So is he crazy to draw the comparison?
Yes, if he ignores all the other healthy drinks (like fruit juice) that have more sugar--and I think that restricting yourself to the smallest serving size of Coke is either disingenuous or sloppy.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

we're probably now the closet we've ever been to having an old Spider-Man collector as POTUS.
Spidey fans are in the closet??
After the whole Mephisto thing, YEAH. (RatbastardQuesdafuckface.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I agree that fruit juice is just not healthy, but it's not pitched as water. Honestly I thought a can of coke was 8 oz, so I mea culpa on that.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm drinking wine out of a box right now AI... not bad. But at $14 for 3 litres (at Cost Plus) I consider it a bargain.

But they are pitched as healthy, no? And healthy is what he was saying VitaminWater wasn't? Because if I picked up one of those 12oz bottles of VitaminWater I just got myself 50% of my RDA of 6 vitamins and minerals, with not that much tradeoff in sugar. However, when presented with a wall of Natural Juices and Odwalla, it sure seems like the fruity Odwalla's should cure what ails ya--but only if you're careful. Often they're mostly candy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Oh Kat! I'm so very sorry. I'm going to repeat Teppy though and hope it makes you feel a little better:
He sounds like an ideal patient -- healthy and active -- and will probably do very well and recover completely and in a fairly timely manner.

Don't make that public! Pundits will start going on about how his role models make deals with the Devil!
HA! Well, his little sister has talked about it, so.
His little sister who is yet another race and probaby a stealth Muslim as well.

Yum. A good Belgian lambic is a beautiful thing.
