The fact that Freeman Hunt thought his account was hijacked, is surprising. He has said nearly as vile statements here on Althouse for quite sometime.

yashu said...: At least, Julia does not fall victim to the dreaded obesity epidemic in America.

Speaking of which, OMG, have you seen the trailer for HBO's big (no pun intended) 4-part obesity epidemic documentary, "The Weight of the Nation"?

I don't want to minimize or make light (no pun intended!) of the problem of obesity in America. Seriously, I understand that widespread obesity has serious ramifications not only for the individuals suffering from it, but the nation as a whole (affecting not only health but health care and thus public policy). It's a topic that deserves serious attention. Especially since it now appears many of the dietary guidelines the federal government has pushed in the past turn out to have been... completely wrong. Wonder if the doc will touch on that.

I feel a lot of sympathy for persons suffering from obesity.

But that trailer strikes me as so over the top-- especially the oh-so-obvious tie-in with Obama White House agitprop ("AN UNPRECEDENTED PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGN"; the soaring overhead shots of the White House; it's like an Obama campaign ad)-- that I plead guilty of finding it… kinda funny. It's not even so much the hyperbole as the documentary style. Does it make me a bad person that I can't help but giggle at the last line, like the last line of an apocalyptic Hollywood movie trailer: "Obesity will crush the United States… in oblivion."

LOL, can't help it.; 5/3/12, 5:47 PM

This procedure allowed the researchers to rule out selection bias as an influence on results. Abbott-Shim et al. (2003) found that Head Start participants benefited substantially com- pared to nonparticipants in the areas of recep- tive vocabulary and phonemic awareness and had more positive health-related outcomes, for example, they were more likely to be cur- rent on their immunizations.Good thing Julie at least got a head start, the rest with just a little bit of help.; 5/3/12, 9:34 PM

n sum, this report finds that providing access to Head Start has benefits for both 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds in the cognitive, health, and parenting domains, and for 3-year-olds in the social-emotional domain. However, the benefits of access to Head Start at age four are largely absent by 1st grade for the program population as a whole. For 3-year-olds, there are few sustained benefits, although access to the program may lead to improved parent-child relationships through 1st grade…; 5/3/12, 9:53 PM

"Julia"

Julia is an American sitcom notable for being one of the first weekly series to depict an African American woman in a non-stereotypical role.

In Julia, Carroll played widowed single mother Julia Baker (her helicopter pilot husband had been shot down in Vietnam) who was a nurse in a doctor's office. The doctor, Morton Chegley, was played by Lloyd Nolan, and Julia's romantic interests by Paul Winfield and Fred Williamson. Julia's son, Corey (Marc Copage) was approximately six to nine years old during the series run. He had barely known his father before he died.

Previous television series featured African American lead characters, but the characters were usually servants. The show starred actress and singer Diahann Carroll, and ran for 86 episodes on NBC from September 17, 1968 to March 23, 1971.; 5/3/12, 10:03 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Guess what:

Good luck with that. This thread shows off typical garage idiocy; whenever his Little Black Jesus puts a foot wrong, he pretends to have never heard of whatever we might be talking about. And then when you do put him some knowledge, he either responds with imbecilic snark, a shriek of SQUIRREL! or doesn't bother to respond. He's a fundamentally dishonest hack.

Except for bright lights like Freeman, however, I'd be willing to bet that more women than not will be swayed by "Julia." Big Daddy Government protecting "independent" women is a sure vote-getter. It got Clinton elected twice and Urkel once. No reason to think it won't work again.; 5/4/12, 9:07 AM

there are at least two lies in that statement but I think that most foolish young ladies would get the concept. I refuse to believe that Freeman and I are alone in the world.; 5/4/12, 11:25 AM
