When asked, Harkin told reporters when the work begins, “We intend to regulate every facet of food Americans eat in schools except Oreos.,” he vehemently stated. “That icon, for obvious reasons, is off limits.”
A goal of the Obama administration is eliminating childhood hunger by 2015, but as usual has provided few details of how it will accomplish this goal. The few details that have leaked out contained words such as demands, czar, federal control and immigrant labor.
Concannon also said he wants people who rely on USDA food programs to be able to buy more food from select farmers’ markets.
According to Sen. Harkin, we’re putting so much corn in gasoline, I’m for declaring it a beverage, serving in school food programs and buying with food stamps. “Additionally, this will help the most needy during the school year and we know they will shop the farmers’ markets for tofu and hummus.”
Senator Harkin represents Iowa, a large hog farming state; he has vast knowledge of porking pig butts. He claims to be a common man.
Raymond Lalumiere of Vermont sent this epistle. Rather short and cogent so, have at it…
Congress is about to pass the largest TAX INCREASE in history under the guise of saving the planet with a Bill that is a NON SOLUTION to a NON EXISTING PROBLEM, ” CAP and TAX” opps “CAP and TRADE” HR2454 is not about the environment, but is all about controlling U.S citizens thru their use of energy and taking money from our pockets and lining the pockets of a select group.
A member of that group is Al Gore with his investments of Millions of Dollars in a number of so called green companies. Under Cap and Tax, money goes from our pockets to Al’s pockets to the tune of about One BILLION dollars.
CO2 is a necessary harmless trace gas in our atmosphere. CO2 is a very minor player in Global Climate Change, which has been going on for about 5 billion years now, it is not even in the top Ten (10) drivers of climate change and Mankind is only responsible for Three (3%) percent of CO2 in the atmosphere. If you could some how remove all the CO2 produced by Mankind starting in the year 1800 till the present, CO2 levels in the atmosphere instead of being 385 part per million would instead be 373 parts per million now and Global Temperature might be as much as Point Zero Three (.03) degrees cooler today. An amount so small I believe few people could even measure it.
Notably Sens. Leahy and Sanders voted against returning war veterans getting jobs. Instead, they voted to let illegals have the jobs while Americans suffer a punishing 9.6% unemployment rate.
Actually, people past collecting unemployment comp, working PT jobs or giving up looking for work, pushes the rate is closer to 16%.
What do you have to say about these numbers, Senators?
After several defeated efforts, Sen. Sessions (R-Ala.) finally won over a majority of his colleagues this morning. They agreed with him that illegal aliens should not get jobs created with federal tax dollars.
In March, the Sessions E-Verify amendment was killed by tabling in a 50-47 vote.
But this morning, the tabling motion failed 44-53. (The amendment then passed on voice vote.)
12 Democrats and 1 Independent defied Party leadership and voted with all 40 Republicans to:
permanently authorize E-Verify, so the pro-amnesty forces can’t constantly threaten to kill it if they don’t get their way
require all federal contractors to use E-Verify so returning veterans and other unemployed Americans will get jobs created with federal tax money. [snip]
Vermont’s Congressional Delegation has consistently VOTED against American workers and returning Veterans and for illegal immigrants.
Don’t say you didn’t vote that way; I have your voting records! Bernie voted for corporate slavery in the chicken plants, keeping the wages down. Leahy doing the same by making sure no one can check eligibility of the illegal workers on federal and state job sites.
Next time you meet them ask them why they voted for illegals and not the returning vets. Why are they voting for Jose and Miguel instead of Joe and Mike who are paying taxes to the schools here and across the country. What about the Guard deploying to Afghanistan this year.
Are they coming back to no jobs because Leahy, Sanders or Welch voted for illegals getting jobs and amnesty? Call them up and ask them!
Makes one wish Margaret Sanger pushed her ideas along more energetically.
The short haired one hacks through her disbelief in western medicine, while the other picks something (scabs, lice, cooties, cancer lesions) from her leg.
If anyone is interested in donating to a fund for getting this pair spayed, let Accuracy in Media know.
This is a phenomenal ad for letting only landowners vote.
Go ahead; tell the other towns and the rest of the state HOW MUCH YOU CARE!
Your actions belie the caring statement. With property taxes going out of control, disabled vets usually living on fixed incomes are on the very edge. Some of these are WWII, some Korean War, who knows when or where they served.
The State of Vermont raised the exemption of the first $40,000 of property appraisal for at least 50% disabled or greater veterans. The minuscule numbers of Vets in each town isn’t going to break your bank; it might break theirs. Should they have checked with the town before serving?
