Waiting for the Grand Klan Breakfast


These are patrons for Paula Deen’s restaurant in Savannah, Ga., "The Lady and Sons," as shown in a photo published in The New York Times.

These are Paula Deen kind of people; the kind of people who will tell you they are not fat, they have "curves." 

Also, they are not racist; now they are "southern".

"Curves" is apparently the new euphemism for cholesterol-choked, butter-slathered, and sedentary. 

Look at the curve of those legs as the knees buckle under too much weight. 

Look at the curve going up on the national debt as fat sucks $200 billion a year out of the health care system and another $300 billion a year from productivity.

Step One is admitting this nation has a problem. 

Labeling it curves is no help at alll.

And neither is calling racism "southern".

The best euphemism i heard during my stay in NYC was a woman who referred to herself as 'full size'.
