I must admit I cannot stand Glenn Beck. I think he is a self-promoting, unbalanced idiot, who with his rants does great damage to what little common ground we have between the left, right and center of our country. For that reason I was a bit shocked to see the below on his website – […]

I was reading this morning about Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.

The exploding melons, follows discoveries of the […]
I always start my morning on Meatingplace, in part to see what nasty thing the tools of the meat industry have to say about me, but also for breaking news they get with their close relationship to FSIS. I was drawn to the story this morning by Michael Fielding: Citing a complete lack of positive […]
The National Journal reported on the “Moo-in” in Washington D. C. where Morgan the cow held court. It looked like all had fun poking fun at the FDA and touting the taste and alleged benefits of raw milk.
