News, views, and attitude on just about everything

If lovely calves aren’t your best feature, how are your abs?


I recently posted a confession that my calves may not be the fittest or best-looking part of my anatomy. Then I ran onto an article at the Huffington Post blog about a freshman Republican Congressman from Illinois, Aaron Schock, who’s stirring up controversy and causing hearts (of men and women) to flutter over his attractive abs.

Yes, that’s right. With our country facing a world of economic, social, and political crises, Rep. Schock’s getting more attention for his abs than his politics.

You can read more about all that at the Huffington Post website, and, to be fair, the fuss over Schock’s abs wasn’t his doing, although like all good politicians he admits he’ll take all the legitimate votes he can get for whatever reason.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see anything in the stories about the good congressman concerning any ab workouts or other fitness tips. (My abs are the sort that are better called “flabs.”)
