    Steve Safran has long kicked much ass. Thanks for calling my attention to that editorial.

    Special K Diet: The girl is a size 4 who hates snack foods, of course it didn’t work! While I get her point that Kelloggs made no distinction in who this would work for, common sense would say it would work better on someone who was a size 18, usually easts donuts for breakfast, and loves snack foods! To call the whole thing BS goes too far. For example, she recently did a thing where she tested the Mr Clean Magic Eraser to see whether its claims were BS. If she tried it on things that were already clean and then said it didn’t work we’d all see the problem. Let some large girl who eats too much try the diet and then let’s see what happens!

    Birth certificate changes: Sounds like a bad idea. Birth certificates are records of your birth! If something changes 20 years later why go back and change the birth record! We don’t go back and change the weight and height on our birth certificate every time that changes! As for the trouble caused for transgendered, it seems like a simple law could take care of that. A form just as official as a birth certificate that documents the sex change, for example, that can be appended to it. Don’t people who change their name do this now by using a court record of the change for identity purposes?
