Most Obese Man Loses 500 Pounds
A Mexican man who at 1,200 pounds was proclaimed the world's most obese man now has his sights set on a different record - the person who has lost the most weight. Manuel Uribe has has lost 518 pounds since March 2006 on a diet of grapefruits, egg-white only omelets, fish, chicken, vegetables and peanuts. He hopes to get out of the house next month for only the third time in six years to celebrate his 43rd birthday.

Hooray! Once again, leave it to the liberal media to focus on the gloomy news from south of the border ("A Look At Recent Mexican Drug-War Violence" -AP, 5/14/08) while ignoring all the inspiring, weight-loss related ones. I, for one, would like to say "Bravo!" to Señor Uribe, and I wish him a hearty Mazel Tov on his achievement. I think Mexico is turning a corner today. Or, at least, Manuel Uribe is, provided that the corner is of an angle obtuse enough that he will be able to maneuver around it comfortably.
