Robert Reich: The Hostage Crisis Continues: Why... →
robertreich:
With the hostage crisis behind him, the President is now ready to talk about the nation’s real problem.
Nine paragraphs into his remarks today announcing the nation has paid most of the ransom the radical right demanded as a condition for maintaining the full faith and credit of the United States…
Back in 1936, when the New Deal was being assailed...
“Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.”
Logic
Deciding to balance the budget by cutting spending immediately after demanding a tax cut for the rich is like asking your Fortune 500 boss for a salary cut, then explaining to the family how you can no longer afford to send the children to college, your wife has to stop buying that expensive “healthy food” and your mother has to find another place to live because you can’t afford...

Robert Reich: How Democrats Can Become Relevant... →
robertreich:
Republicans offered Democrats two more weeks before the doomsday shut-down. Democrats countered with four. Republicans held their ground. Democrats agreed to two.
This is what passes for compromise in our nation’s capital.
Democrats have become irrelevant. If they want to be relevant again they…

Eat Good Food -- Not Crap
This is no way to make a rational decision about food. Yeah, I do it all the time, but it’s stupid. You’ve gotta have a plan. Write it down. Buy it. It eat. No more ” I don’t know what I want” whining. Buy good food, not crap, and you won’t eat crap. Good food is stuff that nobody has messed with — nothing taken out — nothing put in. You like...

GOOD FAT
I’ve been trying to eat low fat my whole life. That’s what they told us to do to lose weight and have a healthy heart. Fat was BAD. But it seems, THEY have changed their mind. Let me explain what THEY say now. Now there are GOOD fats. THEY started realizing this when they noticed that people who lived in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea had less heart disease than us...

KEEPING IT SIMPLE
OK, I’m going to tell you how to be healthy, but I’m going to do it in small bits of information so that your one-track minds can keep up. Let’s start with what it really takes to build muscle, since that’s all you really care about at this point.
Let’s start with carbs (carbohydrates for those of you who think carbs is a real word). You need them to build muscle. They are the fuel that lets...
A CASE FOR HEALTH
It’s interesting to me that a lot of you men don’t seem to think it’s cool to talk about healthy food. You’re fine with fitness and strength training and think that all you’ve got to do is eat more protein and you’ll get a six pack and lots of women. You’re so wrong (yeah- you heard me right). You’re wrong. You don’t like that do you?
Well it’s time you listened up. Your life depends on it. ...

7 MANLY WAYS TO SPICE UP YOUR TURKEY SANDWICH WITH...
1. Use guacamole rather than mayonnaise (or just add a slice of avocado) and call it “The Guac “ (it’s all in the name-yeah, you’ve heard it before- so what).
2. Make a roasted (now there’s a manly word) red pepper sauce but just putting roasted red peppers in a blender for a few seconds (I can’t tell you how many seconds- that would be girlie). Spread a little of that on you turkey...
MAN CANNOT LIVE BY TURKEY SANDWICH ALONE
I have an inadvertent client, let’s call Tomas (yeah, I spelled it right). He eats turkey sandwiches day in and day out. Now I’ve got nothing against turkey, not that I have anything against vegetarianism. And I’ve got nothing against sandwiches (if you don’t overdo it).
But what we need here is some variety. I know men have a thing about “man food”. For instance, no self-respecting man...
