Oprah's weight and Obama's foodorama - by Chuck Norris

Chuck's words of wisdom: Don't ever quit striving to better yourself each and every year. Don't ever stop growing. Develop yourself to the maximum of your potential in all ways. Or as Benjamin Franklin put it, "Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man." So, don't ever stop trying. Yes, I went to extremes to write such a great synopsis of the Chuck Norris story when I submitted it to digg.com this morning (see above). There was a whole lot of information to try to condense into 350 characters. Well, that digg story description just does not do his great column any justice.

Those who doubt Obama's pro-organic positions are referred to an array of nutritional news stories, blogs, photos and video streams of him eating, golfing, playing basketball, working out at the gym, etc. Last week one of the largest Internet searches was sneaking a peak of the hearty and shirtless president-elect on the beach at his $9 million dollar Hawaiian holiday getaway. There's even a website committed to every possible link between food, drinks and Obama – Obamafoodorama, including Barack's favorite trail mix and his beer of choice, the "audacity of hops."
