Monitoring Weight

They say that the camera adds 10 pounds, but the incorrectly formatted wide screen flat panels on display in airports across America add more like 75 pounds. Here are a couple of examples I saw on Friday while traveling to Portland:


Michelle Obama, shown at left as she actually looked and at right as I saw her on CNN at the airport, looked quite chubby.


Scott McLellan, who testified before Congress on Friday, isn't the most svelte guy in the first place, but the disproportional display really made it look as though he'd visited Appleby's a few too many times. (Check out the shape of the woman's face in the background -- she's been smushed!)

I suppose this means that everyone who appears on television will have to weigh even less than they do now so that they can appear normal even though they've been expanded 25 percent.

I realize this sounds like a candidate for the White Whine website. So be it.
