Fat Kids are Bullied More

http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/05/03/obesity.bullying/index.html?hpt=Sbin

What an insightful article on www.cnn.com today!!! Did you know obese children are more susceptible to bullies? Well, according to author Anne Harding, "Children in Grades 3 through 6 who are obese are more likely to be bullied than their normal-weight peers, a new study has found." Figures the lead author of the study is a professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Nothing good comes out of that place. Really, what worth is this study? How is it relevant to society? We'd be better off if they'd spend their time helping these kids lose weight and how to eat healthy and exercise than "studying" how they get bullied. What's next? A study about women having babies? Study finds that more women have babies than men. Earth shattering stuff.

NC Drivers

North Carolina drivers are awful. I have never been anywhere in my life where there are worse drivers and worse traffic than in North Carolina. They should all be driving Buick's with rubber baby buggy bumpers around each of their cars so they can just play bumper cars out there. Perhaps as an added safety feature they should consider lining the street with those damn rubber bumpers that they use in bowling alleys to keep the ball in the lane. It would probably help. What makes you think that you can fit in the 20 feet between my car and the car in front of me from a dead stop when I am going 55 mph? Seriously, in what world is that sort of acceleration possible? Not in your world - especially considering you don't even freaking hit the accelerator. I don't know what it is that makes you such terrible drivers. Must be a combination of several different factors, but I'm going to go with inbreeding and moonshine damaging your brains (wait, that's West Virginia).
