Ah.... Sweet Justice

I love the fatties who tell me I need to cut the carbs in my diet. I reply that when my body fat gets over 6% I'll consider it.

But, ah, justice she delivers even if it is delayed. Word came out yesterday that Atkins Corp is about to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to being over $300 million in debt.

So now let's pull out our rolodex of fad diets and finally recognize that that's where Atkins belongs. And repeat after me "eat well, eat in moderation and exercise."

And more good news. China's CNOOC dropped it's bid to purchase Unocol, a U.S. oil and gas producer. The oil demands of China and India already scare me (not that the U.S. is a bunch of lightweights) but a foreign company buying a U.S. oil producer was a little unnerving.
