Penchant denounces Gov. Patterson Obesity Tax

Greensboro, NC -- Penchant Lama today denounced New York governor Paterson's recent call for an obesity tax on non-diet soda, claiming the plan is essentially toothless.

The governor considered Penchant's more severe "pay per pound" plan but ultimately rejected it based on the machete clause.

"You got to get these fat people moving," Penchant said. "You got to motivate these people to get off their tushes. Machetes will do this."

Penchant conceded there may have been a miscommunication between himself and the governor.

"The guy is blind," Penchant explained. "And he's got no sense of humor. He probably didn't understand my video proposal."
