Tuesday Links - April Fool's Day Edition

Miguel Gonzalez starts us off with a look at nutrition. Another thing that needs to be fixed.

And how come I have the nasty feeling I am having to pay this much because I am somewhat subsidizing the people who are overusing medical help because they can stop eating six Cheetos with peanut butter and gravy every meal (chased down with a Coke Zero, of course) and smoking 3 packs of American Spirit a day?

OldAFSarge from Chant du Départ has a history lesson - The First Iron Brigade

While doing research for a possible fictional account of the Civil War, I happened to look up my great grandfather's regiment, the 22nd New York Infantry Regiment. Curiosity, perhaps looking for a connection to the story of that regiment which I could use in my fictional account.

Miguel Gonzalez - TDS keeps getting people into absurdity.

What I have noticed is that the lack of respect that Trump has for the Media and the way he insults and ridicules him is seen by journos as the same or worse than being shot in the back of the head by security forces or your house torched with your family inside. This fake fear is reflected in worse coverage and outright lies which are to inflame people against the administration. That they do that without Third World consequences sort of demonstrates they are full of crap.
