You Hate Me….You REALLY Hate Me!
A new Public Policy Poll shows Congress popularity is Captain Nemo kind of low. The poll shows Congress less popular than root canals, colonoscopies and carnival barkers. Good news for lawmakers is they’re held in higher regard than the ebola virus, met labs and gonorrhea. Only 9% of the respondents hold a favorable view of Congress while 85% held an unfavorable view.
Still on the bright side, Congress came out of the survey in higher standing than North Korea, the Kardashian family, actress Lindsey Lohan, Fidel Castro and John Edwards.
On the not so bright side, finishing above Congress? The band Nickleback, Donald Trump and the NFL replacement refs….oh, and France.
Clueless
“Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, young man” Dean Wormer, ANIMAL HOUSE.
A new Associated press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found that few American know all the risks of obesity, which go far beyond heart disease and diabetes. More than 70% of those surveyed easily named those two diseases, only SEVEN PERCENT knew that obesity can increase the risk of certain cancers, including cancer of the colon, breast, prostate and uterus. Just 15% knew it could contribute to arthritis, and only 5% knew about respiratory problems as obesity ups the risk of sleep apnea and asthma.
Ignorance is bliss. Pass the ding dongs.

I have NO clu
e how or why I started running. I never liked it. In fact, I still don’t like it….but I do it.
I will be running in my 5th WaltDisneyworld half marathon this Saturday in what I hope is nice warm Orlando weather. Two years ago, nature tortured us with a starting temperature of 18 degrees with sleet and snow actually falling throughout the 13.1 mile run. As Henny Youngman said (over and over again) “I like frozen orange juice…but not right off the trees”
This will be my 5th Disney and 8th half marathon overall. I have NO desire to ever do a full.
The Disney full marathon is Sunday. There are actually people who run BOTH. It’s aptly called THE GOOFY CHALLENGE.
