…takes advantage of three-hour wait at the DMV to write a blog post advocating for government health care. You can see why Snopes and other leftists really hate the Babylon Bee.

Terrible Nutrition Advice
More of the usual nonsense:
The study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that at the 34 fast-food chains they analyzed, the average combo meal contains 1,193 calories, and that the quantities of sodium, saturated fat and sugar are through the roof.
But all a person has to do is hold the dipping sauce; remove toppings, such as cheese; and opt for water over soda — and you’ll be good as gravy, says lead author Kelsey Vercammen of Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health in an interview with Reuters Health.
The problem with fast food is not calories, or saturated fat, or sodium. It’s the bun and the potatoes. The only good advice here is water instead of soda.
Keto Cooking Problems
I wanted to make some salmon croquettes with some leftover king salmon, but all the keto recipes recommend substituting almond flour for the bread crumbs. Problem: I’m allergic to nuts, including almonds.
[Update a few minutes later]
OK, here’s another option, which would be fine, except I don’t have any on hand: pork rind crumbs.
Anti-Aging Research
Breakthroughs will occur faster than you think.
I hope they occur faster than I hope, but at least I’m in good shape for my age.
My Calcium Score
I had a scan done on Monday, and my score came out as a total of 17, most of it in my right coronary artery (my left was zero). This is in the bottom quartile, particularly for my age, but they still say I should get my cholesterol down to 200 (it’s currently about 240, with a good ratio and low tryglycerides, and has been for years) with medication, and cut out the saturated fat from my diet. What BS.
From A Physician At A Government Health Center
“Why I no longer believe that government healthcare can work.”
After many decades, we need to reintroduce markets to the healthcare industry.
Joe Biden
…is not going nuts. According to Joe Biden.
Because who is a better judge of whether or not someone is crazy than the crazy person?
I wish he wasn’t collapsing so fast. I wanted him to hang on at least through the convention.
Health-Care Costs
How to dramatically reduce costs, without “Medicare For All” (which would quickly mean Medicare For None).
One of the infuriating things about the health debate was the false notion that we who don’t want the government to take it over think that the system is fine, or don’t have any ideas how to fix it. The Left just doesn’t like them, and as with climate, it’s not about the policy, it’s about control.
Jeff Goldstein
A long-time blogger needs help.
I haven’t been tracking it, but I’m sure I no longer have the readership I once did either. The Internet moves on.
[Tuesday-afternoon update]
As Andrew W. notes in comments, things are looking less grim for them, but he could still use some help.
