    The problem with Michelle and Bloomberg is that neither one is going after the true culprit. Yeah, Michelle has her little organic garden and is telling kids they should eat more fruits and veggies and less crap, which is true enough. But she's not addressing why the crap is crap, and how it could be at least a little less crappy. And Bloomberg is completely misguided, since it's not the size of the drinks that is the problem, it's the mutant toxic mercury infested sludge that's used as a "sweetener" in it. It's the corn poison that needs to be banned, not super sized cups.

        Yes it is.

        Actually, I've noticed a trend lately where the prices at the grocery stores actually seem to be going down again, but only on the processed white carb based, nutritionally void crap "food" while the prices continue to rise on anything that actually has any nutritional benefit.

          Quality items are always pricey, but the cost of food across the board is very high...

            Romney Apologizes To Nation's 150 Million 'Starving, Filthy Beggars'

            September 18, 2012 | ISSUE 48•38

            SALT LAKE CITY—Seeking to limit the fallout from a videotaped speech in which he asserts 47 percent of Americans “pay no taxes” and do not take “personal responsibility and care for their lives,” Mitt Romney hastily called a press conference today to apologize personally to the “150 million starving, filthy beggars [he] might have offended.”

            Saying that he deeply regretted his choice of words at a private $50,000-a-plate fundraising function in May—during which he argued “[his] job is not to worry” about the lower-earning half of the nation’s populace—Romney personally appealed to the country’s “dirt-caked garbage pickers and toothless street urchins” for forgiveness.

            “First and foremost, I would like to offer a heartfelt apology to all the whores, junkies, bums, and grime-covered derelicts out there who make up nearly half our nation,” a visibly contrite and solemn Romney said outside a campaign stop at a local high school. “Let me assure you that I in no way meant to offend any of the putrid-smelling, barefoot masses out there. My campaign is not about dividing this nation, but about bringing all sides together—the rich, elegant members of the upper class, as well as the 47 percent who are covered in flies and eat directly from back-alley dumpsters.”

            “I am fully committed to building a better future for every American,” Romney continued, “and that means ensuring all 150 million grease-and-urine-soaked members of our society get a fair shake.”

            The Romney campaign reportedly scrambled into damage-control mode after the video leaked Monday, issuing a statement late last night stating that the intended target of Romney’s remarks was ingrained big-government largesse, not the “hordes of uneducated, loathsome scum who unfortunately populate this country.”

            However, with Romney’s comments continuing to dominate the news cycle today, the campaign opted to convene a press event to allow Romney to speak directly to the nation’s “grimy panhandlers and coke-addled whores” so that he could issue an apology and explain his familiarity with their struggles.

            “I know just how hard it must be to get through a miserable, destitute life that is rife with crying babies whose shrieks consistently disrupt the affluent members of society who actually contribute something to this world,” said the GOP candidate, adding that he wanted to make amends for his recent statements and reach out to what he called the country’s “snaggle-toothed street people” and “hell-spawned savages.” “I know it can be challenging to wake each morning, covered in your own feces and refuse, and get back out there on the streets to beg for spare change and food scraps, always one step from dying right there in an alley.”

            “I know your challenges, and I am ready to fight for you,” he added

            Romney also said he recognized that the hardships of the nation’s low-earners are made more difficult by the fact that so “very, very many of them are drug-addicted, high-school-dropout single mothers and fathers who sleep in gutters while sewer rats nibble at their necrotic flesh.”

            In an effort to right his campaign and rebuild his image, Romney promised to bring his message of compassion and economic opportunity to the “ramshackle, mud-floored huts” in which half of all U.S. residents live.

            “Let me make this absolutely clear: I have the utmost respect for all of the filth-encrusted, lesion-covered degenerates of this nation,” Romney said. “In the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting real Americans in their squalid, roach-infested hellholes in every corner of this country. I promise to stand up for every one of you, even the 47 percent of you huddled together for warmth, fighting your own family members for moldy crusts of bread as you wallow in your own excrement.”

            Added Romney, “And I look forward to serving you as your next president.”

                Relative to what?

                Food is far too cheap due to factory farming.

                The US may well end up wiping us all out with a superbug by filling your animals with antibiotics teaching viruses how to defeat our best defenses just to increase yield.

                Fucking idiotic. Beyond fucking dumb.

                  Bloomberg is a control freak. If you expect others to do it, you first must do it yourself. Lead by example. Issue a challenge. They had the president's physical fitness program when I was in grade school. I got a cool presidential patch from Gerald Ford for being able to do so many pull ups and push ups and stuff. Sometimes that kind of stuff works.

                        I gave up smoking 4 years ago and that was a totally sensible thing for me to do.

                        That said it drives me fucking insane that the Bloomberg cunt ego is so fucking big that as an ex smoker billionaire he is such a dick he bans smoking.

                        It kind of suits me I suppose that I don't get tempted to smoke in bars and relapse now but if my pals want to smoke around me it's fine.

                        Only a fucking prick would want to tell other people what they should do...

                            So how do we solve this? I don't want to hear the same crap. This isn't about the current or past administrations. None of them have completed the job. This is about now and future budgets.

                            Where does the money originate from? Can you guys live beyond what you can afford? For example, I can't miss a mortgage payment or water bill. Taxes? I pay 28% currently. I'm not left with a lot after that. It's been harder to donate and keep up.

                            Well?

                            It is simple. It will NEVER be solved. Stop crying about it.

                              If Romney wants to say stupid shit, he needs to do it with more irony. For example, instead of saying his job isn't to worry about people that feel entitled to food and healthcare, he should have said they are clinging to their food stamps and welfare checks or whatever.

                              I've got the cure you're thinkin' of.
