I'm no fan of Gordon's on the track (I'm a Junior fan), but how can you not respect someone who's done this?
'Nuff said.

Government needs to battle childhood obesity?
While I'm ranting... why is it exactly that the State has to address childhood obesity?
Oh, that's right... because parents refuse to take care of it themselves, the gubment has to come swooping in with another ill-formed solution designed only to buy votes.
Thank you Governor Henry. Just what we needed: another reason to push responsibility (and therefore freedom) out the door. Maybe we should just push our kids out the door to get some exercise rather than spin up another big spending program.

Brought to you by a homophobic Bible-belt Republican politician...
Here's a flash of brilliance brought forth by Sally Kern, one of Oklahoma's state representatives:
This is a perfect example of another overzealous moron trying to foist her ideals on others via poorly constructed arguments that aren't logical and do not follow. This is a perfect example of why I refuse to have anything to do with religion. This is not a proud day for my state.
In related news, leave it to the Bible-belters to pull another fast one on their constituents. And to think, we made fun of Kansas when they were in the news trying to put mysticism and ghosts in front of education. I reckon it's better to Rep. Kern and the other flat-earthers in Oklahoma's legislature for our children to grow up into procreative troglodytes who know nothing of the real world that surrounds them. Gays a threat? Hardly. Religious zealots a threat? You bet. Take a look at al Qaeda.
Representative Kern: Thank you (and those like you) for embarrassing our state on a national and/or global scale. Tell you what: if you want to live in a world made up only of people just like you, go away and build your utopia. Just leave the realists out of it. Thank you.
Afterthought: If Rep. Kern wants an accurate speech, all she needs to do is replace every reference to homosexuality with references to overdone religion.
Afterthought again: And this is why I still hold that sending a child to a gubment school is akin to child abuse.
Final afterthought: Republicans need to stay the fuck away from handling social issues, much like Democrats need to stay the fuck away from handling economic issues.
Asshat.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PARENTS!?!?!?
Every once in awhile, you see examples of bad parenting. In my line of work, I see it all the time. But this is one of the FUCKEDEST things I ever saw:
At the end of watching this, I find myself tearing up with little Jonathan. How anyone could justify messing with a little kid's emotions like that, ON FUCKING CHRISTMAS, is beyond imagination.
If the folks over at Engadget and Microsoft hadn't taken steps to make sure this was corrected, I'd hook him up myself.
Sorry, I don't normally let loose it like this... I just don't fucking understand how anyone can be this cruel to someone they purport to love. I really think that these morons need to be locked up for this asshattery.
Word.
Those of you wishing to follow the story, take the jump.
