Wait, hold on. Are you trying to tell me junk food isn’t healthy???? OMG! Everything I have ever believed has now been turned on its head!

Thank goodness ABC is around to ask the tough questions and make sure I’m informed…

Everyone expects to splurge a bit at the movies, but while your wallet may be able to handle an $8 tub of popcorn, your waistline may not — at least according to a new report released today by the consumers group Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).

Even popcorn did not escape the scrutiny of the report, which mentioned that even a small bag of the cinema favorite tips the scales at 700 calories and three days worth of saturated fat. …

The report looked at the popcorn, soda and candy sold at the country’s top three movie theater chains: Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Theaters, and Cinemark. The researchers tallied the calories, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium in each theater’s various sizes and combos. Based on their findings, the authors warn the public that their movie-time indulgences may be a lot more indulgent than they bargained for.

700 Hundred calories and 3 days worth of saturated fats? Given the crap that is most Hollywood movies these days, that’s the best argument for actually going to a movie than I’ve heard in years!

The Health Care Bill Passes. Blah. Blah. Blah. Historic vote. Blah. Blah. Blah. Catholic Church signs off on it…say what?????

By allowing a vote on the amendment by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) and other anti-abortion lawmakers, House leaders achieved the latter goal: The Catholic church signed off on the late-night deal and issued a letter early Saturday saying it provide a critical endorsement of the health care package if the amendment is adopted.

Excuse me — but did the POPE sign off on it? Perhaps maybe all the Cardinals in a special, Health-Care Conclave? Someone at the Roman Curia? Or even a Swiss Guard?

No, it was a staff member or spokesperson for the USCCB.  Hmm…could that be the same USCCB that has no real juridical authority in the United States according to Church Law? That same USCCB that has more staff working for it than the Vatican? Oh, in that case…

Sheesh, you’d think journalists (*spit*) might actually get their facts straight.  And don’t get me started on the $1.2 trillion cost that they’re reporting….it’s going to be way, way, way more than that.

The bill is front loaded with taxes, and back-loaded with spending in the first ten years. Since most of the spending in the House bill does not fully go into effect until 2014, the 10-year cost estimates based on the preliminary CBO score (for years 2010 through 2019) only account for six years of new spending under the plan. Once it is implemented (over a full 10-year window from years 2014 to 2023), the giant House health bill carries a price tag of $2.4 trillion, or as much as $2.6 trillion with the “doc fix.”

Thank you Congresscritters — for taxing me, my children and my grandchildren, and most likely, my great and great-great grandchildren, too.
