Note: 1996's Miss Universe Winner Really Did Gain So Much Weight In Her Year of Reigning That Even CNN Had to Fat-Shame Her Ass
Hillary tossed this out in her last big Oppo File dump at the end of the debate -- that Trump had allegedly called a former Miss Universe "Miss Piggie" and criticized her for her weight gain.
So did CNN, at the time. She'd gained 60 pounds during her year of reigning as Miss Universe -- obviously not the weight she'd won the contest at -- and apparently was in danger of losing sponsorships. Apparently we've now reached that phase of Political Correctness and Fat"Some people when they have pressure eat too much. Like me. Like Alicia," said Donald Trump, the executive producer of the Miss Universe Pageant.Defending her, that is.
Apparently Trump mocked the reporters making an issue of this fat broad's weight:
Since winning the crown, the former Miss Venezuela went from 118 pounds to -- well -- a number that kept growing like the size of the fish that got away.
And as her weight grew, so did reports that Kellogg had canceled a deal for her to appear on boxes of Special K in Venezuela or that Kellogg modified her body on the box. But a Kellogg spokesman said the contract simply expired in December and that they were "real pleased" with the promotion. "I don't eat Kellogg's and for this maybe I gain weight," the young Machado said simply. Rumors also surfaced that she might be forced to give up her Miss Universe crown. But Trump, as co-owner of rights to the pageant, said he would never let that happen. "We had a choice of: termination or do this," he said. "We wanted to do this." The pageant's meaning of "do this" was for Machado to get her weight down to about 130 pounds. At a recent photo op, Machado -- hardly a blimp at 5-foot-7 -- pedaled a stationary bicycle and jumped rope in front of a pack of photographers and reporters who could themselves use a little training.
"A lot of you folks have weight problems. I hate to tell you," Trump told the rowdy pool of reporters.So let us all cry for the Miss Universe who got so fat she almost had her crown taken from her. CNN did another story on the heavyweight Miss Universe, too. So this was an actual thing and a point of embarrassment for the pageant (and for the woman herself).
By the way: This was twenty years ago.

Apparently we've now reached that phase of Political Correctness and Fat Acceptance Celebration that even beauty contest winners, contractually obligated to, you know, look like the person who won the crown, can't be critiqued about their beauty.
Is calling her Miss Piggy nice? Nope. But I am utterly certain she was contractually obligated to maintain a certain size and she didn't. That is utterly fair game to note.
In BC and I's newest podcast LINK IN NIC YOU GO LISTEN NOW, we discuss fat shaming and I note that I, a fat girl, don't like it but it's also not necessarily out of bounds.
Fair warning. Not only is this more profane than usual but I share my true thoughts about how I feel about certain things the Horde has been saying.
If you assume that means something less than flattering, you're right. Fair warning.

>>She'd gained 60 pounds during her year of reigning as Miss Universe
Sir Mix-A-Lot approves.
====
Depends on where the weight was gained.
In fairness, she probably was at some sort of "fighting" weight when she won the title. IE, she was on a starvation diet and her weight that day was probably 10+lbs less than "normal". But, assuming she wasn't pregnant, gain of 60lbs is a bit hard to defend.

She said that 1. The campaign had predicted what questions would be asked and so none of the questions last night were a surprise. She said that she and other's had Trump practice having questions fired at him of all sorts, and he handled it well during debate practice.(I've read numerous posts here claiming that Trump didn't prep for this debate which is baloney).
2. She said that to respond to people complaining that this subject and that point were missed and why wasn't this brought up, etc. , that is what the campaign is responsible for between debates. She said Trump is on his way to Florida for an appearance today and will continue to bring up the points not brought up last night
3. She said Trump earlier this morning and now she wanted to say that(I can hear the collective screams from the Horde now) they felt "Lester Holt did a good job of moderating under very difficult circumstances."
Read what she is actually saying, that the vast majority of America knows also. Lester Holt was being told by NBC exactly what he could and couldn't ask or state about Hillary and the entire debate was slanted toward the Democrats, as they always are.
The Trump campaign knew this going in and the goal was to not fall for any traps. Which Trump didn't.
By the way, Trump again did something candidates never do after a debate. He and his family walked into the spin room with all the reporters and talked to all of them, one on one. Fox reporters were amazed.
I believe Hillary was hauled into her bloodmobile and treated on the way back to Chappaqua.

