3/26: Parking It For Nutraloaf
6 p.m.
• So I heard my first Barack Osama radio ad today.
*Blahblahblah We pay high gas prices and Exxon makes $30 billion Blahblahblah*
PA’s primary can’t come quick enough. Then again, I'm sure it will be just as bad in the general election.
• You know, I don’t get the Sarah Jessica Parker hate.
The life of a celebrity isn't always fun, especially when the media takes pot shots at your sex appeal.
Sarah Jessica Parker was extremely upset that Maxim magazine had named her the "unsexiest woman alive" last fall.
In an interview with Grazia magazine, the "Sex and the City" star commented, "Am I really the unsexiest woman in the world? Wow! It's kind of shocking."
The popular lad mag had compared her features to a horse's: "How the hell did this Barbaro-faced broad manage to be the least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women and still star on a show with 'sex' in the title? Pull your skirt down, Secretariat, we'd rather ride Chris Noth."
Not only was Parker "filled with rage and anger" after hearing these comments, but her husband Matthew Broderick was upset "because it has to do with his judgment too."
Maybe it’s because “Sex in the City” was terrible or something – not that I would know because I never watched it. She looks different. Big deal. I don’t fantasize about her while stroking my wiener, but I don’t find her repulsive. But I have to ask this: Why bring it up now when this was first published last fall? Don't say the upcoming "Sex in the City" movie, because this doesn't really do much to make someone want to go out, put down $10 for a ticket and watch the UNSEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE~!
• I’m sure there are places in the “progressive” part of towns that would charge $8 per serving for this.
Savory it isn't: It's made of whole wheat bread, non-dairy cheese, raw carrots, spinach, seedless raisins, beans, vegetable oil, tomato paste, powdered milk and dehydrated potato flakes.more stories like this
To prison officials, it's a complete meal. To inmates, it's a food so awful, they'd rather go hungry than eat it.
Now, in the latest legal battle over the prison cafeteria standard known as Nutraloaf, the Vermont Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether it's punishment or merely behavior modification...
...Seth Lipschutz, an attorney with Vermont's Prisoner's Rights office, says the state has a legitimate interest in changing the behavior of inmates who misbehave.
But he says a diet of Nutraloaf is punishment, plain and simple. To call it anything else is "playing with words to get what they want. It's wrong and it's sad," Lipschutz said.
"If it's punishment, you've got to follow the rules," Lipschutz said. "Even in prison you get a little bit of due process."
