Today Show "Elephant Man" ping.

PS: I know that many FReepers rightly object to the "lookism" inherent in criticizing people for their weight. But in Moore's case, there is something about his excess avoirdupois that stands in contrast with his fundamental argument that we are a society of rich, indulgent, selfish people. That makes his girth fair game IMHO.

avoirdupois

Made me look that one up. At first I thought it might be a sub species of the hippo.

Happy New Year! I was hoping you'd post something on that interview w/MM.

I am so sick to death of bashing the pharmaceutical industry. Most sheeple don't understand the profit motive anymore and/or they think that's evil (thank you class warfaring democrats). Nor do they understand the how difficult and costly it is to create the next new drug. Will MM include that in his mockumentary - probably not....
