IN this covetous town, the delicacies of the Georgetown Cupcake shop stand alone as symbols of wish fulfillment — heaping swirls of luscious confection atop rich, creamy pastry...Therefore: Operation Cupcake. As the Federal Communications Commission debated final rules last December on how Internet service providers should manage their traffic, AT&T delivered 1,500 of these opulent desserts to the F.C.C.’s headquarters here.
First, perhaps these "gifts" should not have been accepted by the FCC. Second, what if, God forbid, they were tainted in some manner and well just suppose, well one can consider. Third, and my main concern, is think of all the calories. It is not as if the FCC folks get any real exercise, I have been there. Now add this load of say 600 kcal per cupcake and 1500 of these fat pills and we have almost 1 million kcal. Well at 3500 kcal per pound this would have added almost 300 pounds to the waist lines of the already over burdened waists of these Government workers. And we are then forced to pay for the sequellae resulting from this assault.
Why should AT&T be allowed to do this adding to an already exploding health care costs?
