Ok, three.
Turns out that pushing yourself to the limits for fitness might be just as bad as not exercising at all. I have a Facebook friend, who I actually knew in college, who’s a HUGE Crossfit dude. He and his wife participate in Crossfit regularly, and he has dreams of making it to the major competitions that make it onto TV. He regularly posts memes that show two 80+ adults, one in a wheelchair and one muscle bound, insisting that the only difference between them is that one exercised. Well he used to. If he still does he does it so that I can’t see them, apparently he got tired of arguing with me over whether that muscle bound 80-something woman is actually “average”. It was all I could do to not specifically wave this study in his face. Nor did it surprise me.
Hillary is not the first. Though certinally if she wins she can claim that. On the subject of politics, I expect NY state to go to Hillary thanks to NYC and the capital area. If Upstate NY was a separate voting group I’d expect it to go to Trump, as the number of Trump signs and flags has grown exponentially in the last several weeks.
Speaking of politics and Trump, another article looking at why Trump is so popular.
In my new life, as an uncomfortable member of what folks back home pejoratively call the elite, my friends blame racism for this perception of the president. There is, undoubtedly, some truth to that theory. But most of the people I know dislike Obama for reasons that have nothing to do with skin color. They think of him as an alien because, compared to them, he is.
Regardless of what I think of Trump (and my thoughts are pretty darn negative on the subject), I do have to agree that I get really sick of the “you hate Obama cause of his skin color!” memes that go around. Cause yah, his skin color’s got nothing to do with it, other than the fact that I get really tired of having it waved in my face! I didn’t not vote for Obama cause of his skin color any more than I’m not going to vote for Hillary cause of her genitals!
I don’t like Obama (and his whole Socialist-Justice Warrior Administration) because he does that Mussolini chin-pump thing, and acts smug and superior to everyone from being at an expensive private school and having travelled. It has nothing to do with with the melanin levels in his skin-suit and everything to do with his inflated ego-suit and political mis-direction.
