Recycling Not Prejudiced
Dang it all. I always hate to see it when someone recycles — whether I agree with them personally, professionally or politically.
Mike Huckabee, former GOV of Arkansas, got a lot of attention in 2004ish when he lost 110 lbs or so and, in 2005, went on a nationwide promotion of a his book “Quit Digging Your Gave With a Knife and Fork.”

I remember seeing him make the rounds on the news programs. It was very obvious he was at a very healthy-low weight for his height. One might even say I have a certain expertise at seeing this in people.
Well my goodness folks — wow. I saw him on the Daily Show last night and while some media reports are saying 25 pounds packed back on I’d say it’s more, maybe North of 40 pounds regained from his low.
Happy about it? No way. I want everyone to win! But I also know it’s not going to happen. But man, his face, it was very obvious from the show tonight.
Then There Was Jared
Look, I believe 1-5% of what I see on the Internet and I’m usually pretty right with that and feel good about that as my guide. Here’s a pic of Jared from Subway. Talk about someone I was rooting for. Over time, sure, he got annoyingly arrogant rather than the soft-spoken and shy guy he started off as, but I still liked the guy. And the lives he’s been able to touch in a positive way? I’ll take 1/100th of his reach any day of the week.
Even so — not sure if these pics are doctored up or not but here you go.

Other reports online indicate he’s kinda gone OFF the Subway “diet” and is eating and drinking more stuff now. It is what it is if that’s true.
What’s the point of this post. To make all of you feel better when you recycle? If you recycle? No. To make me feel better if and when you recycle? God no. It’s just a reminder. Being rich, bright and famous aren’t cures nor are they armored vests protecting against recycling. What is?
