Considering that only one person I know is in perfect physical condition (and you know who you are, don't you!?) I guess it's fair to say that most of us who slog along life's pathways are not doing that slogging in the best of shape.
So there is a female news anchor named Jennifer Livingston in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, who is, in the eyes of Mr Kenneth Krause, also known as The World's Most Perfect Human Being, a bit on the chubby side. He emailed her a bitchogram in which he said she is not a suitable example for the young kids out there watching the news...all 17 of them.

So what if she is? As we used to say on the playground, this is a conversation between A and B, so can you C your way out of it? In more mature terms (to which I rarely resort) this is not an area in which Mr Krause needs to share his opinion. If Ms Livingston went on TV and said that Rhode Island is the biggest state or announced that Tim Tebow was the Republican candidate for president, then yes, write to her and point out that she erred. Her weight is not the business of Mr Krause. If he doesn't like to watch her do the news (and in his nasty note to her, he says he doesn't watch her anyway) then he can go watch workout videos or something.

We saw Ms Livingston on the morning shows yesterday; she is a pleasant, well-spoken woman. Mr Krause, in the picture we see of him posing with his mountain bike, displaying his many pads, his helmet, his tank top and his bicep tattoo, looks like a man who rides a bike more than anything else, if you catch my drift.
If you're wondering why he sat right down and wrote that nasty letter, well, so am I, except that I'm guessing that he is part of the group that feels qualified to pass judgement on others. That's usually a bad idea, especially for someone less than perfect.
And that's all of us.

What a jerk. I watched her response the other day; how sad that she even had to dignify his unsolicited comments with her (well-said) own. Why did he think she'd be interested in his opinion? Put him on the list with the tacky Torey Smith tweeter from JHU.
I propose turning "Krause" into a verb meaning "offering unsolicited and harsh opprobria." Example: "When that fool in the mall Kraused my clothing choices, I should have walked right out of Valu City."
