MM – I totally agree with you. Our society is obsessed with being thin. I’ll admit I am too. You know it’s a complex issue to me b/c as a teen I was very overweight (am talking 230 pounds and 5’8) and I lost 80 + pounds and kept it off for 15 years purely from re-educating myself on what food I need to eat and working out. I never ever want to be heavy again – I remember the pain of being made fun of and not feeling “normal”. I understand that struggle you go through and it does suck that society frowns upon heavier people, especially women.
I also think being healthy is more important than being skinny. I mean I weigh 30 -40 pounds more than my skinny friends and I can out-run them and pick up heavy items and never grow tired b/c I am in shape and I look just as good, especially growing older. My Grandma always said better to have fat in the face, you will age better
No defending Palin, but I’m not sure she mangles more words than Bush who was an ivy. Public speaking/answering questions is no walk in the park and even the best have their off days.
We never have pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Always sweet potato. I didn’t have pumpkin pie until college when I went to a friend’s house for a holiday dinner.
I quit watching TV. Just Morning Joe. And I read the following books over the last three weeks: The Yankee Years by Torre, Lit by Mary Karr, Obama’s Wars by Bob Woodward, The big short by Michael Lewis. Started too big to Fail but it appears to suck.
Yams > Sweet Potato. love them both though
Sorry if I offended with the fat remark about Bristol.

They don’t use yams, Arkady. They use sweet potato. Yams would be terrible in pies.
