Ban Trans Fats Site
A really interesting web site on Trans Fats and how unhealthy they are. Update: site has gone away, but read more here.
I had previously read a lot about them in Dr. Atkin’s New Diet Revolution and also in The Okinawa Program. Both of them say essentially the same thing; that trans fats lower good cholesterol and raise bad cholesterol, and that they are not required to be listed on the the nutrition labels, so people have no idea how much of this stuff they’re consuming. Here’s a study from Harvard that explains pretty well what Trans Fats are and how they affect you.
What is the Matrix?
A glorious, left-wing, liberal vision of a future world. If there were any justice in the world, right-wingers and Republicans would be allowed to see it, no matter how much they wanted to — because they aren’t smart enough to get what the movie is supposed to mean. If they were, they wouldn’t be Republicans. Morons.
Calling all Ball State Gay Alumni
The current Ball State Gay and Lesbian Student Association [called “Spectrum”] is seeking GLBT alumni to contact them. They would like to get 200 alums to send in contact information (name, address, phone, etc.) to be listed with the University Alumni Association, so they can be and official part of the Alumni Association, which means they would then get some phat cash.
Even if they can’t round up that many, they’d definitely like to have an informal Alumni Association and have some event during Homecoming/Proud Week, which both happen to conveniently occur at the same time. (Hmm, wonder who planned that years ago?) You all know you want to go to homecoming and party on campus as a well-adjusted openly gay person, instead of as the closeted geek you were then.
E-mail the kids at spectrum@bsu.edu and tell them you want to be included, and send all your info. Shit, I probably know 100 alumni myself. Y’all better write them.

Frustrated because his city’s Historic Preservation Commission wouldn’t approve his designs for a new porch, An Atlanta man called in painters to paint his house lime green with purple polka dots. This is a man after my own heart.
Smart Op/Ed piece by Monica Lewinsky
From Talk Left: ‘Tell Mama’ by Monica Lewinsky
Interesting discussion on a recent, intelligently written Op/Ed piece in the LA Times, written by Monica Lewinsky on the need for parent/child privilege in courtrooms.
Few people are aware that, in our country, parents can be forced to testify against their children and vice versa; there is no parent-child privilege under the aegis of the federal government. We have a husband-wife privilege, a doctor-patient privilege, an attorney-client privilege and even a privilege between priest and penitent. But no comparable confidential boundary is recognized for parent and child.

‘we own you, you don’t have any legal rights’
It happened at Oakland High. The discussion was about the war in Iraq. That’s when two students made comments about the President of the United States. While the exact wording is up for debate, the teacher didn’t consider it mere criticism, but a direct threat and she called the Secret Service.
