I should point out that the title is a play on the idea of 40 Acres and a Mule, which was the compensation that was promised to freed African-American slaves after the Civil War. It's also the name of Spike Lee's film company.
I just thought that I should incorporate the 40 pounds I want to lose into the title of the blog, and that was what I thought of. I then changed mule to jackass...because...well...I can be a bit of a jackass. There is, however, no political motivation behind the title...I just thought it sounded somewhat catchy/witty.
