Political Bingeing

I was just going through some online clippings the other day and came across an article from earlier this month by Ellen Goodman, the syndicated columnist.  She was talking about Super Tuesday, and said "Well, so much for political bingeing.  Super Tuesday, Super Duper Tuesday, Plus Size Tuesday, Vastly Engorged and Rotund Tuesday turned into a serious case of political bulimia."  I guess we have done such a good job of raising awareness about eating disorders that they've now become part of the political vernacular.  I can't say that's the way I really want life threatening illnesses talked about, but it just highlights the ignorance and how much more we need to do.
