Stop the Presses...

Boat That Sank May Have Been Overloaded, Test Suggests

Yes, and by about a ton. Moveable seating coupled with 9700 pounds or so of overweight seniors in a craft built to carry 7500 pounds of pre-McDonalds folks.

But for the love a' pete, DON'T tell that to the ACLU or we'll be hearing about fat-discrimination until the crack of doom.

What, you've never stood in a crowded elevator and tried doing the math as you gazed upon one round one after another boarding? Not to be an alarmist, but it isn't just boats that are going by 1950 standards regarding average weight.

UPDATE: My editor informs me that my daily hit count is dropping so it's time to emulate big-blogdom:

CINDY SHEEHAN REPORTS THAT NTSB TESTS SHOW POSSIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN CAPSIZED BOAT AND OKLAHOMA BOMBER WHO MAY HAVE HAD CONNECTIONS WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN AND POSSESSED PROOF POSITIVE THAT ARAFAT WAS KILLED BY INSIDIOUS JEWISH POISONS PLANTED BY SEVERAL NEW ORLEANS RESIDENTS WORKING FOR TOM DELAY AND KARL ROVE.
