greg: welcome back to the five. according to the new york times, a paper, our inability to create resolutions created $62 billion industry made up of health club and diet industries. our lousy with l power means gyms and weight watchers will never go out of business because we are all losers at losing. where you might see failure in this, i see something uniquely human. resolutions are based on the fact that humans loathe humanity. we hate our faults so we try to slay them. why is that? we are the only animals on the planet who try to quit things. you don t see bald eagles or badgers making resolution. on january 2, you don t see the raccoon avoiding your trash can in favor of low-fat
florida. that is important. ron paul could pull 200,000 greg: the it better comparison is perot and what he did with bush. bob: those were states that were heavily republican. if perot had not been in the race, the results would haven t been different. dana: paul, a lot of college students back him. they are on winter break. their chances of showing up in new hampshire is raised. bob: decent weather. eric: they may be so stoned they can t find the caucus. dana: my goodness. no. kimberly: i think palin is running around, she doesn t want to be anyone s v.p. anyone would be happy to get her endorsement. what weight it will carry to be seen. dana: they don t hurt you. greg: mine does. every time i endorse something it goes bankrupt or they just destroy. bob: give her this. she probably could help in

machines. eric: what is a lemur? kimberly: cute. dana: with a long tail. eric: what was the question? my resolution is to listen to more rush limbaugh and mark levin. greg: you re branching out. kilhe wants to be like himself. you broke yours. greg: any resolution involving exercise, isn t it meaningless? bob: it s also dangerous. god gave us only a certain number of breaths in our life. why waste them on spinning and the balls they roll around on? i go past the gym and i find it humorous. i played football as you know for a lot of years. the last exercise i did, when i walked off the football field, i said i am never ever going to run anywhere, going to lift any weights. only thing i do is swim. and generally that s
