Well, actually, I am, for the most part. But I don’t use the l-word to describe myself a lot, partly because stating your beliefs in one word is a good way to alienate people who might agree with you about a lot of things, and partly because of stuff like this.

Radley Balko went on CNN to discuss the government decision to treat obesity as a disease for Medicare purposes – in particular, why this is a bad idea. And he’s getting castigated by this John T. Kennedy for not demanding the outright abolition of Medicare.

I have nothing else to add to this because I spent the day drinking and eating burgers. So I’ll link to this Agitator post and say that poor Radley can’t catch a break from anyone.

UPDATE (Monday July 19, 5:14 PM): Radley hits back on Kennedy’s site.
