Just eat less?: News alert: Because we are a nation of fat slobs, our government would like us to drink less sugar filled poison and stop eating spoonfuls of nitrates, lard and cat litter, even if it tastes good. Which in D.C. translates to, maybe only have bacon covered donuts once a month? The superb journalists at The New York Times, ever eager to mock D.C., used the photo from their “D.C. sure is full of fat people” article as the photo for their article about these new dietary guidelines. Aww, thanks! [New York Times]
- Meat and Tofu: If you don’t go on pork benders every weekend, but instead prefer to feast on tofu curry and vegan sour cherry pies, there (surprisingly!) is room for you in our small-plates-pork-infested metropolis. This week may be Meat Week, but next week is Meat-Free week, a week that features specials and discounts on various vegetable items. [Meat-Week/Meat Free Week]
- Thursday, February 3: The hipster underbelly of D.C. will be out and about on Thursday for the Phillips After 5 event. Its got people, jazz, modern art and a cash bar! All the making of enjoyable evening, no matter how tight your pants are. $12. RSVP suggested. [Phillips After 5]
- Friday, February 4: The Donovan House Hotel would like people to go to its rooftop bar, because a rooftop, no matter how great a view it provides, is pointless in the winter. Business then suffers, the future can no longer be won, and this is all terrible. So, go there on Friday nights for vodka served from an ice luge. You will not be disappointed? [Donovan House]
- New Food: H Street now has “Church and State,” a bar that serves pricey craft cocktails. But, because a bar is only as good as its gimmick, the bar also has its very own confessional that will/should double as room a for sexytime. DON’T FORGET THE SCRUNCHY. [We Love DC]

Wow, Chumlee looks really bad without his shirt.
I think that is Big Hoss.
I think he's earned the title — that's Governor Barbour to you and I.
Will someone there on the staff teach Arielle how to do the alt-text thing?
I'm not sure any alt-text could do that picture justice.
title="Has anyone seen my belt?"
~
"You're wearing it, so, no."
"Has anyone seen ma penis?"
"You're wearing it, so, no"
Fixed
Look at all that loose skin. This is clearly the "after" picture. Great job, America is proud of you!
Yes, he's almost lost his man-breasts in the back.
There is no alt-text. Did that dude eat it????
i heard you get deported if you weigh under 350 pounds. better safe than sorry.
You got that reversed, it's OVER 350 lbs. So that brings down the US population by 60%..
Still better than Merced Johnston.
She's withering way! Soon she'll be Merce Johnson, and her brother will be Lexu.
T!
So that's where that tweeted T came from!!!
I'd hit that.
I'm talking about the girl in the glasses on the NY Times article; why do you all suddenly look sick?
When I comment, does my butt look fat?
I'd be down with more vegetables in my diet if they didn't taste crappy; but even if you spice them up and make them palatable, the texture of most of them just grosses me out.
More Murika hatin mainstream media
The person pictured isn't fat – they're just pregnant and would have looked better wearing a bra. My own vegetarianism hasn't stopped me from putting on weight. Now where did I put my shapewear?
I'm comfortable with them being fat and stupid, because the only diet that will work for them is Meth, and that will just make them skinny, stupid, crazy and violent..
Keep shoving those pork rinds in there, you tards.
In these days of energy crises, think not of fat, think of one's girth as a 401(k) for your lamplit living rooms.
Speaking of bacon-covered donuts, every single time I go to Portland there is a long, long line at Voodoo Donuts, regardless of weather. And Portlanders are supposed to be so thin!
You can only get so fat on donuts, dope and whatever is the trendy bottled water/kombucha of the moment. Especially if your riding around on your vintage fixie all day to get them. You even have room for some great microbrews later.
What are you smoking? Portland is Fatty Central, because the only thing to do all the time is drink beer, smoke pot, and eat.
The only thin people are on drugs or recent arrivals.
Governor Christie needs a new campaign photographer.
Looks like the Gov is waddling his way to an Atlantic City buffet.
Christie 'sneak eats'. Was at a breakfast for NJ politicos and leaders and Christie went the whole time without eating. When he got into his limo (a Caddy stretch Escalade I think) – a staffer had a big styrofoam box of food from the breakfast buffet waiting for him.
