Steal This Meal: Sandwich Makeovers
My lifts right now are Bench (280, I would claim 310 that I hit in April but I couldn’t hit that right now), Squat (390), Deadlift (465). Overall my bench is up 35+ for the year, deadlift is up 65 lbs for the year and squat is up 40 lbs. All these increases have been made eating paleolithic foods and following the Leangains approach to Intermittent Fasting. I will keep everyone posted on my increases to finish up the year. I wanted to do a RAW powerlifting show in September but they wanted almost $100 for me to compete, so maybe next time.

About That Proposed Mosque at ‘Ground Zero’
First of all, it’s not at “ground zero.” It’s several blocks away at an old Burlington Coat Factory store surrounded by three strip joints according to newspaper articles.
More importantly, the main reason the neoconmen are going apesh_ _ over this is that it is all part of their propaganda campaign to convince Americans that “we” are at war with ALL MUSLIMS, and will be forever. No one, not even crazy old wild-eyed Newt Gingrich, has suggested that the people who want to build this mosque are associated with bin Laden. But like bin Laden, they are Muslims.
This of course is the one idea that defines the Republican Party today: war forevermore (and war profits for the war profiteers who fund both parties). War is the health of the state, and the Republican Party likes it that way. So do the Obammunists.
