1. OMG.

I've had that thought, and I very nearly posted it here in one of our Social Security discussions, but I decided not to post it because it seemed very rude. I'm astonished the author of the study came right out and said it for publication.

2. That's a big fat lie!

Well.... that's what King George says.

3. Sounds like a plan! I'll take up smoking (again), and you just...

pass me down the Dunkin' Donuts and Pizza Hut deep dish extra large with extra cheese! I'm comin' home, mama! No need to worry about Social Security! I'll just die young and happy!

I see the light!

This may be a new campaign tactic-- "All you obese out there need to vote Repug!! You can die with a private account intact!! Hey you won't live long enough to collect social security. Vote Red!!"

Fat and carbohydrates will now be the foundation of the american diet.

it is salt, alcohol, grease and sugar that will save social security, if we dont think of something better first, that is.