Is that the photo Rush keeps on his fridge to keep him motivated–as in, 'someday I'm gonna look that good, so stay strong, buddy'?
That's Rush, his anal cyst has moved to his gut and he forgot his gridle.
I need an adult!
New York, a fine city, has a problem with its food and entertainment writers. I'm not sure if its when they get bored or if they accidentally find out that there might be something less than perfect or ironic or whatever in NYC, but they occasionally feel compelled to bash DC. It reminds me of southern fundy preachers who instead of talking about the positive aspects of their own faith or ministry, choose to trash talk the Catholics, Jews, and Muslims to make themselves appear better in comparison.
Note to NYC food and entertainment writers:
- You are right, the dining opportunities in the middle of the night on a weeknight are limited in DC.
- You are right, NYC has more restaurants than DC and more by celebrity chefs.
- Yes, DC doesn't have Broadway, but then again, Broadway ain't what it used to be, now is it?
DC is a smaller city and smaller urban area overall. We aren't NYC and I honestly don't think anyone is trying to pretend we are.
Now be fair to the Times writers; they occasionally feel compelled to bash every city in the country that isn't New York.
Bashing other places makes NY writers feel better about the shit they have to put up with to live there.
And Broadway "shows" are all comic books with screechy music now.
Comic books with screechy U2 music that seem to be actively trying to kill their stars and crew.
About time somebody did. If it were up to me the next big hit show would be called, "Everybody Flies at High Speed."
I guess New York's alright if you like saxophones.
"our government would like us to drink less sugar filled poison"
Then why do they keep subsidizing the manufacture of high fructose corn syrup?
We're not overweight, we're undertall. We should all be 7'5"
We're not overweight, we're undertall.
That's a perfect Sarah Palin argument right there. In fact, I'm surprised she hasn't twatted that already, along with reiterating that Michelle O is a healthy food fascist.
What, you don't think that nearly every goddamn item in the grocery store should have HFCS in it? What are you, some sort of hippie?
I'm surprised it isn't being pumped into fresh fruits yet to 'enhance' their flavor. Probably only a matter of time…
Of course it's ground breaking news. All the fatasses are literally breaking the ground as they
walkwaddle around.Haha…I remember God Shammgod..too bad he sucked to much to stay in the NBA with a name like that.
So that's what all the infrastructure spending is about? Sort of like a cities basketball arena has to fix all the collapsed and broken seats and the inevitable scooter peel-out marks post the Toby Keith/Tractor Pull-a-thon.
The dastardly plans of King Corn and Big Scooter.
There'd be less obesity if Michelle Obama encouraged promiscuity with huge tax breaks. (I have no science to back this up. I'm just a slut.)
We're living in a chubby-chasers paradise.
akjdshfa9qw……..Sorry I slipped, some of the grease from my double Krispy Kreme burger got on the keyboard. What were you saying again?
BACONZGOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give me anus burgers and/or give me death!
Death by anus burgers!
I avoided both meat and tofu by just eating the plate of chocolate chip cookies my daughter was saving for after school. It's the proper parental thing to do, as I am keeping her healthy.
Bless you, Saint natoslug.
An upfist for thinking about your daughter's health first!
~
You are truly doing what's best!
It's also my excuse for eating all of the french fries and pies. I truly do think of the children.
Stop with the sodas, but load up on firearms and Fox News. I get the feeling health is not the issue.
gotta say NYT, that picture makes me want to run out and get a 1/2 pound cheeseburger and a chocolate milk shake.
Lard gets a bad rap. But it makes a damn fine pie crust.
It's also the choice of personal lube for Levi and Bristol.
And for Todd and his snow-hookers, he gives a whole new meaning of the phrase "buy local" doesn't he?
If we installed televisions into sewer systems, fat people could live in them without the need for movement like exercise. They could be naked and living in sewers for free, pooping out energy and licking slime mold from the walls while watching Glee.
We just need to lure them into the hole.
Hey…according to the NYT only libtards like 'Glee' which is news to me since I'm a libtard and would NEVER watch that shit. Although, come to think of it, the show is pretty popular at my state U judging by a course or two….Now, if you're talking about non-stop CMT, Fox Newz and WWE you'd find some very overweight and greasy volunteers. Especially if you can fit 4-ton certified easy chairs in them thar pipes.
