Yeah, But I've Lost 15 LBs Since Then

...and I know karate, which you can't tell from the picture.

By the way, I am now Number 9, ahead of Taylor, Janke, Kinsella, and Ezra. When do the blogging mega-bucks kick in? Its bullshit if I'm fighting the Nazis for nothing.

Ahh don't feel bad, BCL. That posting was clearly a cheap shot and completely unnecessary. Even though I agree with at least some of his politics...politics doesn't trump basic courtesy.

And I too am struggling with unwanted weight...been trying to get rid of 120 unwanted pounts...but she won't leave...

*rim-shot*

I see they're too chicken to show the Conservative bloggers - why?

Speaking of man-boobs and all - have you looked at the Tory caucus?

I mean really - Harper, Larry Miller, John Baird, Jason Kenney (is he still a virgin?), Del Mastro and there are more - now that's heavy weight for ya.

I suppose that the point of my initial post was that not many of us are capable of producing professionally-made-up, air-brushed, absolutely delicious photos of ourselves.

But to use ordinary photos of ordinary people, not necessarily taken under ideal conditions...is wrong. And it falls into the category of a "cheap shot" when someone uses that photo to make a point, simply based on appearance, for political or other motives.

I mean, Albert Einstein could probably never be confused with Brad Pitt....well, you know where I'm going with this...

I'm not a bad looking guy...but I'm not George Clooney either. And I hate the fact that someone would denigrate my many career accomplishments based solely on appearance in a candid snapshot.

It's just wrong...regardless of which side of the political spectrum one may be on...

I'm sorry, I'm still too grossed out by the Penis Ronald McDonald picture to even take a cheap shot here. Might need another day or two.

OK, I'm good.

Have you seen the registration fees for marathons, and even 10Ks, lately? Nintety five bucks for the Toronto Marathon, even if you sign up a month in advance. What the fuck? *I* pay *you* a yard to run forty two kilometres? Are they purposely trying to keep people away? Do they not have sponsors and volunteers? Who the fuck is pocketing the money? Cunts.

Well geez, fakename...

If you don't want to do it...don't do it. Period. I compete in a lot of 10ks...get the appropriate (quality) T-shirt, ,and then after the finish we have what I consider n appropriate final ceremonies. To wit...everyone gets a taste of some "chamagne", and then eveyone goes home....and in my case...i absorb about 10 ounces of 18 year old scotch to alleviate the incredible pain I'm feeling...

Doesn't Kathy Shaidle call you "Big Titty Lib?"

You think that's where she got it? Don't make me cry, Ti-Guy.

Why would you cry? You've got a fine rack. Pert, supple...Kathy's just jealous because she can't keep hers above the empire waist.
