United Fraud Organization

It turns out that the United Homeless Organization (those guys with the tables and water jugs) is not a real organization.  The article is here.  I realize I've probably only given like 3 cents to these guys, but I want it back.

Genres

I saw this in the description of a musical artist:

"[His] sound bridges genres from hip-hop to crunk."

How on Earth did he manage such a spectacular feat?

Fatties

There's an article in The New York Times about the fat community getting all up in arms because they feel they're being looked at as targets during this whole healthcare debate.  Fact: Obesity leads to a higher percentage of health-related diseases in this country than being too thin.

Here's a little snippet:

“I get so angry when I feel people pushing a weight-loss agenda,” said Linda Bacon, anutrition professor at City College of San Francisco and author of “Health at Every Size,” a book published last year whose title has become the rallying cry of the fat pride community.

Like I'd really take advice from a nutritionist named Bacon.
