“City officials are putting South Los Angeles on a diet. The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to place a moratorium on new fast food restaurants in an impoverished swath of the city with a proliferation of such eateries and above average rates of obesity.” This from the AP. Seems to me like these officials are neihborhood profiling. I thought on city workers could not profile groups of people. Isn't this discrimination? The over zeolous Diet Police are out in south Los Angeles comparing west los angeles and south Los angeles access to restaurants. How long before they start inspecting the feces quality.

John Maccain's humble character has to be rooted from his stay at the Hanoi Hilton. I think that he changed his way of thinking and dealing with daily problems while under captivity. Subcontiously he still might be trying to resist his captors and in todays equivalent it would be the Status Quo. He stands by his convictions because subconciously he believes he is protecting his comrades. So when Obama verbally attacks Maccain's political convictions, MacCain just lets the comments slide, just like the verbal abuse he tolerated while at the Hanoi Retreat. I think he really believes and has faith the American voter will see thru the political curtain put in front of us. I just hope that he chooses his retaliation battles wisely to help us all because Obama is a puppet in the green political machine rolling down the global path.
