The Department of Homeland Security and the TSA have released an advisory ordering Americans to pack our carryons in an orderly manner, like some 1940’s housewife.  We are supposed to fold our clothes and lay them in layers, as well as wind up all electronics and place them on the top of the pile.  I don’t even think my dad, the most orderly person alive, has ever packed his bag like the model they showed as an example of how bags are to look this Thanksgiving week.

Perhaps this was the final straw for this influential woman: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-11-19-townsend_N.htm    ….I bet her bags explode like mine, and she’s proud of the fact that she has more important things to do than micro-manage the folding of her underwear, as she’s slightly behind schedule, in accordance to some ridiculous rules dictated by our government under the guise of personal safety while fishing around in the dark at 4:30 am at a Hyatt Regency on day 45 of her business trip.

Dumb.  I’ll keep non-packing my bags, thanks anyway.

I’m going to get beat up for thinking this even mildly funny, but, perhaps this is what I recently overcame.  I’m 10 pounds lighter now from running, walking, and minimally riding home from bars, as opposed to riding 25 hours a week.

The only question is, hey, what about the skinny muscular people, like cyclists?  Are they Mediumorexics? Suffering from Mediocroexia?

P.S. My gubernatorial campaign is coming along nicely.
