Bumped his head and he went to bed and he didn't get up in the morning...

[Wayne Johnson]

Well, I must admit that I have been having some misgivings about my
breakfast favorite: (cow) brains and eggs.  Hmmm. Mmmm.  Add a little
Tabasco sauce and is that a treat or what?

Now that our much beloved Governmint has dropped the mad cow thing....as in
too much of a "downer" for many, I reckon.....we can all relax and go back
to Arby's and Burger King to eat our merry little hearts out until our much
beloved Prezident is put back in the ole White House.  One way or another.
Hey, is that a new Franchise possibility?  White House Burgers?  Sort of
like White Castle Burgers.  (aka gut bombs) in the Midwest?  White bread,
pork fat and sugar!  Whoooeeee, finger-lickin' Republican goodness!

Of course, no double Whopper with extra bacon and cheese is really filling
unless consumed with an extra large helping of french fries and maybe some
scrumcious onion rings.  All washed down with a Super-sized chocolate malt.
Oh, and a glass of orange juice for Vitamin C.  (Oh, Vitamin Plenty where
are you when we need you?  Et tu, Dick. )

Meanwhile, I was ever so pleased to hear that this person in N.C. has
compiled a compleat compendium of *all* the what, 1300 plus, programs from
"Mr. Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons!"  It's on the press, as I type.

Where did I put my Jimmy Dean Fudgy Pork Sausage-ettes?

for the systems stressed by this nutritional assualt--the joints, organs and
the arteries, all pretty central to health.

and hypertension, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a report by the
city medical examiner.

contribute to it.

> Stuart Trager, chairman of the Atkins Physicians Council in New York, told
the Journal that Atkins' heart disease stemmed from cardiomyopathy, a
condition thought to result from a viral infection.
>
> Atkins' weight was due to bloating associated with his condition, and he
had been much slimmer during most of his life, Trager said.
>
> The medical examiner's report was given to the Journal by the Physicians
Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that advocates vegetarianism.
The medical examiner's office told the Journal that the report had been sent
to the group in error.
>
> There was no immediate response Tuesday to a call seeking additional
comment from the medical examiner's office.
>
> The diet guru's widow, Veronica Atkins, was outraged that the report had
been made public.
>
> "I have been assured by my husband's physicians that my husband's health
problems late in life were completely unrelated to his diet or any diet,"
she told the Journal.
>
> Last month, Veronica Atkins demanded an apology from Mayor Michael
Bloomberg after Bloomberg called her late husband "fat."
>
> In April 2002, Atkins issued a statement saying he was recovering from
cardiac arrest related to a heart infection he had suffered from "for a few
years." He said it was "in no way related to diet."
