Mississippi is the fattest state in the Union, with 30.1% of Mississippians being obese. That’s almost one in every three inhabitants. Not that the Magnolia State (in red on this map) should be singled out for its massiveness. It is surrounded by four of the eight other fattest US states (in brown on this map): Tennessee (29.0%), Arkansas (29.3%), Louisiana (29.5%) and Alabama (30.1%). Being overweight clearly is a Southern thing – even if the second-fattest state, West-Virginia (30.6%), broke away from the rebellious South in 1863 to join the North.

Probably both the Democrats and Limbaugh overstated his actual impact. But Operation Chaos was a triumph of interactive political performance art. Limbaugh appointed himself Supreme Commander, deputized his listeners and turned them into merry pranksters. “Rush is a master at framing an issue and creating a community around it,” says Susan Estrich, who ran Michael Dukakis’s 1988 presidential campaign and has since become a talk-show host herself. Operation Chaos drew a crowd, which is what Limbaugh does for a living. It got people laughing at the Democrats, which is what he lives for. And, ever the devout capitalist, he turned an extra buck by peddling Operation Chaos gear. The stuff flew off the cybershelves of the E.I.B. store, the biggest seller since his Club Gitmo collection (“my mullah went to Club Gitmo and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”).

Apparently Rush has renewed his contract for another eight years and will receive on the close order of $400 million dollars therefor.

In April, the Marines signed up 2,233 recruits, beating their monthly goal by 142 percent, a level that far exceeds any other military service.

Marines have always been good at breaking things.

As of February 2008, white law requires an Obama 08 bumper sticker to be placed on the back of every Prius.

They come from that factory that way. It is not a pretty sight.

If a white person does not feel like supporting a candidate, they will likely select a bumper sticker that tells other people what to do.

And that’s the truest thing you’ll read today.

Although credited in the first paragraph, I don’t see where Canadians contributed anything to this breakthrough.

Maybe they were all waiting to see a doctor under the famous Canadian government-run health care system. I know it works that way in Britain.
