Doesn't God work in mysterious ways, everyone? In the face of such a tragedy, he's always there to remind us of the one fact that can hold us together, through thick and thin: that Wolf Blitzer is an oblivious fucking asshole.

That "dead eyed child" is sitting in his father's lap, wearing a Brooklyn jersey and totally enraptured by the game, probably having the time of his life. Doug, I think you have a dead-eyed soul. And my disgust with your stupid, flippant remark prompted me to make my first comment since the changeover to this godawful…

As someone who was once very overweight, I understand where you're coming from but...

I love weightlifting. I do it 2-3 times a week during my lunch hour using guidelines from Rippetoe's Starting Strength. You can cardio-bunny your ass off, but seriously, weights are awesome. Adding muscles mass burns more calories at rest, which yes...leads to being able to eat MORE FOOD :D :D :D

Also they are awesome to do and make you feel good all around. You get tangible gains in strength, measurable by actual lbs on a barbell that you increase at regular intervals. It makes you look powerful and awesome, true, but I love it for more reasons than just vanity.
