Strong It appears to be just a wee bit slanted when tied in with the Wamp kid's bid for the seat. Makes Fleischmann appear to be somewhat intimidated. I guess that was your intent. Why not just report the facts. You did study journalism, didn't you?

Oh, no. Say it ain't so!

A great "feel good" article. I can assure you that if you gave free seed and veggie plants in the areas with high food stamp usage,the food stamp usage would not be reduced. In addition, not one household in fifty would even attempt to grow its own food. Food stamps have become a large part of the culture which has developed since the LBJ days. Dr. Shiva should understand that corporations create the foundations similar to Benwood, which fund her efforts. Without them, she might be scratching out a living in her own garden plot, not living off the hard work of real producers.

I applaud Sen. Gregg for his actions. It would be disappointing to have him accept the cabinet seat after Obama's plan to move the US Census to the administrative branch was announced. Although both parties have had their turn to redistrict, never was there such blatant politicizing of a federal agency.
