So when, exactly

did it become acceptable for mid 20’s to 40’s women to be so…..fat large?

I was on the beach today, which is unusual, I usually avoid them on the weekends…Which was when I noticed that the slimmest girl thre was what, in my day, would have been called overweight.

I mean, I understand, up to a point, but when you are in your mid 20’s there is no excuse for having saddlebags like that on your hips, nor saddlebags AND a serious muffin top in your 30’s. Looking like a barrel isn’t acceptable, at any age…..And if you are egg shaped, then, seriously, don’t you have a mirror? Or any pride, for that matter?

Guys of that age seem to find this acceptable, however, so some of the blame is on them, I suppose. They seem to be happy with extreme plump women…..

Yes, I get it, I am “Fat Shaming”…But if you are fat, then you should be ashamed.

Jesus, ladies, if you are 40+ lbs overweight at 25, what will you look like when you are 50?

And yes, the size of women has gone up over the years. (Scroll down for a chart) I checked before I wrote this. There is no longer a size six or eight, really, today….

ETA: Yes, there are some overweight men of the same age too, but overall, the percentage of fat young men hasn’t changed much. The percentage of fat young women has increased. Greatly.

And yes, I know the difference between skinny, healthy, and fat.

In my backyard….

The school folks once again show their liberal bias:

Young marine banned from High School Graduation ceremony because he was wearing his marine uniform. 

I’m thinkin’ Immna call the Mayor and, if I can find ’em, the members of the school board and ask why Principal Chip Pettit is still employed.

Liberals. It is disease of the mind.

Update:
The mayor’s office refused to comment except that it wasn’t his responsibility, but rather that of the school board…. and NO ONE at the school board was “In” today. Odd, that.

I did leave Voicemails, but really don’t expect any response. Apparently there are a LOT of calls about this, according to the lady who was on the switchboard. 

So Comey’s testimony

Amounted to……

Nothing. ?.?
If the Donald did anything immoral, illegal, or in any other way bad, no one can find a way to pin anything on him.

This whole debacle was a big to do about nothing, and it appears to have been designed to gin up some bad thoughts about the President among the uninformed and the DNC voters (but
I repeat myself).

I fail to see what the benefit of all of this was. Those open minded folks who look at facts will either support the President or not according to his actions. The Democrats already hated Trump so there was no gain there. The Republican voters disliked the Democratic politicians, now they dislike them even more…The TDS folks aren’t rational, so they really don’t matter anyway.

I fail to see the point in all this, except to give the talking head pundits something to pontificate about. The DNC folks won nothing (and now look foolish), the RNC folks gained nothing, and TheDonald came out of this stronger than before.

London terror aftermath:

12 people were arrested.

12.

Ten plus two.

How is it that the cops knew how (and who) to arrest just hours after such an attack?

How is it that they couldn’t stop this, if they knew who was aiding these folks?

I mean, it isn’t like they are questioning the terrorists that the police shot dead, izzit?

Where did the leads they followed up on for the arrests come from?

These boys were known to the authorities, or else they’d still be trying to identify them….and the Government folks wouldn’t have been this far in any investigation. 

‘Twas a great performance

Had dinner and a concert with my parents and MC in Chicago…

Beautiful afternoon for parking and walking in Wriglyville for dinner and then to the concert.

Early dinner at Mia Francesca.

Then a short walk to the theater to get in line for the concert.

Security at the entrance was a joke. But the security folks did put on a great show….Everyone got scrutinized, patted down, and purses and bags searched….It was, as I said, a great show of security…..

I DID smuggle two knives in, just to see if I could.

Not huge ones, but they could have been.

Hell, I could have carried a 1911 and at least 3 mags, the personal body search was so perfunctory….
Probably not a backpack full of nails though, they were checking backpacks and purses for bottles of alcohol (didn’t want competition for the bar inside).

Event Security during the concert was vigilant, however. Gotta give props for that. I’m not sure what good unarmed security can do, but they WERE watching everyone.

The Rodrigo y Gabriela concert was a good one. Good warm up by Ryan Sheridan and a great performance by the headliners.

All in all a great evening.

I think the Splodey Jihadi types were busy elsewhere….
