...wants to exercise when it's 100 degrees outside? The South is really hot and humid. Nobody in Mississippi goes running in the summer - at least, nobody sane. Bassett points out that Colorado, the state with the lowest obesity rate (18.9%), is relatively affluent and has a temperate climate and plenty of trails that lend themselves to outdoor activities. (See a special report on the science of appetite...
...that the "downturn forced Labour to dump its tarnished rule" and splurge on public spending is generous, to say the least [June 22]. Gordon Brown spent his years as Chancellor spending beyond his means - even as the country seemed to prosper - and desperately breaking Labour's manifesto promise not to raise tax rates to cover his tracks.

That tax could be immediately refunded in the form of lower payroll taxes...

That means Republicans are, theoretically at least, powerless to stop President Obama's top domestic priority with a filibuster. So why are Democrats even bothering to keep negotiating with the minority party? Why don't they just pass health-care reform on Democratic votes alone...
