DON'T LET MAD COW TAKE THIS GREAT AMERICAN!
I was astounded to see that the Bush administration said yesterday that it will fight to keep meatpackers from testing all of their animals for mad cow disease.
How can this be??!!!
Those of us who are faithful viewers of TV's Boston Legal know that famed Boston attorney Denny Crane suffers from this hideous malady. We watch his deterioration on a weekly basis and frankly...well, actually we find his behavior pretty damned amusing. So, never mind. Rant over; on to another subject.
As long as we're talking Boston...The associated press has a story on the wires today about a new catalog called: "Living XL". The print and online business was launched this month by the parent company of Casual Male XL, the nation's largest chain of men's plus-sized clothing and apparel stores. (I thought apparel was clothing, but that's what the news release says.) The story goes on to say that an estimated two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese and that "Living XL" is attempting to reach out to these people. (More likely reaching out for their wallets.)
If you're a "plus-size", you may be tempted to order one of the company's lawn chairs. According to the catalog, it "supports up to 800 lbs." and only costs $139.95. Flip deeper into "Living XL" and you'll find the "Big John" toilet seat with a 1,200-pound capacity---"larger than any other toilet seat in the world", and priced at a reasonable $124.95.
Here's a thought...
If you find yourself in need of a 1,200 pound capacity toilet seat, try this:
