E Pluribus Unum

Michael Park of Fox News is reporting that a New York City lawyer has filed suit against the four big fast-food corporations, saying their fatty foods are responsible for his client's obesity. This is ridiculous enough. However, it has started another wave of pointless invective by conservatives. Their target? The so-called nanny-state. Blogger Dean Esmay writes:

So now where do the nanny-state elitists, money-grubbers and moralizing control freaks turn their attention? Conservatives and libertarians warned that fast food was next. It Has Begun. Alcohol is next on the hit list. Just you wait. If the Center for Science in the Public Interest doesn't think it's good for us, lawyers will find a way to line their pockets while "protecting" us from the evils of freedom of choice. God, it's just the simple truth: if it does not involve the pelvis, there is nothing the Left hates more than FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

Well. I think it was Ralph Nader that said that a double cheeseburger was a weapon of mass destruction. If that is true (which it is) then why are conservatives getting hot under the collar, railing against the nanny-state? Hate to break it to ya pal, but the party's almost over! The nanny-state is going to be the only one left standing after all you guys drop dead of arteriosclerosis, lung cancer and cirrhosis of the liver. I am so evil. Bwa-hahahaha!