She had gained an estimated 40 pounds to 158. She was asked to shed 27 of those pounds or else lose her title as Miss Universe. That sounds like a lot, but she was 5'9" and weighed 118 pounds when she was crowned Miss Universe.
So, she gained 1/3 of her original body weight in just a few months. 40 pounds is pregnancy level weight gain.

I too would like there to be discussions of much more weight matters in politics, but it is the culture we live in, this is what the majority of people discuss. They care about bruce jenner and his weird family more than what happened to Chris Stevens and the heroic fight at Benghazi. Unless its a movie, then they might talk about the explosions. A.

Hillary stole Doc Brown's DeLorean and went back to 1973 to bash Trump over DOJ lawsuits.
Trump's response should have been: 1973? Was that before or after you were kicked off the legal team prosecuting the Watergate scandal on ethics charges?
So many whiffed opportunities. But like a lot of people have said, he didn't mortally wound himself, and he has shown a propensity for being a quick study. I expect his next debate performance to be much better.

Early Breitbart poll fits with what I wrote on a down thread: Neither candidate will gain or lose with the already committed, but Trump will gain more with undecideds. This poll shows Trump is already + 2% with undecideds.
From here to November, there's now little that can go wrong for Trump, and Hillary still has a lot of exposure.

Hillary always has that smug-faced fall back position that Comey said I'm innocent.
Even experienced an prosecutor, Gowdy had trouble dealing with her - shutdowns - I don't recalls. And she's a pro at deflections.
When it comes to Hillary we would all like to see an Andrew Breitbart or Christopher Hitchens type who's only concern was to go after Hillary on everything. Guys who know the facts inside and out and the ability to articulate them with sharp lightening speed. Because the volume of material alone is daunting to a novice like Trump.

No, I don't have much respect for the choice, but I also don't care about it much.
You are all officially free to watch all the wonderful, wonderful television you want.
And I am free to not follow you in your choice, and to decide that being active and engaging in life is more rewarding that watching electric pantomimes of it.
Sorry we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. You think television is a worthy use of your time.
I have no firm data on that. I don't know what your time is worth.
But I can say it is not a worthy use of MY time.
If you take that as a rebuke, well, we all get to make our choices, and we all get to have our opinions.
Is this the next phase of Social Justice Warrioring? People complaining that other people don't embrace their TV-based lifestyle?

The thing is this: Trump's performance last night was weak. He didn't do himself any good, but he fortunately didn't do himself any harm.
He sees himself a big-picture guy, and blows off details. That can be a good thing in a President where you have good underlings, but it can also be a big problem if you're being played by your own staff (see Reagan).
He was also far too easily baited into run-on answers to stuff like the birther questions that should have been answered with one brusque line and dead air until Holt figures out that's all he's going to get. Trump hates dead air.

Then I went shooting. Right after five hours of physical activity. I'm improving my aim.
Then I read a book. Not a long book, but a book I said I'd read -- Heinlein's Orphans of the Sky (Universe/Common Sense).
I did so much this weekend I actually need the week to repair and rest.
The next several nights I'll be doing my new thing again.
I haven't seen much television. If there were really great shows on, I guess i'm the asshole for missing them.

Trump didn't break out a whip and start flogging the Mexicans in the audience out of the building.
So it might pull a few undecideds.
I don't think Hillary got anything from it, and if that's as good as she's capable of then maybe Trump will survive all this.

Trump's number one goal is to win the election not a debate and certainly not to take Hillary down (he might want that too) but job #1 is to win the election.
I'm sure he calculated the costs of saying and doing different things and kept his eyes on the big picture. Winning the election.
Sure we all saw some low hanging fruit and missed opportunities but this was his very first one on one debate against a liar of the highest caliber.

I hear that. It's something i have to fight myself. Television makes it easy to be inert.
Sorry to be such a dick about it but as they say, you'll never find a more annoying self-righteous true believer than a recent convert.
My new answer to things is "yes." Yes, I'll go out. Yes, I'll do that new thing. Yes, I'll do three rounds of exercise in two days. Yes, I'll go out to dinner with you (I used to avoid social things).
Due to social phobia, panic, and basic laziness I avoided life for a long, long time.
I'm trying to make up for lost time.
And believe me -- I have a lot of lost time to make up for. I basically slept through the prime of my life.
If y'all want to talk about your hobby of television, that's fine, but I'm going to encourage people to find other, more rewarding hobbies.

