31 States Record Increases in Adult Obesity 

The new report has Mississippi weighing in as the “largest” state, with 29.5 percent of its adult population considered obese. Alabama and West Virginia are second and third with 28.7 percent and 28.6 percent of the adult population, respectively, in the super-size category. Mississippi also has the highest combined level of obese plus overweight adults — 67.3 percent.

Overall, the South is the “Biggest Belt,” containing nine of the 10 states with the highest obesity rates. The region is also home to nine of the 10 states with the highest rates of diabetes and hypertension, both of which are associated with obesity.

One can’t help notice these red states that voted for Bush, not once, but twice have a collective obsessive compulsive eating disorder.

Only women need apply for traffic police

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia is to create its first women-only traffic police unit because commanders believe they are less corrupt than men, a newspaper reported Monday.

The male-dominated traffic police routinely forgive traffic violations in exchange for bribes. Many believe this culture helps make Russia’s roads among the world’s most dangerous: about 35,000 people are killed in accidents each year.

Since men spend a good deal of their time and effort getting money so that they can get women, take women out, and on occasion getting married with the desire to care for said women, maybe we shouldn’t judge these bribe takers too harshly. On the other hand they could have used those bribes to get drunk, buy porn and play poker so bring on the women traffic cops.
