After being fired nearly eight months ago at CBS radio for his comments on black women, Don Imus was back on the airwaves at WABC (770 AM) this morning with Rev. Al Sharpton. They talked about the usual, high gas prices, recently discovered dinosaur tissue, their favorite iPod color and Britney Spears being on Yahoo!’s top 10 list. The first fifteen minutes of the show was used to introduce his two black comedian side-kicks Karith Foster, who used to work on “The View,” and Tony Powell, a comic best known for his funny sports commentary on Rutgers basketball. The rest of the show’s air-time was used to promote black tie formals and two white presidential candidates, John McCain and Chris Dodd.

Leading Democrats today are pointing to new research showing obese Americans are increasing our need for foreign oil at a dramatic rate. The rise in obesity is having a dramatic effect on current oil supply levels which Democrats believe is the major factor for invading Iraq.

University of Texas has released evidence showing that an increase in weight is having a direct increase in gas consumption in America. The biggest leading cause is automobile use. It takes more gas to transport a person weighting 400lbs then 200lbs. Another study conducted by Texas A&M also points to the increased fuel usage needed to maintain and harvest farms because of the rising level of food consumption.

With all evidence indicating the obesity rate will continue to climb, leading think tank groups believe the United States will have to invade and oil rich country every 8 months to maintain our current growth rate.