I'm not a TV watcher either. Literally do not even own a TV anymore. But if there ever is something "really wonderful" on TV? Well, it's all recorded, somewhere. So if I become convinced I "have to" see it, I can stream it, or watch excerpts on YouTube, or buy a DVD from the remainder rack at WalMart. What I don't have to do is interrupt my life to sit down and watch a program as it airs. I might make an exception for the Grey Cup game, or the Super Bowl, in which case I might go to the local bar, and watch in the company of other, more knowledgeable sports fans, because, better that way.

Hillary gave no reasons to vote FOR her....she just continually keeps lobbing grenades at Trump like a fat girl telling all the voter guys why they shouldn't take the pretty, new girl to the prom.
If Hillary WERE cleaning up, I'd be seeing huge rallies, hearing about all the campaign signs in liberal areas, not hearing the head of the Black Panther party and others openly bitching about Democrats taking the black vote for granted, young people NOT fleeing to third party candidates, etc.
The country is a freaking mess. People know that, even if they watch the news. You only have to look at empty storefronts, family and family of friends that can't find jobs, etc..

He was directed by his debate prep team to do that.
You know, the team people claim he didn't have because he didn't prep for the debate.
It's a debate people. it's a staged, directed event. As KellyAnne and other's have pointed out, Hillary spent her debate prep time memorizing Democrat talking points written out on cards, and robotically repeated those lines, noticeable to all.
Trump, according to both Eric Trump last night and Kelly Anne this morning, spoke from the heart and from his belief system.

For any sedentary leisure activity, like watching TV or playing a video game, I first set my (very loud!) cell phone timer to cut it off after a set time, like 1.5 hours or something, and put it in the other room. This forces me to actually get up and turn it off after the elapsed time so I don't just sit down staring at a screen for hours and hours and hours. (I do that enough at work!)

It really does. I moved to the East Coast in the late 70s, and was shocked by how fat people were compared to California, where were generally pretty fit.
When I moved back to California at the millennium, I was shocked by how fat people had become. Also, how liberal. Of course, that's in part because a lot of people from the Northeast had moved here in the intervening period.
Btw, the "high fructose corn syrup" thing is bullshit. High fructose corn syrup is 55% fructose (a sugar found most notably in fruit, of course), whereas sucrose (table sugar) is a disaccharide comprising equimolar amounts of glucose and fructose linked by a glycosidic linkage.
So whereas HFCS is 55% fructose, sucrose is 50% fructose. BFD.

I get that, but you can organize what you want to say and still say it from the heart.
Trump started out very strong early on, hopefully when undecided voters were watching, but later on it became rambling.
And all of us could see most of these questions a mile away.
Like the birther one, that could have been a great attack segment for Trump instead he was listing names 99% of Americans don't know about.

it is slightly worse but there's another effect going on: HFCS is cheaper than sugar, and during the 70s and 80s, food companies started adding it into anything.
Plus, in the 80s, it was actually SOLD AS A HEALTH FOOD! A "healthy sugar!"
So chemically it is not that much worse than sugar. However, there was a whole cultural and economic experiment to get people to eat as much of it as possible.
We're seeing the effects of that experiment now.

Everyone criticized Bush for appearing on camera like" he is reading an eye chart" when he would speak. That included the debates.
Television debates are not debates, they are staged theatrical events designed to make one candidate(usually the democrat/liberal) look impressive. Substance is far down the list from the look, impression, stagecraft, appearance, etc.
I heard that last night was the anniversary of the very first televised debate, Nixon vs. Kennedy in which Nixon was sweating on camera due to lights and no airconditioning, and it destroyed Nixon's campaign. Not on substance, but because to the American public, Nixon looked like a terrified, incompetent boob.
And debates have followed the same formula ever since.

Rock climbing really? Think risk/reward here.
...
Garret gave me good advice: Just go up one or two feet and traverse laterally for a while until I have some ability.
If I fall, it's a two foot fall.
I know ultimately it's dangerous, but whatever. I avoided physical activity for years fearing some kind of ACL strain (or whatever bullshit I used to justify inertness to myself) and I came out of that period being fat, sick, low energy, and with a welter of knock-on symptoms that all stem from being out of shape (social phobia, panic, sleeplessness, etc.)

