NPR only heard of this from the Colbert show back in May? This was bandied about way back in November.

Munching on carpet adds pounds???

[TheCipher]

Doesn’t affect Michael Moore much. 10 additional pounds to him is like the weight gain the average person gets by putting an M&M in their pocket.

[brucedickinson]

i’m sure whiny gay colbert worries about the pounds. Fruitloop

[dp0622]

I gained weight out of joy :)

[metmom]

This is funny....

Sheesh, they really need to get a life.

[Enlightened1]

I wonder if NPR ever did a story like this on Hillary or Mooooochelle?

[Enchante]

Michael Moore-on can't blame Trump!!!!

[bray]

They should just start the Michelle School Lunch program and those pounds will fall off.

[Delta 21]

Sure fire way to loose 13 pounds in just under 3 weeks? Blow out 3 disks in your back and start munching Vicodin like they are M&Ms. Pain musta let up a little, I just ate half a box of Frooty Loops and Frosted Mini Wheats.

Semi-conscious may have been better. Morning will tell. Trump is still President, right?!!

In an excellent article posted in FR in November, the author posited that the hysteria we were observing emanated from liberals making "politics their religion...what they really want is liberal Sharia law, a secular theocracy.

"The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warming—whatever their practical virtues—are not just expedient policy prescriptions. They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa. Feminism, deconstruction, and gender theory are not just academic abstractions up for discussion among liberal academics: They are articles of their religious creed. Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.

"You wonder why the left is having a nervous breakdown in the wake of Trump's election? It is because, for them, politics is the means to secular salvation. This means that, to them, political failure is not just a setback on the road to a more stable society—it is a blow to their very worldview. Opposition to their program is not just wrong-headed, but evil."

I keep this in mind whenever I read about some dopey histrionics. These people would probably die from stress and shock if something actually bad came to pass.

I haven't put on weight, but my electrolytes are screwed up from drinking so many of the delicious tears of unfathomable liberal sadness.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Today’s “stressful politics” are entirely a Democrat creation.

Started with Saul Alinsky 45 years ago, and has culminated in our largest party being filled with people who are stark, raving nuts.

Being unable to disagree civilly is extremely stressful.

[Albion Wilde]

Ha ha! I lost my Obama ten back in February!

[Deplorable American1776]

Boo hoo...let’s impeach Trump, reason libs are putting on pounds. I didn’t know weight gain is the President problem....
