Sarah Palin's Big Gulp

Seems to me that there was a time when politics aspired to being considered a serious business, and this kind of buffoonery was relegated to the fringes, to the minor leagues.

Palin's gratuitous swipe at Michael Bloomberg was designed to accomplish what? Get some easy laughs?

Yet this bush league joke is deemed important enough by the Washington Post to feature prominently on their home page.

Look around you. Does America have obesity issues?

All Bloomberg is saying is that it would be negligent of society to watch you kill yourself with processed sugar/fat/salt-saturated junk food manufactured by a few dozen corporations committed to maximizing their profits at the expense of your health.

Enjoy your Big Gulp.
