I'm watching this week's Bill Maher show and their interviewing him. He's seems like a no bullsh:t, straight up kind of guy leading by example...

The Thompson Diet devised by US Health Secretary Tommy Thompson
12 Mar 2004


'When I came in here and saw so many fat people in the department, I said, 'We're the department of health, and the only way we can really be credible on the thing is to start looking the part and start exercising. So I put the whole department on a diet. Then I says, 'I can't put the department on a diet without myself losing weight.' So I took it upon myself to lose 15 pounds,' said Tommy G. Thompson, Secretary of Health and Human Services.

There's no doubting that republicans can be good leaders, hell even shrub seems to pull that off (impression-wise at least).

The question is more a case of the direction they are leading you in...

Are they going to make it a criminal offence to be overweight in the US soon?

Best outlaw smoking and alcohol abuse too.

Then if someone has a heart attack through an unhealthy lifestyle you can charge them with attempted self-homicide...

Then kill 'em!

In the face!!
