My Diet.

It sounds like this guy stole my diet:

He packed on 6.5 kg (14 lb) in just under a week by devouring 1.5 kg of pork and six bottles of beer a day and then immediately going to bed, taking sleeping pills to knock himself out when he was not tired, the report said.

Now for something a little more serious:

Here is a photo essay of the protests outside San Quentin. The essayist is pro-death penalty, but I think the photos are very interesting. These protesters are the crazies that I really dislike. They take every chance they get to compare Bush and Hitler. (There really is no comparison... Bush is much worse.)

But you almost get a feeling from these photos that these protesters have an agenda that really isn't to speak out against the death penalty. It's just another opportunity to speak out against the "racist establishment." It's another opportunity to blame yet another thing on Bush. Like this guy with the 9-11 sign. WHY the heck is he there with that sign? These socialist groups may be opposed to capital punishment, but that is not why they are there.

They are there because the media are there. They are there so they can spout out garbage. The media love it. Everybody wins, except of course intelligent discourse.

Anti-Tookie protester: Tookie deserves the death penalty.
Pro-Tookie protesters: Born-again bigots, go away!
ATP: Tookie deserves the death penalty. The wages of Tookie's [sin] are death.
PTP: Racist, sexist, anti-gay! Right-wing bigots, go away!
ATP: Quit being so liberal. You guys are making a murderer an icon!
PTP: Racist, sexist, anti-gay! Right-wing bigots, go away!
ATP: You're making [him] a hero, an icon. Something is wrong with this picture.
PTP: Racist, sexist, anti-gay! Right-wing bigots...

These liberals are supposed to tolerant right?
What does this man supporting the death penalty for a convicted murder have to do with him being sexist or anti-gay? Nothing. He surely said nothing about those things at all. Yet these libs resort to name calling. "Born-again Bigots"? That's terrible. Is there some sort of school where liberals learn how to argue ( I mean besides public universities)

day 1:
"If someone ever disagrees with you, call them a racist. Make sure you yell louder than them too. Compare Bush to Hitler and wear a Che Guevara shirt."
...

It's also not good that Christians are supporting the Death penalty, but that's not my point here.

So, while I still don't support the Death Penalty, I can never ally myself with these crazies.
