times columnist Paul Krugman too jumps into the fray for his part.
He wants “W.P.A.-type programs putting the unemployed to work doing useful things like repairing roads… a serious program of mortgage modification, reducing the debts of troubled homeowners… [and] [w]e could try to get inflation back up to the 4 percent rate”.
Basically, the Left wants more of the same — more “stimulus”—which has already failed.
We know that because of the 4.2 percent decline in home values in the first quarter as measured by the S&P/Case Shiller home price index."

Off the 'gravy train'
Off the 'gravy train' - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"'The debate about global warming has reached ridiculous proportions and is full of micro-thin half-truths and misunderstandings,' he says.
'I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the evidence, was once an alarmist, but am now a skeptic.'
Empirical evidence from the '90s showed that CO2 is not the primary driver of global temperatures, Evans says.
'(R)ather than admit they were wrong, the governments, and their tame climate scientists, now outrageously maintain the fiction that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant.'
Naturally, Evans has been vilified by other 'experts' because of his remarks.
But, as with other skeptics, his assertions are dismissed, not debated.
It is, as Evans says, a comfortable gravy train for all aboard."

Today has 2 interesting items:
1. $80 grand to train 10 Heights kids for jobs in the construction business......you might ask "what jobs". They probably won't.
2. Remember the big millage that raised money to redo the Frauenthal and the Walker. Well, that money has been paid back but the county wants to keep the millage and spend the money on......well, they don't say.
We'll talk about that today at 2:00
All are invited.
Just ask for Jim

Guess which Muskegon marina is city owned and which is owned by a tax paying, privately owned company. Why does ANY government body own marinas?
