This is so dumb it may not even be funny.
Listen to local fat guy Rush Limbaugh bitch and moan about you kids and your twisted ankles costing him his spare donut money.
Between bites, Rush manages to blame physical activity for our nations health care woes.
Wow!
I have struggled with my own weight too, so I do not mean to disparage "Overweight Americans" per se. I found that a healthy diet and exercise can help me control my weight. What a sap I have been, believing all the exercise industries hype!
I should have been following Rush's examples, apparently.
Unfortunately, the only time Rush breaks a sweat is while he is reaching for seconds at dinner, or when he looks at the recent polls showing Obama's popularity and the GOP's lack thereof.
Folks, I gotta tell you, I, uh, I think that those of you who regularly exercise, playing softball, baseball, basketball, soccer, mountain biking, running, rock climbing, skiing, skating, running, you're the people getting injured. You're the people showing up at the hospital with busted knees, and tendons and skin cancer, ankle sprains, knee and hip replacements, broken bones, concussions, muscle ligament tendon cartilage strains and tears, tendinitis, rotator cuff tears. All you exercise freaks. You're the ones putting stress on the health care system.
What happens when people don't regularly exercise, keep their weight relatively under control? Nothing. They probably don't even know their doctors names.

The new Rush diet. Lose weight like Rush did! No exercise, no diet, just oxycontin and a whole lot of anti-everything rhetoric!
So you're urged, what, to do all this stuff and you end up in the hospital all the time with these injuries, and some people think these injuries are badges of honor, knee surgery scars are badge of honor, shows toughness.
Yeah, toughness somebody else has to pay for.

Epic Exercise FAIL
Apparently, all those emergency rooms are filled with little old ladies who broke their hips playing softball, skin cancer victims who just had to run daily with no consideration for the tax burden of the rich and exercise freaks who simply refuse to live the life of perfect health and harmony that Rush sets as an example for all of us.
Key words, "Somebody else has to pay for."
That is what this all comes down to. When you sign your son up for his first little league team you are personally ruining America's health care system by over stressing it with his certain injuries. Better to tell little Billy that exercise freaks are losers who hate freedom and should lose all that weight and stay fit by following the Rush Limbaugh diet of "No!"
"No!" to exercise.
"No!" to anything that costs rich people tax money.
"Yes!" to prescription pain killers even though you do not exercise.
And "Yes!" to a second and third portion of whatever bullshit Rush has been chewing on all day that he would like you to swallow.
