We're making fun of him because he's hugely rich, hugely famous, hugely irresponsible, and on the wrong side of just about every political issue. Which is to say, he's a Democratic Senator.<BR/><BR/>We stress explicitly what may have escaped the attention of some gentle readers: the picture is of Senator Ted Kennedy, D-Inebriation. The historical allusions, supplemented with a hyperlink, were supposed to clue you in.<BR/><BR/>It's the law of the SWNID univese that we only make fun of public figures, and then only for things that the public figure has control over. If you seek fame, you're fair game.<BR/><BR/>By the way, what is it about Democrats that get's them photographed in their swim trunks despite their epic proportions? Anyone remember that painful footage of Bill dancing with Hillary on the beach, he with his pasty, sunken chest, bird legs and big belly?<BR/><BR/>And notice how Dubya, undoubtedly our most physically fit Commander in Chief ever, has never been photographed without a shirt?<BR/><BR/>Hmm.Jon A.

After all, you're seldom wrong.<BR/>However, making fun of fat people is not cool. Yes, i'm one of them and i'm not proud of the fact and I accept that most, if not all, of the fault and responsibility is on my shoulders. I do have a few medical conditions that add to the challenge, not to mention emotional baggage, mental illness and addiction issues. If someone snapped my picture on the beach and I ended up on some guys blog being referred to as a whale that would sting a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15405788.post-1137864664769314632006-01-21T12:31:00.000-05:002006-01-21T12:31:00.000-05:00Actually, the evolution verdict is still out since...Actually, the evolution verdict is still out since the whale clearly shows signs of developing into a female, which, by anyone's standards, would count as a more adaptable, intelligent, and able form of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
