The Mayor’s Colon

posted by on September 11 at 14:02 PM

MAYOR GETS CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH - ENCOURAGES CANCER SCREENING Be aware of your personal risk factors and get screened early

SEATTLE – Acknowledging September as a national cancer awareness month, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels today encouraged people to talk with their doctors about their personal risk factors of cancer and encouraged screening for early detection. Last week Nickels underwent screening for colon cancer at Group Health Cooperative, his second — the first screening was three years ago, shortly before he turned 50.

Nickels has a family history of cancer. The mayor’s father Robert C. Nickels was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1980. It reappeared in his liver in 1982 and he survived 25 years without further reoccurrence. He passed away in May at the age of 81.

“I am fortunate to have received a clean bill of health,” said Nickels. “I will continue to get regular screenings and talk with my doctor about how to lower my risk of colon cancer and stay healthy.”

I have just been informed by Nat “Iron Man” Irons, our tech wizard, that if the Mayor was indeed full of shit, a colonoscopy could not be performed.

Learning is fun.

Well when he's got a big dick like Ron Sims massaging his prostate on a regular basis you just know he's gonna be healthy and "clear" down there.

And if THAT blob is the picture of health then America really is not fat!

Or ... he could just get mild to moderate exercise and eat a more varied diet, replacing oils with olive oil, and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits and less red meat ...

@3 - really didn't need to read that ...
