Jenny Craig, me and South Africa

Just me and Jenny Craig

Well, here I am at the Los Angeles Zoo. Thanks to Jenny Craig I am down  68 lbs  which feels very good. The problem is that according to the BMI (Body Mass Index) I am ‘very obese’…. which is funny since I am 6’4″ and wear a size 36 pair of shorts. However, I plan to drop a bit more.

Karen is in South Africa with her cookbook by Jenny Craig and an entire case of Jenny Craig “complete Start” cereal… so she’s all set. She said she was going to take a picture of her J.C. case, her and Capetown and send it to the fine people at Jenny Craig.

Sometimes, I think with all the feasting and famine in human history that we are naturally prone to yo-yo in our dieting… but I like it here as a thiner me… so I plan to continue losing and stay a while… if not forever.

University Campuses Need Oversight

Administrators and other forms of life

It appears that Evan Maloney’s long awaited documentary on what goes in college campuses is finally peeking out for the rest of us to see. “indoctrinate U” is nothing new for most of us who had to endure the rants of the great unwashed on campuses during the ’60’s, but it is amazing how institutionalized it has become. The dumbing down of college curricula has had the effect of rewarding ‘compliance over achievement’…. which I don’t think is a good thing.

In a review entitled ‘Academic Thuggery’ that also appeared on the Drudge Report an interesting background is presented on the making of ‘Indoctrinate U’… check out the trailer.

Congrats, Evan.
