CHART: Leftist all the way
A leftist chart with the headline “Blaze through the maze of media bias” appeared on The Press Sunday edition (front page). As managing editor, Michael Patrick should be ashamed of himself endorsing the person providing the fake information. The chart, created by Adfontes founder Vanessa Otero, appears in a dog and pony format. Patrick promotes the young girl as well versed in her research.

POLITICS: Lower flag, remove bumper sticker
I am not naive to the fact that whatever I might write, which happens to be published, there stands a very low probability anyone would be swayed to my position that previously did not already share some facsimile of it, especially if the subject matter centers around strongly held political views.

Belly bulge can be deadly for older adults
The Skinny on Weight Loss
Aug. 9, 2010, I got an article off the Internet. It was entitled "Belly bulge can be deadly for older adults," by Carla K. Johnson, AP medical writer. She was writing about a new study appearing in that Monday's archives of Internal Medicine. It was described as "One of the largest studies to examine the dangers of abdominal fat..." and "...the first to analyze waist size and deaths for people in three BMI (Body Mass Index) categories: normal, overweight and obese." In all three groups, waist size was linked to higher risk. "About 2% of people in the study had normal BMI numbers but larger than recommended waists." The study suggests that men and women with the biggest waistlines have twice the risk of dying over a decade as those with the smallest tummies. Surprising, bigger waists carry a greater risk of death even for people whose weight is "normal" by the Body Mass Index or BMI, a standard measure based on weight and height. "Even if you haven't had a noticeable weight gain, if you notice your waist size increasing that's an important sign," said lead author Eric Jacobs of The American Cancer Society, which funded the study.
Bully boss means high cost
Tuesday's Press reported local school districts are working steadily to address parents' concerns about bullying.

POLITICS: Shades of McCarthy
In 1968, Eugene McCarthy, Democrat Senator from Minnesota, ran for president. He ran so strongly in the primaries that he was credited for convincing Lyndon Johnson not to run again for another term.
