Some of you may have watched the first GOP presidential debate last night. I turned it on, listened to Michelle Bachmann for about 90 seconds, and returned to watching Freaky Eaters on TLC.
You need to watch the Freaky Eaters. Here's why:
One lady has eaten cheesy potatoes every meal for 30 years. On average, she eats about 200 lbs of potatoes a month. The sight of any vegetable makes her gag. And that makes me LOL.
Then there's Nikki. She has eaten at least two boxes of cornstarch a day for 16 years. And I'm talking by the spoonful. Now Nikki, with the intervention team at her side, got tearful while waiting for an xray. She poops once a week, and just now has become aware that this is a problem. Again, I LOL.
I will admit that some of this has to be scripted. Maybe all of it. Some of it is too unbelievable to be true. But then so are the debates. And Michelle Bachmann. They don't make me LOL.
But you know what is scary? Cheesy Potato Lady and Cornstarch Nikki get to vote, too. Don't let them decide what's best for you.
On an unrelated note, it's a beautiful morning in NYC. A cool, breezy 60. Sort of beachy. That's the view walking up Sullivan Street. Always impressive. Empire strong.
