Hey Fatty Put Down That Toy!!!!

So the Nanny State types in San Francisco are lying about Happy Meals making kids fat. It seams that the "facts" may have been massaged just a little to support an agenda of "sustainable" agriculture for the city of San Francisco. They combine the data streams to get to the point that they want to make.

Again we are faced with the proof that Benjamin Disraeli was right when he said:

"There are three types of lies - lies, damned lies and statistics."

Well if it leads to a "greater good" isn't it all right?

No, it isn't.

If you think your kid is too fat, you should be the one to take care of it. Not some Politician with an ego problem.

If you think your neighbor's kid is too fat, STFD and STFU!

Ratings Aren't Good

Okay here are the numbers. Granted they are from two different weeks, but I don't think they are that off.

If you are wondering why John Phraud Kerry thinks the masses are uninformed, this might be the answer.
