A pre-Friday dose of stupid
The Governors Highway Safety Association says pedestrian deaths increased in the first half of 2010 and the First Lady’s program to get Americans to be more active could be partly responsible.
Governors Highway Safety Administration spokesman Jonathan Adkins told 630 WMAL that Michelle Obama is “trying to get us to walk to work and exercise a little bit more. While that’s good, it also increases our exposure to risk.”
Look, you can slam Michelle Obama for many things, including going way way way overboard in attempting to get force people to eat healthier, but, come on, her heart is in the right place, in wanting people to get more exercise and eat healthier. If people are too stupid to watch where they are going while getting out, that’s on them, not Michelle.
There’s a reason we blog in jammies: no one is going to make us go outside for walkies while wearing them….hey, look, a cookie!
