UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY

Is it just me? Do you find Hillary Clinton to be unintentionally funny? Earlier last week, it was reported that Hillary Clinton says she would've won election if it were held on October 27. OK, perhaps that is true. It is also pointless. But then again, what do I know? I am a 'deplorable'.

Hillary Clinton says she would've won election if it were held Oct. 27

Last Updated May 2, 2017 10:56 PM EDT

Hillary Clinton on Tuesday blamed FBI Director James Comey and Russian intervention in the election for her shocking loss to President Trump in last November's presidential election.

"I was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me, but got scared off," the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said at the Women for Women International Luncheon in New York during a conversation with Christiane Amanpour.

Clinton said that as Nate Silver has concluded, "If the election had been held on October 27, I'd be your president, and it wasn't.

Super Bowl LI

New England Patriots at Atlanta Falcons

February 5, 2017 - NRG Stadium, Houston, TX
Attendance: 70,807

	1	2	3	4	5	Total
New England Patriots	0	3	6	19	6	34
Atlanta Falcons	0	21	7	0	0	28

Do you recall Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Matt Ryan claiming that he would have won the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots if the game had ended in the third quarter? Like Hillary's moronic statement, this would have been technically true. Turns out football games are four quarters long, in fact, this game went into overtime. When the actual game was over, the New England Patriots were the victors. Similarly, when the election was over, Donald Trump was the victor. Is this so difficult for Hillary Clinton to understand? Obviously, it is. Oh well, I never thought she was that bright anyway.

SUPER BOWL ANALYSIS

Yesterday the Super Bowl took place in Arizona. More than 110 Million people in the United States, and millions more around the world, watched the New England Patriots defeat the Seattle Seahawks. Many people watch the game just to see the expensive commercials run by corporate America. (I am one of those people.)

Is it just me, or does this football look a little bit deflated?

My super bowl is different. My super bowl is a SOUPER BOWL. Today, I want to tout how delicious so many of my meals have been when combined with soup. I started getting into the soup habit when I started eating healthier on the road a few weeks ago. At Jason's Deli and Panera Bread, there are some delicious soup options, for example, Tortilla Soup, that still leave room for a half-sandwich. I have added soup to practically every lunch and dinner prepared at home.

Shopping at Costco, Mariano's and Trader Joe's has been a very rewarding for discovering healthy, low-calorie soup options. Some of my favorites (1 cup serving) have been:
(1 CUP=8 fl oz.=240 ml)

TRADER JOE'S BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP 90 CALORIES
TRADER JOE'S ORGANIC CRAMY TOMATO SOUP 90 CALORIES
TRADER JOE'S SWEET POTATO BISQUE 130 CALORIES
TRADER JOE'S PUMPKIN SOUP (seasonal) 100 CALORIES
HEALTHY CHOICE CHICKEN with RICE 110 CALORIES
HEALTHY CHOICE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP 90 CALORIES

This is my SOUPER BOWL. Each one is a winner!

SUPER BOWL ANALYSIS

As I have previously reported, one of my favorite stories that I learned within the past two years from my Rabbi at my Chabad House in Chicago involves a story about the great sage, Rabbi Hillel. This 2000+ year old story goes something like this: A man interested in converting to Judaism said that he would accept the teachings of Judaism if a Rabbi could teach him the entire Torah (Five Books of Moses) while the prospect stood on one foot. He first asked this of a Rabbi who was insulted by the 'ridiculous' request. The prospect was undeterred. The prospect approached Rabbi Hillel. Rabbi Hillel rose to the challenge, and he said:

'What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary - go and study it!'

It is from this famous quote that I have fashioned the name of my 'weight loss plan'. You could ask me what is the name of my weight loss plan. You could task me with divulging this information while you stood on one foot.

'What is unhealthy for you, do not eat. That is the whole plan; the rest is commentary - go and have lunch!'

AND HERE IS THE EXPLANATION
WHY THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
DEFEATED THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS IN
THE SUPER BOWL.

'What was harmful to their team, they did inflict on their opponent. That explains their success; the rest is commentary - go place your bet for next year.'
