Blogging can be a great source of amusement, just ask Senator Rick Santorum. I read about this a few weeks back, but ended up not posting about it. I reconsidered in light of post.
While on the topic of sanctimonious republicans, the rumor mill is going at full tilt about our governor. I wonder when we’ll see it acknowledged by the press. They appear to be waiting for something more substantial, which is totally understandable. Not to give in to stereotypes, but if it’s true, it explains why he’s so meticulous about his hair.
Bob’s been posting about his new body and the workout/eating regimen that’s getting him there. He’s a little more hardcore than I can manage with two kids, but I’m trying to avoid any more “gathering around the middle” myself. Is anyone else amazed by the sudden explosion of this whole low-carb thing in mainstream media? The Atkins diet and others have been around for a long time, but what’s with everyone suddenly jumping on the bandwagon? I saw a report about it several months ago on Salon and now suddenly every fast food restaurant and food maker is scrambling to come out with low-carb versions of their food. I think it’s a little overreactive. As with everything in life, it’s moderation that is important. I don’t think you should completely cut any one thing out of your diet, just as you shouldn’t overdo it on any one thing.
Now if only I can convince LaLa that eating only Cheerios and soy milk is a bad idea, I’ll be getting somewhere. 16-month-olds are good at listening to reason, right?