I still like the Americans. I don't think anyone thinks TV is a great use of time. An hour here or there isn't bad. But I do hate getting sucked into shows. And there are times where I just turn it off. I think the only way I could really kick the habit would be to get rid of it completely. I would really like to do that for a year or so. But my wife would never go for it. So basically I can blame her for my lousy TV habits.

Suppose. I don't like shows generally, but suppose you're right.
Then what? I'm now spending an hour a week on this new bad habit?
I have a lot of bad habits. Why do I need more?
No show, no matter how good, is worth me signing over an hour a week to it for seven years.
And then you start adding in all the other shows! This one must be watched! And this one! Now we must binge-watch Stranger Things!

I have another friend that is a NeverTrump Republican and thought Trump was winning the debate.
I personally thought the 1st half was the Trump we had been waiting for and "won" the debate, the 2nd half went badly for Trump but I can't say Hillary won.
My guess is the biggest effect it will have is just on Trump supporters being mad at the candidate himself for not adequately preparing.
Sort of like Romney with Candy Crowley in that we're mad at the moderator but still pissed Romney didn't push harder on the points he was making.

Anyway.... beet sugar, cane sugar, high fructose corn syrup.... all about the same.
The other stupid sugar myth I hear is "brown sugar" is healthier for you than white sugar.
**REALLY**
Brown sugar is white sugar sprayed with molasses.
The only sugar that is "better" for you is the one you dont pig out on.
All sugars find their way to glucose eventually.

I don't know about harmful, but it ruins things. Like marshmallows.
Marshmallows aren't important you say? Well, what about camp fires and family traditions? This is a thing that happens Outside.
So, the point is that I was raised to roast marshmallows in the tradition of my people, which is that you brown the skin, pull it off and eat it, then brown the next layer and repeat.
When I was a wee lad you could get six or eight skins out of a 'mallow.
I tried to teach this to my own boys so that the way of our people could pass down lo unto the generations but we couldn't get more than two or three skins. So I checked the ingredients.
Yes, they're made of corn syrup now, not sugar. Corn syrup is destroying our American family values and sapping our vital bodily essences.

Agree. The food pyramids, etc.
I have been inundated recently on facebook with friends and family posting photos on their pages of their kids and their kid's friends posing for high school homecoming photos.
There has always been a few fat kids in school since time began. But I am shocked at the overall percentage of kids, particularly girls, who are obese in HS. Not just a little pudgy, but well overweight. Huge boobs, fat rolls and giant calves. Made worse by being wrapped up in tight, spandex material sheath dresses that show every bulge.
I was reading a bra shopping site the other day that said that in one decade the average bra size in the USA has gone from a 36 B to a 38 DD. I know the morons are applauding that, but you need to remember, that is not because women's boobs are singularly getting bigger, but they are accumalating fat along with the giant fat roll underneath them.
This site sells bras in sizes I've never heard of, such as H size cups.

Each teaspoon of ejaculate has about five to seven calories and some 200 to 500 million sperm. Since sperm make up only about one percent of semen, what accounts for the other 99 percent? Well, its other ingredients include:
Fructose sugar
Water
Ascorbic acid (a.k.a., Vitamin C)
Citric acid
Enzymes
Protein
Phosphate and bicarbonate buffers (bases)
Zinc
Can swallowing semen enrich a protein poor diet? Unless you're gulping gallons of it each day, it's no substitute for real nutritious cuisine!

Good for you for living life before your body shuts down some shut down sooner than others and it never should be taken for granted.
I'm blessed to have lived life pretty well the first 30 years. I played hard every chance I got. Unfortunately a severe nerve injury sidelined me and after multiple surgeries I'm blessed to be off opiods and controlling pain with breathing And controlling my environment.
I'm super pissed that at age 30 my active normal life would be cut short, but at the same time I'm glad I lived life the way I did for the time I had taking the idiot embarrassing moments with the good ones.
One day I hope to get out there again. I'm working towards it, but intractable pain and permanent nerve damage is a fickle bitch along with the wear and tear on my entire body.
Basically I'd rather have sown many many seed both good and bad than never to have sown any at all.
Life is grand. I pray. you begin to enjoy it and make up for any time you feel like you lost And missed out on. (Be careful climbing. I climbed for years and it can cause some major injuries and wear and tear so don't be a idiot like me and try to tough out any minor symptoms.... Go get checked out at a doctor asap.)

