Never in my life did I ever use the word “fat” as an epithet — until the day Rush Limbaugh called Chelsea Clinton a “dog.”

From that day forward I called him an “evil fat fuck.”

The word as an epithet only occurs to me when the person as person is extremely ugly — as their soul appears to me.

And then it only seems to me that I use it because it brings to mind the metaphorical sense of “piggishness” and complacency.

My mom was overweight in her later years. She was highly embarassed about it — and I always, always told her (truthfully) that she was BEAUTIFUL, because her soul shone brightly.

So I know where you’re coming from on this one.

Just finished my phonecalls and will head out to the historic DeSoto Hotel in Galena, Illinois to meet up with other dems and our congressional candidate to watch returns.

Can’t believe that Candy Crowley has a big spot on CNN. She’s one of the reporters who repeatedly made up lies about Gore and yet here she is in all her large glory. Yukkkk!!!

I agree with your comment about the typical MOE. I was aware of the margin of error, which, in turn, as I think you know, is dependent on one’s choice of confidence limits.

Keith is really playing it straight, he must be going nuts inside!

That’s a real journalist in action.
It’s been so long we’ve almost forgotten what it looks like.
