Random thoughts

Watching the coterie of suck-ups and groupies on "Morning Joe" gets nauseating in about 30 seconds.  I am reminded of experiences in fifth and sixth grade with classroom gossip.  The intellectual level on this mornings program was on a par with speculation about nose picking and which girls had started wearing bras.   How anyone would waste their time watching this drek is more than I can figure out.
More interesting was a new study reported by the times food blogger which seems to conclusively prove the link between consumption of sugar and diabetes.  It seems that obesity is not the cause of diabetes, but a marker.  In other words being fat is not necessarily the cause of the disease.  Consumption of sugar is.  This should mean the FDA should regulate sugar as a toxic substance.  This will be interesting.
