Greetings All, I hope you will enjoy the selection of great articles I came across today.
I seem to have contracted a slight case of writers block…or…. maybe I have just been a bit preoccupied for a couple of days.
Anyway : )
Not to worry there is no shortage of writers much greater than I to fill the gap.
So I am going to borrow the Crooks and Liars format today and share some good reads with you.

This really left me wondering just how much further the USDA will take this separation of Humanity and State when I heard about their newspeak term for hungry. I guess if we let the USDA slide with this one they will be happy to show us just how far.

Some say it was a thank you gift…for the Chair he fell out of that your backside will be keeping warm come January…may I remind you that we, the majority actually made that nice chair available to you and we do expect you to use it for more than a perch, much more indeed.
Pelosi offers nice Capitol Hill digs to outgoing Hastert