This is soooooo retro. Why it will make you lust for metal edged Formica countertops in the kitchen.
Think Metropolitan and cement mixer in the same image. Conjoined!
In celebration, North Korea fired a barrage of short-range missiles. The North is likely to fire medium or short-range missiles from its east coast that could include Scuds with a range of about 340 km (210 miles) or Rodong missiles with a range of up to 1,000 km (620 miles).
There are plans to test a missile in early July, with sufficient range to reach Alaska or Hawaii.
This is a direct response to the feckless ONE in the White House who said he would lead the world in nuclear disarmament. Seems like Iran said shove it too! How does that saying go? “Yes, we can.”
Or is it “Yes, we can?”
Recently, the Norks held a successful nuclear test, which experts said put the state closer to having a working nuclear bomb.
In April, North Korea violated U.N. resolutions banning it from ballistic missile launches. These consisted of what was widely seen as disguised long-range missile tests.
Kim Jong-Il welcomes the Vermont House of Representatives Wizowaty, Botzow, Deen, Donovan, Masland, Minter, Pellett, Ram, Shand, Sharpe, Spengler, Stevens and Weston plus the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom in Burlington to come to Pyongyang and prostrate themselves at his feet.
One other question fools. What is the carbon footprint of all this posturing by North Korea? You are all so damned worried about goodies such as that here in Vermont!
In a glut of confusion, Vermont House members joined the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom in making this declaration in the US. I figured they might have gone to No. Korea at least for a big impact.
When asked about North Korea and Iran, they were unable to explain why people were upset with those countries. The Peace and Freedom moonbats opined that Iran hasn’t detonated any nukes. Just because the No. Koreans shipped weapons to terrorists and threatened the world, they didn’t bomb anyone yet, unlike the US.
But the Vermont House members and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom point out with horror, that the USA had G.W. Bush. Furthermore, Dick Cheney is in the news at times too.
Vermont House Declares August 6, 2009 Nuclear Disarmament Day
The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom in Burlington is pleased to announce that the Vermont House of Representatives has passed a resolution in special session designating August 6, 2009 as Nuclear Disarmament Day.
Representatives Wizowaty of Burlington, Botzow of Pownal, Deen of Westminister, Donovan of Burlington, Masland of Thetford, Minter of Waterbury, Pellett of Chester, Ram of Burlington, Shand of Weathersfield, Sharpe of Bristol, Spengler of Colchester, Stevens of Waterbury and Weston of Burlington offered the resolution which passed on June 2.
This collection of loons give the following reasons for the designation of Nuclear Disarmament Day are:
that 64 years have passed since the United States dropped the first atomic bomb on the civilian population of Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945 resulting in 100,00 deaths;
This seems to ‘splain why the rest of the world hasn’t used nukes! Object lessons are soooo cool!
that in 1996 the International Court of Justice concluded “that the threat or use of nuclear weapons would generally be contrary to the rules of international law…[snip]
This same bunch of clowns also ruled that the Sudanese are naughty in Darfur, the Hutus committed a no-no in Rwanda, shook their finger at the ethnic cleansing now going on in Bosnia, but said squat about the mess in Zimbabwe, because the white farmers “had it coming to them.” Cholera is a great product, in demand worldwide. All this worked out swell, didn’t it.
the United States has an unfulfilled obligation under Article VI of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to conduct negotiations on nuclear disarmament in good faith;
Let France, Germany and that East Side batch of U(seless) N(obodies) solve that particular problem. They are fantastic at running off at the mouth telling others what to do.
our nation currently has a President who has stated that as the only country ever to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to lead us to a world without nuclear weapons;
Our Nation has a President who is lucky to find the bathroom in the Oval Office. Heads of other countries tell him to apologize because somebody in their country is PO’ed over a stolen election. He says no nukes and the Norks set off the big M-80 and several roman candles, telling him YESSsss, WE CAN! Do you feel the ONE’s power?
This is where this from where this insanity comes.

You want what he’s peddling and that makes you losers!
The map shows the cost to the states in millions. Notice the states in green are either bankrupt, going bankrupt, or have no economies without the OPM of the Stimulus Plan bailing them out.
Obama isn’t dumb enough to believe that the many billions of dollars in costs that his proposal will impose on energy companies, etc., will somehow disappear thereafter. But he thinks you are. (emphasis added)
Obama: “At a time of great fiscal challenges, this legislation is paid for by the polluters who currently emit the dangerous carbon emissions that contaminate the water we drink and pollute the air we breathe.”