To be clear, I'm not knocking TV in general. Although signal/noise remains dreadful, and most of it is crap, in absolute terms there are probably more good programs on TV now than ever before, in terms of script quality, production quality, etc. I know there are tons of programs I'd really enjoy watching, if I ever sat down to do it.
Don't want to. Got other things I want to do more.

I have to think any "old school" Republican had that 90's flashback to why we all hated her so much.
I'm still amazed Democrats nominated her.
Had Hillary just been a sweet wallflower at that debate, she would have won the debate going away. But that's impossible

I literally can't remember one word Hillary said. Not one.
All her scripted crap isn't memorable. It's just scripted crap. Speaking without saying anything.
I do remember ...AA and Hispanics living in hell, two words folks - law and order...taking the 5th it's a disgrace...superpredator wasn't a nice thing to say...

He should adopt liberal tactics. When accused of doing X turn the tables and attack right back. In effect, change the subject.
He could bring up the fact that she is obnoxious and domineering to her security detail, and that she kept a personal sh*t list of people she had a grudge against. Also, being dismissed from Watergate.

My buddy and I drove to Alaska through Canada in the spring of 1987, and every night of the trip we were treated to some of the most spectacular Northern lights seen in decades. We saw them as far south as Great Falls, Montana, and they were visible all night as we drove into Alberta. Beyond description. And we saw them again in the Yukon, which was kind of spooky, because we seemed to be alone in the world. No towns, very few cars on the road, nothing but nature.

A couple nights a week after I get home I'll flip through to see what's on. Never fails: after scanning through hundreds of channels in the guide, nothing I care to watch. Nothing that interests me.
So it's college football or nothing.

I got sucked in during one of AMC's marathons while laid up with the flu. You know when you have the flu and have so little energy you can't even change the channel? First one that got me was I think it was the 4th ep of season 2 when Jessie tries to break the Crystal Ship out of the junkyard and falls through the Porta-Potty.
After 3 or 4 eps in a row, I was hooked for the rest of the run. Don't have cable anymore though.

I effectively completely turned off my TV years ago. I don't want ANYTHING on a regular basis. Every time some new hot "must watch" program comes around, I just remind myself of the entire series of "The Sopranos" that I have lying around somewhere taped, that I've never watched.

This is me. I literally do not watch any TV series. You brought up "The Sopranos" and that was the last series I ever watched religiously. I watch NY Giants games--and no other NFL -- and I watch Yankees games when I'm in the mood. I can't even watch the news anymore--including FOX. I am "exposed" to a lot of reality TV because my on-again, off-again gf loves that shit. To me, it's a sign of the Apocalypse.

He kinda did with the whole discussion over who to invite to sit in the front row at the debate. Wasn't limited to workplace encounters, but a lot of names that haven't been seen in 15 years were brought up. Can't imagine a lot of millennials had heard 'em before.

Churchill, Manitoba has been cited as a good viewing point, based on its position relative to the north magnetic pole, which wanders around. No, it does not have to be extremely cold to see them. The aurora occurs very high in the atmosphere, where it's almost a vacuum, and ground-level temperatures don't affect them. But a cold winter night is the best time to see them, because, first, longer hours of true darkness, and second, clear nights with no cloud cover tend to be cold.
Best Northern Lights I ever saw? Rainbow Lake, Alberta, 1980-something. But I saw some ho-hum ones this Saturday night while on the road, and there have been a couple of displays with reasonable brilliance this August and September at my home, around Lat 51 N.
You need a solar flare to create the charged particles that cause an aurora. Then you need to be in a northerly place with clear skies and darkness, X number of hours later when the stream of charged particles hits our atmosphere. So it's a crap shoot. And our Sun has been lazy lately.

You're not supposed to say that if they're women, because women are equal.

===========================
Typed out really long comment and then deleted it. Boils down to:
1. Does a moron take direction from anyone?
2. People's use of their time is related to the feedback they get from it. If there is no perceived utility they will not do the thing or stop it soon.
3. Your level of feedback from an event is related to your investment/identification. Its a loop.
Feedback from the accomplishment of your own goals will tend to eclipse vicarious entertainments with the exception of say watching your own children/loved ones accomplish hard won goals.
Investment levels vary person to person and within the person over time.
I stopped watching Network news a long time ago because it sucks and it supports a structure that is literally out to get me and those like me. Stated differently, I had no identification with it and so no investment of my time was warranted.
